Airlie Holidays

Hotel was nice. Staff was very helpful. My only complaint is that there was ALWAYS a line at the front desk. Whether I had to ask a question, check in or, check out.

Front counter person told me I get a free bottle of wine. Said I didn’t drink alcohol but would take a soda instead if they offered. Just said sorry no. For those who do not drink or have had issues with substance abuse. This kind of stunk. If you’re willing to give a bottle a wine offer a free 2 liter.

Great Customer service

The hotel was nice, very friendly and helpful staff. The bed was comfortable and the a/c in the room worked really well. My only complaint is that you can very easily hear neighbors, definitely recommend a sound machine for sleeping (which they offer for free if you need).

Don’t get me wrong.., I loved the Tabard Inn. But I acknowledge it’s not for everyone. I liked the eccentricities, the coziness, the charm. Having studied Chaucer I relished in the references to his pilgrims. The military history connections were fascinating. And the staff … the most hospitable anywhere. The restaurant was on par with any we had experienced in DC, including The Palm. And the coffee was the best anywhere. Sure we had to get used to the memory foam mattresses. But this was easily offset by all the extras that made our trip to DC so memorable.
