The Tabard Inn is a wonderful rarity in an era of cookie-cutter and faux-historic corporate hotels. My room contained a delightful collection of furniture, art and standing or table lamps. I think, though, that they could fine a way to provide some plugs and USB ports, as well as a small work area, without undermining the rooms' historic flavor. In addition, the tub/shower was awkward to get in and out and lacked safety bars, and the hot/cold mixer didn't work properly. Still, a wonderful place to stay in DC.
