Stayed here for a weekend getaway.
The location is fairly convenient to the Dupont Circle Metro station, which is about a 5 minute walk. The area is a nice neighborhood and fairly quiet though not very far from the usual tourist areas around the mall.
It's amazing how different hotels in the same area can differ so much. As I approached the hotel for the first time, I realized that I had stayed at the Double Tree next door a few years ago on business. I recalled liking the DT, so I was looking forward to this hotel. However, any comparisons between these two hotels ended with their proximity.
The room was on the 5th floor, right next to the elevators. The noise wasn't too bad, but you could hear the people as they came and went to/from the elevators.
This was a king room but not very roomy. In fact, the head of the bed was against a wall that was only wide enough to accommodate a night stand on one side of the bed. The bathroom was also very small, and opening and closing the door was a bit of an acrobatic routine. The shower also had low water pressure.
The room also had a rather noisy a/c unit that was constantly turning on and off.
In addition to the small rooms, I found that the parking garage was also undersized. The spaces are extremely tight and the columns between the spaces makes them even smaller. As the guests fill in, the spaces are quickly used up as many cars take up more than a single spot, simply out of necessity. In an ideal world, if all of the guests drove Minis and Smartcars, this garage would be adequate, but in the real world, it's just a nightmare which is not worth the $30 per night parking fee.
I also discovered that the restaurant/bar downstairs, and also room service, closed down at 10 PM. After that, your only options for food were pizza delivery or a walk down to P Street.
The price was right for a well-located hotel in DC, but there are better options here, IMO.
