“Loud!! Very Loud”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013 via mobile

Hotel was very nice, location was fantastic. The only problem is...DO NOT expect to sleep or sleep in. We were on te 3rd level facing the street, had I read a review like this before we went-I would have asked for a higher floor. Yelling from the bar below last until about 2am with the additional honking of cabs all night. Shutter blinds te a nice touch be do not keep out the light or the noise. Construction or bulk pick up for trash starts at 7am. Originally planned to stay 3 night-could only do 2 bc I was so tired. Other than this, it's a beautiful hotel with great beds, nice baths and very clean. I would stay again-but I would request a room at a higher level and away from the street

“Reservation flounder, small room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013 via mobile

Reservation was for two doubles, but we got one king and a roll way. They did buy us breakfast. Well appointed rooms, free wifi. Right in the heart of DuPont Cirle. Reasonable. I would one back but I would clarify the room requirements up front. Probably due in part to experience and a full hotel.

“Comfortable Hotel and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013 via mobile

comfortable clean hotel with good service. All outside shopping & dining facilities are close. Dining & bar in hotel are excellent in food drink atmosphere and service. Rooms are small but well appointed. Staff is helpful courteous and not intrusive.
Window shutters fail to exclude light adequately. Lightproof curtains should be provided.

“Hip Hotel in a Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

When I lived in DC, DuPont Circle was one of my favorite spots to go out. This hotel is perfectly located for somebody who wants easy access to "Downtown" DC, but still wants to be in the middle of good dining and entertainment options. It's also very well appointed and has a nice modern design. The bathrooms do have a glass door, so be warned of that if you aren't too, ahem, comfortable with your roommate. I also enjoyed the electronic "Do Not Disturb" function - saves on paper and can't be dismantled by anybody other than you!

The staff was very friendly and check-in was a breeze. Each time I approached the desk, they courteously offered to help me get a cab or directions to my next stop, which was appreciated.

My only piece of criticism - and it's a fairly small one - is that my minibar was not stocked. Normally not a concern, but I had dinner (and several drinks) on the flight in, dropped my bags and immediately met a friend out for more drinks. Needless to say, by the time I got back to the room I needed a snack. Room service ends at 10:30 and the mini bar was barren...in the end, it's for the best because I woke up with no regret of late night munchies, but some crackers may have staved off a hangover.

“Best Hotel Experience in 18 months!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

Simply put, as a frequent business traveler (average 180 overnights a year) staying in 4-5 Star properties, this one took my breath away! From the time I drove up and my interactions with Valet to check in at the front desk, the staff was extraordinary and service oriented. Then when I go in the room OMG it was awesome! My first time staying at this property, and a bowl of fruit awaited me that I could actually eat...it was FRESH, a welcome note from the GM, and the ultimate sleek modern room with creature comforts that we're understated but right on point. The frosted bathroom and shower doors, and ultra mordern sink, and HEATED bathroom floors! What?????? I am telling you, I did not want to leave. The restaurant staff were just as attentive as everyone else on property, and the Onion Soup was to die for!!! Even bumped into a family friend in the lobby area ( who was staying at another hotel blocks away, but having a brief meeting at the The DuPont Circle Hotel..looking for quality service and high end accommodations...Ritz Carlton watch out!!! I have already canceled an upcoming stay in April from the RC even though the room type I want is not available...I will trade the space this time for an awesome experience!

Room Tip: 2 minutes from DuPont circle metro line...never had it so good! Park across the street. Gym is sma...
