Nice DC hotel in DuPont Circle

Wonderful service. Our stay was for five nights so we requested a microwave and they provided one for our longer stay. Later we requested a change in room as there was a noisy next door neighbor and they accommodated that request as well. Beds are a bit worn out and they were dipping on the top but I think they could fix that for future guests. Clean rooma and great location close to metro and all the main attractions.

Staff was friendly. Room was big although condition was disappointing. Mild funny smell in elevator and rooms. Bedroom door can’t be closed. Sink was not working but fixed after complaining. Sofa was broken. Room clean was weird too. There was a long blond hair on the bathroom table. Second day when we came back, we noticed dog food on our floor, and we absolutely didn’t have a dog. Pool was super cold, definitely not warmed nor playful for kids.

Don’t believe the picture or description

The pictures and descriptions of the rooms are not accurate. I booked a premium king suite 752 sq feet. Not even close. It was less than 450 and when I went down to ask for the correct room they were adamant I was incorrect.
