What is now the Dupont has been through many personality changes. Now entirely renovated in early 21st century style it's not hugely expensive by DC standards and ideally located for the metro and a huge collection of restaurants. Reception staff were very friendly, public areas and rooms were spotlessly clean, and there is little traffic noise despite the building being on a triangle of land backing onto a traffic circle. Some questionable room decor choices though. The espresso-color stained light wood furniture does not stand up well to hotel use (every scratch and ding shows) and the shallow bathroom sinks are trendy but guaranteed to splash water in every direction.
