This hotel is in the heart of Dupont circle. The local restaurants close later (like 10pm) and it is easy to find reasonable prices. Blocks from the metro. The community is very walkable. We traveled with teens and tried to avoid the bar area on the south part of the block which was very noisy and had alot of patrons just standing on the corner. This was in stark contrast to the lovely patio seating offered by neighboring restaurants& cafes.
Our soaps and lotions were not automatically refilled, we needed to request more (maybe a cost saving measure?). The complementary robes were not rehung, and not replaced when placed on the floor after use. The pool area is oddly located on the second floor and the lights were off. It seemed odd to have a closed pool during very humid weather (early May).
The happy hour was geared towards business travelers / adults. Overall, we have stayed at other hotels of this brand and may have expected more. I would recommend a different hotel if you are bringing kids. This usually excellent brand has several choices in the area.
