Ryan LackeyJanuary 17, 2014Pretty big variation in quality of rooms; it is an old retrofitted hotel, so some have large utility enclosures which are remarkably noisy. Complain if you get one.
Glenn HuntNovember 13, 2012Super elegant rooms. Great location. Exceedingly pricy breakfast "buffet" consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. I recommend you go out for breakfast.
Vince TAugust 11, 2012Seafood salad in the lounge is awesome ... Bar tender needs to buy a book; valet bell and front desk staff were amazing , friendly , helpful and all about making sure our needs were met.- CherylSeptember 7, 2014Just a walk away from DuPont Circle. Staff was ok, didn't make an impression. Room was nice, spacious even though had interior view. Bath products were great & abundant -- love the luxury collection!
Staff is awesome, and the rooms are fantastic. Easy walk to DuPont Circle metro, and extensive dining options close by. Highly recommended.
Ryan ServatiusMay 13, 2015Starbucks is just out the front door and to the right on the corner of 21st and P St. At end of block.
John ReynoldsNovember 27, 2013Daily parking avoids the hassle, call 10min ahead and they'll have your car ready to go. Super clean hotel, friendly staff
BxMimi72December 15, 2012Very nice indeed, but...no free wifi (13 dollars a day and no parking unless you want to pay $40 a day for it...next time more research on ammenities.
Uber if you need to find transportation between 8:15-9:00 or be prepared to listen to the doorman whistle a cab for you for like 15 minutes.
Michael KellyJuly 15, 2012Overall room is nice. Entrance light by door is out and air filter is clogged. Around midnight an alarm clock under the bed went off. Have to wonder how long it had been there.
Lobby looks like the lobby of a nice apartment building. Hallways upstairs are beautiful as are the rooms. Can't beat Frette robes, bedding and towels.
This place has some of the best customer service! They really take care of their platinum guests. It pays to be loyal!
Monday night, happy hour until 7. ALL wines are $5, drafts $3.
Jill BoyleMay 9, 2013The fitness room is excellent - refrigerated towels, ear phones, bottled water, and apples all complimentary!
Jaymin KimJanuary 7, 2018Mostly a fine hotel- I like their bathtub and toiletries. But they charge $12.99 a day for wifi. What century are we in?
Nice rooms and great historical building. Good location to decent eats in Dupont Circle Read more
- The Seafood salad is awesome! In the lounge also available via room service.
Get the tomato soup and grilled cheese from room service.
Joe BNovember 13, 2015Had a poor experience. I was put in an incorrect room first and it took management over an hour to correct. Plus they had an attitude about correcting the situation. Rooms are okay but need updating
Bedding and mattress is amazing. Can't ... Get... Out... Of bed!!!
Jessie LebitzApril 27, 2018You'd think a hotel this expensive would wash their sheets. Make sure to check for dirty sheets before getting in bed.
Mark BuensalidoMay 28, 2013The hallways and rooms are worthy of its ratings. The lobby experience leaves very much to be desired.
Wine ArkSeptember 17, 2011Don't hit front desk after 10pm very rude and unhelpful. Second bed not made up, wouldn't give us our bags, bell boy didn't come and it was after midnight, wife had to argue with rude lady to get them
Service declining. Two days in a row the room not turned in the afternoon. And one time the room was turned and no towels were left at all.
Asked for two connected room, confirmed over the phone and didn't get them upon arrival. Disappointing but staff was making effort to find a solution
$4 soft drinks with no refill. Crazy. Food is okay, but you can definitely do better elsewhere. Service is marginal at best.
The hamburger in the lounge is excellent. Just watch out for the $7.50 bottle of budlight.
