“Don't stay here . . .”
or else I might not be able to book this hotel next time. It was great! Kudos to the staff, the 5:00 pm champagne and wine happy hour, and the overall style of this place. It was just fun to be there. To be completely fair, only ONE criticism - wifi was spotty in my room. That aside, this place deserves my strong review.
“Great Experience”
Our stay was wonderful! The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was impeccable, comfortable, and chiq. We loved that we were able to order an all organic breakfast and the food at the restaurant was delish! I can't wait to stay there again. :)
“Hidden gem.”
Great neighborhood hotel in the Dupont Circle region. Breakfast and Happy Hour are great attractions. Breakfast off the menu is quickly and expertly prepared. Short walk to Dupont Circle. A bit longer but very doable walk to the National Mall (subject to weather). Will head back on my next trip to D.C.
“A Perfect Little Hotel”
It was just lovely!
“fantastix”
very central, friendly staff and nice big rooms
“Just what I wanted”
Found this hotel through Expedia. was really impressed by the decor and size of the room. hotel staff was extremely efficient and pleasant. Hotel was within walking distance of all the sights we wanted to see.
“Hope to stay there again!”
Very friendly staff and a fun atmosphere!
“wonderfull place to stay”
same as above, just a great place to stay. (real fun) We did have a proble with our first room. There was a noise in the wall at night which kind of drove us crazy. We let the front desk know and they said they would check it out. When we got back from our day out they said they would move us to a suite for the rest of our stay. They moved our luggage while we were out for the evening. They were very graceious. I highly recommend this hotel.
“Yeah, Baby!”
Funky, little hotel. Very retro. Friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable beds and rooms. Felt like I was in an old episode of "Laugh In" or that I might see Austin Powers roaming the lounge. Not your typical hotel. Very unique and although they were really busy, their service was quite good.
“Funky and fun with plenty of extras.”
The juice, glass of wine and extras are great. This is a fun hotel with great sense of fun.
