My girlfriend and I picked the Fitzpatrick as the place to celebrate our one-year anniversary. I chose room 307 (aka "The Tower Room") based on suggestions from other reviewers. Since it was a special occasion, I called the hotel the day before our stay and asked if they could pick up a nice bouquet of flowers for my sweetheart (awww.....). The front desk person was happy to help me out with this and ended up choosing a beautiful arrangement from the local florist, Hendrick's. She was also very discreet in discussing the extra charges for the flowers in front of my girlfriend upon check-in.
Our room was cozy and charming. Flawless, clean, and neatly decorated. There was a ceramic stone fireplace with a remote control - pretty nice feature right there. We had a nice view of the downtown square (not much to look at, but still a nice view). We went at a time when not much was going on, and it turned out to be a very peaceful visit. A continental-style breakfast was served in the morning, and there is a nice eating area inside as well as in the back courtyard.
There are other places to stay while in Washington, but I have a feeling we'll be back at the Fitzpatrick at some point. Well worth it.
