Hotel and room was clean and hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Decor was a bit untraditional, but unique. For business travelers the accomidations in the room were great, free wireless internet, power outlets built into the desk and comfortable chairs. The fitness center was great with new equipment and a large selection of dumb bells (fitness center phone didn't work which could be a concern for those exercising alone). My biggest issues were the $38.00 per day parking fee which we did not expect and the fact that the bed was not at all comfortable. I had to put the long pillow between the mattress and box spring on my side to keep from falling off the bed. Dupont Circle has a very diverse crowd - kids may have a few questions for you that you may not be prepared to address. All in all we had a great time in DC, but will opt to try somewhere else next time.

The entire staff was friendly, polite, and accomodating. The hotel is centrailly located in Dupont Circle, just a short 2 blocks from the Metro. There are many great restaurants in the area or just a short walk from Georgetown and the DC Centrai Business District. The rooms were very large, which made for a comfortable family experience. The pool was a little cool, but very refreshing after a long day sightseeing. And finally--the evening beer/wine reception was a perfect addition to our stay. We'd definately stay again!

Hotel very nice overall Pros: Good location, approx 8 min walk to Dupont Circle metro station, very clean, nice size room, quiet room, friendly staff, good TV in room, nice work area in room for laptop computer, free wireless internet in room, good houskeeping Cons: probably a little too high end for kids (very artsy-fartsy), on-site restaurant expensive and small portions, room door would not close fully on its own and was left open by houskeeping, shower water pressure POOR, no exhaust fan in bathroom, room very dark, concierge never returned call to help plan trip agenda

This hotel seems more like a European spa than the usual hotel experience. The decor is modern and attractive. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and tasteful. It's in the Dupont Circle area, so lots of restaurants, etc., and close to the attractions of the city. And, it's affordable!

This was a great stay from arrival to the check out. The staff at this upscale boutique hotel are super attentive and friendly. They go out of their way to accomodate. Within 10 minutes of our check in, we were called by staff and offered help to ease into our vacation. The staff were excellent at every turn. The coffee in the morning in the lobby is the perfect way to start the day, with a little walk around the neighborhood. A daily wine tasting in the evening is a nice touch that transforms the lobby to a cafe/bar, the right mix of conversation and chatter. It is located nearly adjacent to Rock Creek Park, 15 minutes from Georgetown, and nearly on Dupont Circle. We stayed over a weekend and enjoyed the market on Dupont Circle, used the METRO (2 blks) and taxis to get around town. We never rented a car but may next time, just to get further out into Virginia and Maryland at our leisure. Service was outstanding, location excellent. It was a superb value ... we will definitely return. No accident everyone raves about this place.
