My girlfriend and I stayed at the Tabard Inn three different times over the course of this past summer (two one-night stays plus a two-nighter. At ± $120/night, it’s a solid value. We will definitely be back.
Caveat. If your preference is for the perfection, homogenity and, well, blandness of the chain hotels, the Tabard is likely not for you. On the other hand, if you like quirky places with history and personality, you’ll probably love the Tabard, as we do.
Location. Within walking distance of many DC tourist spots, e.g., ten-min. to Dupont Circle (Metro, restaurants, etc); 25-min. to the White House, 30-min. to M St. & Wisconsin Ave. (heart of Georgetown); 60-min. to the Capitol.
Rooms. Each of our rooms was different (size, configuration, etc); all were clean, comfortable and reasonably quiet. The décor (antiques and flea market pickings) feels circa 1900. Be advised, however: i) they don’t have microwaves, fridges or TVs ii) some of the rooms share a bathroom down the hall—so you may want to confirm your room has a bath, if that’s important to you, before booking.
Restaurant. Breakfast at the Tabard is not to be missed! The food is amazing and the patio is gorgeous. “Added” bonus: they give you a $10 voucher for use at the restaurant for each night’s stay. Lastly, though we did not have dinner there, I would note that the restaurant is very highly rated.
