Washington hotellit Dupont Circle

Plussat: Very upscale looking hotel

Miinukset: The A/C was on blast. Too cold in the common public areas. Like arctic cold. Uncomfortable. Also the lighting in the room was totally insufficient. Very dim and dark. Opening the windows didn't help because we were in a room on the inside part of the hotel which faced the other wall of the building.

Plussat: The hotel staff was very cordial. Very busy and active bar in the hotel. Breakfast from the hotel restaurant was good. The room was clean and very modern. Beds were very comfortable.

Miinukset: Access to the closet was limited due to the proximity of the bed to the closet doors - couldn't open the doors enough.

Plussat: The neighborhood had a little of everything for you whithin short walk distance. Was nice to have the calm of the neighborhood but close enough to get into the hustle of the downtown area.

Miinukset: The housekeeping staff spent more times in the hall on their phones texting and talking. We left our rooms around 10a and when we returned around 4:30 Our room had not yet been cleaned. Before we left for dinner we called and asked that our room be refreshed and housekeeping said they would be right up. They never came. I did say something to the front desk at check out - her response was "oh, that's not supppsed to happen that way. Now, I did get an email from management apologizing, but stating that he discussed with housekeeping and they blamed us for having the do not disturb on. We had made sure it was Not on (double checked) before we left for dinner. The staff was very friendly - just REALLY distracted with their phones.

Plussat: Nice decor and amenities, good restaurant and bar, friendly , responsive staff , great location

Plussat: All the staff were incredibly helpful and courteous!

Plussat: The only thing I can really say is that the location of this hotel room is right in the middle of everything.An the shower was great

Miinukset: Where do I start, first off the rooms don't match the picture online. The staff there is very rude. The only way I was able to get any help from them was to ask to speak to the manager. The beds there look like something from 1980's . There is no door on the bathroom so if you want to us the bathroom if you have family,friends with you you have to use the lobby bathroom. The parking fee for this place is way to high your best to drive 2 blocks down an park your own car for $15.00 instead of paying the hotel room $55.20.

Plussat: Hotel staff were always attentive and helpful.

Plussat: The ideal location in Dupont Circle Washington D.C. over-shadowed some of the quirks in the room configuration. Very nice bar & restaurant in the lobby.

Miinukset: Not much room to hang clothes or unpack clothes. The lighting in the room and bathroom could have been brighter. The TV could have been on an extension arm or situated in the center of the room. The door-less shower stall was a bit messy.

Plussat: On my way to the hotel I received a call from the staff of the hotel who informed me my room was upgraded to a suite. This room was FANTASTIC -- great amenities, plenty of space, clean, and a terrific view of Dupont Circle and the National Cathedral that's a mile away. The best hotel experience in DC by far.

Plussat: Great location. Staff very attentive.

Miinukset: The bathroom doors do not go to the ceiling. Saloon style doors. A little awkward for privacy.

Plussat: Solid hotel for professionals and tourists. Perfect location and excellent service.

Miinukset: The bar prices are high, as in most hotels.

Plussat: Clean rooms and great staff.

Miinukset: The bathroom privacy was not ideal given we were in a two queen bed room with our teenage daughter.

Plussat: The hotel is in a quaint area with a beautiful view from the room. I’ve stayed in other areas while traveling for business, and this felt like a retreat when I came back from work. Also, the valet team was exceptional and not something I usually point out during a day. Very kind and made sure my car was warm before getting in during the inclement weather.

Miinukset: The mattress was a little too firm.

Plussat: Effortless, compact and clean. The windows open!

Miinukset: The decor is a bit tooooooooo deco. The restaurant felt a bit dismal.

Plussat: Art in the lobby was DC-centric and kind of cool

Miinukset: kitchenette room is not worth the money, plus the coffee maker had stale nasty water in it!

Plussat: close to the capitol, and to resteraunts

Plussat: Loved it... Got a free room upgrade.... I would stay there again the next time I'm in DC

Plussat: From the convenient location to the comfortable bed, we absolutely loved this hotel. We were able to bring our dog and found out when we got there that there’s an awesome dog park only 1 block away! This will be the only place we stay in DC.

Miinukset: They were able to hold our luggage for us after check out, but it took a long time for them to find it (20+ mins). They eventually had my husband just go back into the storage room and point out which ones were ours.

Plussat: Loved the style and the service. We just missed wine hour so they gave us a couple of beers instead. Room was great. Very comfy.

Miinukset: Rooms were a bit small but not an issue at all!

Plussat: The staff were extremely friendly and professional. That's all it takes for me! Thank you! Outside of that, our room was comfortable, roomie and had several windows...(corner room is always a treat.) We were able to open the windows to enjoy the gorgeous weather and the hotel was in a quiet neighborhood. Extremely comfortable bed with crisp, clean linens. Convenient order form to have breakfast delivered next day or availiable for pick-up is so easy. Just hang on the doorknob sometime before 2AM. Thank you, Kimpton Carlyle Hotel Dupont Circle!

Plussat: Location in theDuPont Circle neighborhood was nice. Free on street parking over the weekend.

Miinukset: We changed booking date but were told that only room available was "city view" for a higher rate. We agreed. Room did NOT have city view. Staff could not have cared less when we mentioned this because we "booked through third party." Ice must be ordered through the desk or room service and ... no coffee in room. Who wants to walk to the lobby to the [messy] complimentary coffee bar first thing in the morning? ("Complimentary" coffee urn was empty on day two.)

Plussat: they were so kind to us and our dogs-- super helpful!

Plussat: Location, staff and room amenities were fantastic

Miinukset: The temperature in the room was very warm, could not cool the room down. Also, the hallways had a mouldy smell

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: I called and tried to change my reservation with kayak which they told me I had to contact hotel directly. Contacting the hotel directly they told me I couldn't change the reservation. Furthermore, they gave me a small room with one double. When I came down and pointed it out they wouldn't change it. I then pulled up my documentation and they reluctantly agreed giving me massive attitude. I used to use Kayak all the time. Will never use the service again. Would have cancelled out of whole reservation except my business partners all we're at the hotel and had similar problems

Plussat: Lots of character - good old building, new renovation. Large rooms, boutique feel. Incredibly friendly staff! Super quiet. Good location if you need to be at DuPont Circle. Lobby still under construction - hence the low price.

Miinukset: Beds are double, not queen, and while comfortable, way too small for two people.

Plussat: The location and comfort.

Miinukset: The hotel had wi fi problems and did not communicate this fact. At the check in I was given the incorrect wi fi address. it could have been corrected. Also, I have stayed at the Churchill multiple times. Someone on the staff could have said hello. Finally, the printer in the lobby did not work.

Plussat: Great staff, location, and neighborhood. Incredible value!

Miinukset: Beds were a bit small, but it was a double room. Bathroom sink area had a very tiny walkway.

Plussat: Art, shower

Miinukset: Free coffee in lobby needed!

Plussat: Have stayed here frequently for conferences and vacations. It is an older hotel which is constantly updated. But the rooms are not cookie cutter. Some have wonderful nooks and crannies and walkin closets. There is valet parking. The staff are ver accommodating and friendly. Location is fabulous. Not far from a metro station. Restaurant and bar in the hotel.

Plussat: Loved everything about the Churchill, everyone was so nice and helpful and the hotel is beautiful.

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: Hotel with a true character, great location, and wonderful rooms. Staff was very helpful and dedicated to make you feel welcome.

Miinukset: Parking requires using valet services at extra cost but that must be expected in Washington and the central location of the hotel.

Plussat: Staff was so helpful when it came to working with my complex traveling needs.

Plussat: I enjoyed the large bed in the room, the friendly and curtious staff, and the proximity to local restaurants convenience stores and medium length walk to the National Mall.

Miinukset: I wish our rooms wifi would have worked more consistently. I would have liked a free breakfast with this stay. I thought the room service items were way too expensive, otherwise I may have utilized this feature. I wish the hotel had a pool.

Plussat: Got no parking and they charge 46 $ for car over night To much

Plussat: I was VERY pleasantly surprised by my accommodations at the Churchill. Staff was very friendly and the room (upgraded to a suite) was very spacious!

Plussat: It reminds me of France, has the most comfortable beds, and offers a free wine hour every day!

Plussat: I have stayed at The Normandy 5 times and every stay is better than the last one. What keeps me coming back is the excellent customer service exhibited by their staff. They are always friendly and personable and remember your face and preferences on future stays. The Normandy is a small, cute, and quaint hotel located in Embassy row, about a 10 minute walk from the lovely and lively Dupont Circle. It's a wonderful area with many restaurants and things to do.

Plussat: This place was so cute. Stayed here on an extended vacation after a business trip. My boyfriend met me out here and it was such a cute little hotel. Rooms are a little smaller but if you get the delux you should be fine. Staff was A++++, very friendly, there is even a complimentary wine hour! Would stay again!

Miinukset: Wish there was a bathtub but the bathroom was very chic so I didn't mind.

Plussat: Comfy and cozy room with a spacious shower. The room was clean and the staff was friendly.

Miinukset: Parking is an issue as it is scarce and only for two hours. You WILL be ticketed if you park longer. If you are not a DC resident, brush up on your parking rules for the city!

Plussat: Overall, a wonderful hotel. Nice thick walls so that noise doesn't travel. The shower was big enough for 2 people. A nice breakfast ($12. pp) which saved us from having to go out.

Miinukset: Parking wasn't included and street parking was only for 2 hours until the evening.

Plussat: Nice room, staff was excellent. I will definitely return.

Plussat: I enjoyed the complementary coffee and water in the room. The lobby area was comfortable and they had complementary wine and cheese by the fire place from 5-6pm. These were great amenities.

Miinukset: The espresso machine worked but was a little inconsistent.

Plussat: I loved the staff - great restaurant suggestions and very knowledgeable about the area. Also off the street outdoor tables and happy hour were a nice touch.

Miinukset: The room we were in was a little warn, although it was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside!

Plussat: Very convenient hotel, clean room, nice shower

Miinukset: Air conditioner worked well but didn’t turn off automatically

Plussat: Hotel stay was wonderful everything is pretty close to the hotel and everyone is very nice.

Plussat: The nicest staff. Great location. The rooms were charming and clean.

Plussat: -Free wifi -pet friendly -location -bathrooms -directv

Miinukset: -breakfast overpriced -small rooms -mattresses ok

Plussat: I loved this little hotel. <$100 a night and right in the middle of embassy row. Easy walk to markets, attractions, coffee, anything. This is an older hotel, which I prefer, and look for when booking. The staff was lovely and accommodating in every way, beds were comfy, hot water was plenty, noon check-out and good coffee with continental breakfast. That's my criteria

Miinukset: Parking can be a nightmare, but that's true of all of DC lol. Also, I read reviews of people griping about the breakfast choices...but it IS a "continental" breakfast, not a "full" breakfast...I feel like I should defend this, lol. (I was more than pleased with my multi-grain bagel and OJ)

Plussat: A very cheap hotel. Great for the money.

Plussat: Location was good, room was clean, everything just fine especially for the price

Plussat: location is convenient, near embassies. staff are nice. breakfast is acceptable, coffee and hot water is for the entire day. The price, comparing with others in the region, worth it.

Miinukset: first two nights i was distributed to a no-window room, so you can imagine the air and depression. And the last also the third night, i luckily lived in a fifth-floor room, which is much more comfortable. However, kids to the next door did everything except for stop, so you know the sound insulation.
