Stayed here for business while in D.C. for a few days. The room was clean, and the hotel facilities were nice. They had a small pool on the roof and a roof top bar. The hotel is close enough to everything, and the staff were very pleasant. Definetly recommend. More

The Kimpton Hotel was the wedding home-base for our family, and we cannot say enough good things about the property and it's excellent staff. Everyone from Darryl and Daisey at the front desk, to Chris at the restaurant, and the hotel assistant general manager took great care of us and made sure that all our needs were met. We took...

This hotel is prematurely run-down. I arrived from a late flight at midnight and had get switched to four different rooms before finding one that didn't smell like cigarette smoke and/or have stains all over the carpet. The manager was extremely apologetic. More

This property had just opened as a Kimpton when we stayed. Even so, the "new property" problems we experienced were minor and immediately corrected. We were on the third floor.

The room was a bit tired - carpeting was coming up in a few spots, the ceiling in the bathroom was peeling/cracked. The shower was a bit odd.... More

Well, this was my first Kimpton experience, and I sure hope that Donovan House is not their norm. I really was not impressed, and would caution you before you stay here. Donovan House is an old hotel that has recently been taken over by Kimpton, but there are still a lot of flaws. First, the location is mediocre, it's not... More

Quintessential Kimpton. Small, but funky, cool, and comfortable rooms. The Donovan has remarkable service. The front desk, room service - cool, polished, friendly. But get a load of this: the night manager took a personal interest in my call for sewing material to deal with a suit coat with a sudden lining problem. She took it on and sewed it... More

From the moment we arrived, our expectations were exceeded, especially by Darryl. Check-in was an efficient breeze, and arriving during the daily happy hour was a refreshing surprise. Darryl helped us sort out a room change quickly, and took care of making restaurant reservations nearby. The rooms were clean and kitschy...sort of a retro-modern that characterizes the Kimptons here in... More
