We visited DC for my wife's birthday and the 4th of July celebrations. While driving up I got a call from the staff at Donovan House inquiring about our upcoming stay, the fact that it was my wife's bday and the room set-up. I spoke with Cherise and informed her about our plans and she said that she would have everything set up for us. Upon arrival we did have to wait about 20 min for the room, check in time was at 3pm and we got there at 3pm, but it was a holiday and I realize that it was busy busy busy. Once we checked in and got to our room everything was great. The staff were all very polite and ready to help with any requests we had. There was even a signed card from the staff, a fruit bowl and bottled water for my wife's bday which was great! Thanks to Cherise and the entire staff for a great stay!
The hotel itself is showing its age some, I assume that Kimpton will be continually remolding and updating the rooms. My only real complaint was that the curtains do not fully close and let in a great deal of light. We were on the 5th floor facing 14th and the light from the streets flooded the room at night. We would certainly stay here again and would suggest it to friends as well. This was our first experience with Kimpton and we were impressed. I look forward to trying out some of their other properties in the future!
