We had a five nights stay and enjoyed the hotel and the surrounding areas of DuPont Circle. Location wise, this is excellent. 2 hour street parking is available but you will have to get up before 9 to move your car. Otherwise you pay the hotel $54 plus taxes per day. The bagel shop across from the hotel is most excellent.

I have no complaints about this hotel at all. I’m just sad I didn’t get to try the bar and restaurant that they have downstairs but I will next time! Every staff member was so friendly. From the gentleman at the door, to the front desk, everyone was so sweet and pleasant. Our room was very clean and we had a lot of space which I loved. I’ll definitely be coming back here when I visit DC.
