The Churchill Hotel near Embassy Row

The Churchill Hotel near Embassy Row

4/10 Poor
"The supervisor on the front desk was terrible, she’s not nice and very rude. She needs to learn how to welcome guest in a friendly way!! My husband was very upset with her because at first we asked her if we can check in early because we had plans and the way she responded was very off and that makes my husband very angry and so they got into a heated argument. She even asked where we parked our car and we need to pay for the fee without even asking if we already had a parking spot booked outside, we just need to park for a few minutes to unload our stuffs and bring inside our room because we already booked a parking garage close to the hotel but it takes us an hour to finished checking in because we changed room thrice due to very loud AC fan and the room smells really bad. But after we settled and finally finished checking in, she then apologized about how she treated us during our stay. Despite what had happened earlier, the engineer that checked our AC was very kind and polite."
