Everything was excellent. Only experience we had that put a damper on one night was there was no hot water for showers at 11:30pm. Bathrooms were too small. No counter to put your stuff on or a curling iron. Door to toilet and shower was extremely difficult to get in and close behind you (small area) especially since door opened inward.

My family recently stayed at The Riggs while we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. The staff at the Riggs were always friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. Garret and the other doormen always remembered us and welcomed us back each day and made sure we had what we needed, even making sure we got everything out of the Ubers we arrived in. The staff were also kind enough to deliver a bottle of champagne and a chocolate cake to us on arrival day to celebrate our special occasion and even included a card. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and well kept. We really enjoyed the warm coziness of the rooms with tasteful decor and color instead of the sad beige rooms we've had at other hotels. It was also wonderful to see throwbacks to the time the building was a bank, like the room number plates that resemble safe deposit box plates. Everything was clean and the complimentary robes, slippers, umbrella, and reusable bag were very nice to have. I also have to talk about the onsite restaurant, Cafe Riggs. The food was absolutely delicious. A few of our favorites were the Shakshuka, the salmon toast, and the goat cheese tart. The coffee was also a highlight for us. It was rich but not bitter in the slightest and was easily one of the best cups of coffee we’ve had. The location of the hotel is also perfect, it's in central DC and is only a block from the metro station or a quick Uber to most anything in DC. The Riggs staff always made sure we had everything we needed
