Damascus Vacation Packages

Very well maintained property and friendly staff. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area

Parking detached from the actual hotel. Location setting is excellent and close to many shops and local

The staff was so helpful and great but the beds and pillows were so uncomfortable. The pillows especially were awful and we changed them too. Still bad. Won’t stay there again because we both slept so badly.

Nice and quiet. Small rooms and much older hotel, but some rooms may be bigger if you pay more I’m not sure. It does show some signs of aging but that didn’t bother me at all. The breakfast good quality and all I need. All the options were fairly healthy although they ran out of boiled eggs quick every morning! Free coffee always ready whenever, love that. They also did a free wine hour from 6-7p, which was just nice to have offered. Staff were professional and personable. I probably won’t stay anywhere else in DC due to my recent experience with them. Not worth having a bad experience somewhere else when I know this place is exactly what I want.

Just a note to Expedia bookers, you will probably end up on a low floor without the same amenities as other guests. We were put above the underground garage so the room shook when the door went up and down. The front window was right near street level by the front door. We noticed other rooms had a Nespresso set up as we were leaving, but we didn’t. Room service was a bit hectic with trying to order (the kitchen was hard to reach) but the delivery person was super nice. I tried to use the texting feature to request items from the desk (e.g., more hangars) and never heard back, while I do at other Kimpton hotels. Hotel keys didn’t work the first couple times I tried to use them, so I kept having to return to the desk. The hotel also makes it look like there is a rooftop that guests can access, and that is currently untrue. It seems like there was once a bar that is now closed and it is used entirely as an event space. Some pluses were free drink tickets to the downstairs bar and discounted coupons if you dine in the hotel restaurant for 15% off. There is also free water in the lobby. There is a steamer and make up mirror in the room, which is also super convenient. All in all, I think I’ll book through IHG with Kimpton in the future. The hotel itself was comfortable but was missing some things that would have made it stand out.
