I have stayed at the Latham twice in the past year. I have found the rooms to vary greatly and so have my colleagues Some are awkwardly configured with somewhat dated furniture, others are more standard in shape and size and don't look as shopworn. It never hurts to ask to be moved to another room - the staff seem pretty reasonable about such requests. However, I lucked out when last I stayed at the Latham in December. I arrived close to midnight and was given a duplex suite (with 2 bathrooms!), although I was paying for a standard room. Much appreciated! I would return on the off chance of such an upgrade again, also because of the Latham's central location in Georgetown and (always) comfortable beds,

We needed to be in Georgetown and found this location to be perfect. The hotel was offering a value rate and the price was dead on for the product. The room was exceptionally clean and everything worked. The furnishings were dated and re painted. You could spin this as a "green" solution to providing lodging. In our view we prefer a lower price and a dated product versus a modern room with a high room rate. The staff was superlative.

stayed here several years ago and rebooked for xmas 2011. tiny room, tiny bathroom, no door between sink and main room, ancient television. lobby is still beautiful thanks to restaurant pull.

The Good
- We paid $150 a night for a two floor suite in Georgetown - Excellent
- Location in the middle of Georgetown
- Room service was excellent due the five star restaurant downstairs - Citronelle
- We had one of our best meals ever for two people at Citronelle, but we spend $670 on it!
- Ten minute walk to the Kennedy center
- Free wireless
- Front desk very helpful on all issues

The Bad
- Our room (633) was starting to look a little tired as shown by the worn carpet and pealing wall paper
- The valet parking was $40 a night, which I thought was steep but maybe not for downtown Georgetown
- This a three star hotel, but it has a lot of four star touches

Overall, if your rate is under $200 then you have a deal I would stay there.
