In the June 2002, Civil War Times Illustrated, there is an article about the Willard and the Spotswood hotels.

I found this quote in the article to be quite amusing:
"Of all the detestable places Washington is first. Crowd, heat, bad quarters, bad fair [fare], bad smells, mosquitos, and a plague of flies transcending everything within my experience.  Beelzebub surely reigns here, and Willard's Hotel is his temple."
- George Templeton Strong

Greg,

It's funny, but some things never change! Beelzebub still reigns in Washington, 140 years later.  smile/hump.gif
