What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 158 guest reviews
The Virginia and Cottages draws consistently enthusiastic praise for its beautiful historic décor, prime walkable location, and warm, professional staff, with the Ebbitt Room restaurant and bar standing out as highlights. Minor but recurring practical concerns include an aging air conditioning system, stair accessibility challenges for upper floors, and occasional lapses in luggage and valet assistance. The overwhelming majority of guests leave satisfied and eager to return, making isolated service gaps the main area for improvement.
