Kimpton Banneker Hotel by IHG

Well located. Close to DuPont and Logan Circles. The happy hour from 5 to 6 was refreshing from a long day of site seeing. Only negative is the restaurant. A bit pricey for breakfast (breakfast was not included with our reservation) and for dinner the food was mediocre.

My stay was excellent from the time I arrived to the time I left. Staff was amazing

The room was very clean, the front staff was very helpful. All amenities worked as they should have. Overall very happy with our stay.

The room and hotel were very clean the staff was extremely helpful food was really good outdoor seating was perfect all of attractions memorials museums etc are really close by would definitely stay here again

Breakfast was delicious & the staff were all so nice throughout. My only niggle was the fact that there is a fab seating area outside but the bar doesn’t open until 5pm which seems a pity as after coming back from a day exploring the city it would have been nice to relax with a drink in the sunshine.

Great stay, very accommodating staff . Rooms were a good size and very comfortable

beautiful hotel

Nice place

Breakfast was delicious

Excellent Hotel!

Lovely hotel and absolutely a wonderful stay! The staff was so courteous and pleasant and surprisingly enough the neighborhood is actually pretty quiet for it to be a metropolitan area! We stayed when it was the Kimpton Rouge as well, both stays equally as great! We love the Kimpton brand!!!

Great staff and clean modern hotel

The room was very large and comfortable; the restaurant (and breakfast) were outstanding; the staff as a whole was very friendly and helpful. The overall experience was very good.

Very good experien e

Great location!

Everyone there was very nice. Especially Tiffany.

Room was super clean and cozy, location fantastic, breakfast and dinner great :) I will 110% be returning! I felt super relaxed my whole stay. Definitely budget time for breakfast and dinner since they move at a chiller pace!

Exceptional

People were very unfriendly at the desk but not all of them

Lovely setting near DuPont Circle. Excellent restaurant, Le Sel, with outdoor eating in front of hotel. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Lobby is cozy. Rooms are spacious. Will stay here again.

Would be glad to come back.

Just okay! Expect better service from Kimpton

The entire staff was amazing and very accommodating. From management all the way down, everyone was very kind and helpful in every way.

Best hotel yet love it here will come again

Rooms not well designed tge doors had no privacy open at the bottom not all tge way upto the floor

Brunch was very good. Staff was good

The ada accessible shower was poorly set up. The shower head locations were in bad places for access in relation to the shower chair. As well the soap tray was in a bad place. Beds were comfortable, bedding not so much. Need to have fitted 100% cotton sheets, not microfiber. Overall a nice room with plenty of space.

Nice room. Excellent shower. Comfortable bed. Plenty of outlets. A pair of drink tickets for the bar on check in was nice. On arrival they seemed a bit understaffed in the lobby. Even after I was able to check in, the room wasn’t ready for about half an hour an hour past check in time. Not a huge problem, but checking in was a bit hectic.

Amazing room, location, staff, and restaurant. Mek at the bar for happy hour and dinner was terrific. Aaron served a delicious (free!) breakfast each morning at Le Sel. Everything about my stay was perfect. The hotel is centrally located, yet in a quiet area (that is also easy to get ride shares to/from). I’ll be back!

Absolutely superior hotel. Front desk staff amazing, clean well appointed rooms.

Staff was super helpful. Enjoyed the common areas and my room was clean and comfortable! The dining was a great experience.

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.

We live Kimpton and this is our new favorite. Everything was exceptional, starting with the staff who all could no have been more helpful and accommodating in every interaction. The hotel itself is gorgeous, and the restaurant - oh it was so delicious - special thanks to Helen our server! We were even able to enjoy a cocktail out front in from of the fire pit. Highly recommend!

This hotel is very nice, clean, and the room was large.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would be booking this hotel again.

Room service was quick and well done, in-house restaurant was also very good and the hotel offered a free drink and 15% off which was a nice surprise. My only complaint was the morning noise. My room was on the back of the hotel, top floor, and i was awakened both mornings with garbage trucks, beeping delivery trucks, and construction noise that echoed very loudly all the way up 10 floors. If you're a business traveler up early maybe a non issue but there was definitely no sleeping in.

The room is very spacious and clean. Breakfast is very big. Dinner is delicious though the service is a bit slow. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the noise from the parking lot side due to an ongoing construction. The bath room is huge, but the water pressure is not great. That being side, we will rebook again when we visit DC for its great location and spacious room.

Rooms were great - spacious and comfortable.

great stay, would come back!

Exceptional

Friendly, family atmosphere. Everybody was so kind and helpful and all the staff was greeting us as long-time friends from day 1. They were so sincere and engaged in conversations with us and all the other guests. One of the best hotels we stayed in, it is going to be on the top of our list for our next trip to WAS.

Excellent breakfast The only problem was the lighting in the bathroom. The lights in front of the mirror were too dim and it was difficult to shave, put make-up on etc.

Excellent property and close to everything

Great experience overall, when we brought our dog they gave him a treat as we came in and then we get into the room, it’s was very clean and nice, beds were comfortable, the staff called the room and asked if we needed dog bowls and a dog bed which was very courteous. We went out for the night and came back and got a great nights rest, we woke up and got breakfast expecting it to be a buffet but to our surprise it was a 5 star breakfast brought to us for free, it was absolutely delicious, if you go, get the eggs Benedict, it was amazing and the iced coffee is pretty good as well. Had an overall 5 star stay and will be coming back soon!!!

Super friendly staff; solid cafe in lobby.

The room I was in was a bit weird. the bed was in the middle of the room. and the lighting was very poor in the room mostly due to the way it was set up. I'd recommend they move the furniture around again cuz this was not working for them

Helpful staff, clean facility, internet intermittent

Great breakfast. Clean room. Great location.

Helpful staff. Nice restaurant. Good location.

Not amazing at this price that means poor

Shower pressure was great, sound machine was nice. Lighting in bathroom was horrible. No in room coffee maker was sad.

Easy and accessible location to my business meetings in central DC. Vouchers for the bar was a nice touch but missed having coffee facilities in my room and patchy supply of bottled water. I also didn’t understand the Amenity Charge of $34 per day. What was that for really?

Great location

Not bad, would come back at the price I did, but if it were more

Everything was great

Great location and staff Everything was great

I LOVED this hotel ! If I ever come back to DC I will definitely be coming back.

We stayed here as we had an embassy appointment across the street. It was super convenient and we ended up having a couple of meals here as well. Great food and atmosphere. All the staff were wonderful. Spacious room and super clean. Parked a vehicle here also with no issues. Will definitely stay again. Great neighborhood and hotel.

The room had no carpet, which made it feel extra clean, and everything was well maintained. It was also very quiet with great soundproofing, which made a big difference for a restful stay. The staff were outstanding; friendly, responsive, and efficient. The on-site restaurant exceeded expectations; our dinner was delicious, and the cocktails were well made. The waitstaff provided excellent service throughout. Valet service was smooth and quick, and we had no issues at all during our stay. Overall, I would rate everything about this hotel as excellent. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Front staff very helpful but electric keys de-magnetized often

We enjoyed our stay at the Kimpton Banneker. The room was big and everything was clean. The happy hour drinks were a nice surprise. The location was great. We took advantage of the free bicycles to ride down to the Monument. The only cons were that our room was not ready at check in time. We hoped to wait for our room to be available on the rooftop, but were disappointed to discover that it is not open to the public. The pictures on the hotel site and on Expedia show the beautiful rooftop but it is only open for private events.

The short: wonderful, boutique, hotel, terrific neighborhood, serene atmosphere in rooms

Great spot. Will return.

Very pleased with our stay at the Kimpton Banneker! Great location, walkable neighborhood & friendly staff. Has some really nice amenities…coffee in the lobby in the morning, complimentary happy hour on the pretty patio in the evening, & nice bikes to ride! The rooms are spacious, everything clean, no complaints!

Great location. Great staff and clean rooms.

On the website, it showed a rooftop patio, but when we arrived at the hotel, they said it was only for special parties. I was kind of disappointed with that. The room was very spacious. But the water pressure in the shower was a trickle. The staff were all very pleasant and accommodating.

Yes!

This property has no parking, only Valet parking is available and it’s $75 a day weather you park yourself or use valet.

Nice hotel near residential part of the city. Busy and fashionable part of the city is a couple blocks away. Quiet rooms facing the back. Just make sure to ask for coffee maker and ironing board as you check in.

The rooms are big and clean, the restaurant is excellent but the friendly staff is what takes the experience to the very top. You’re a short walk from either the White House or DuPont Circle. Five star service

Nice hotel

I have mixed reviews about the staff, while checking in everyone were awesome, I was greeted with a smile, I was given discount counts for the diner the Vallet was super nice. During checkout the employee was nor interested in looking at me, and he was a bit unfriendly. Which is a shame because the hotel is excellent and my stay overall was great.

Good hotel with good location

Food was delectable and staff service extremely amenable. Looking forward to future visits.

Breakfast portions are huge, and very tasty. All the staff we spoke to were very friendly & helpful. Beds were very comfy & we slept well. My only moan was we would have liked a coffee machine in the room, and fresh bottles of water. We could fill these in reception, and the coffee available in reception was only for a short time in the morning.

Amazing Staff! Clean place. Great location!

The hotel had a strange smell, the staff wasn’t really knowledgeable and the room was noisy. However the room was very modern and spacious

Overall clean comfortable room, staff were very friendly and hotel was very generous with amenities like breakfast included (can choose anything from the regular menu), nice restaurant, daily free happy hour in lobby, vouchers for food/drink. Hotel was in a nice area that’s walkable to many different neighbourhoods and attractions. The bathroom amenities could be nicer/better, lighting in the rooms can be improved upon. While the area was quiet, my room was overlooking the back of the hotel and the filling/emptying of garbage bins was loud at night and in the early hours of the morning. Parking is also quite expensive if you have a vehicle

Amazing location clean unique room staff was extremely polite I would definitely stay here again

The staff was extremely welcoming and courteous and the food and drinks at Le sel were amazing. The only complaint I have is the room we were given had obviously not been occupied or cleaned in quite some time as there was visibly dust on the table in front of the couch, the desk/counter behind the bed and on the top of the toilet. I ended up cleaning up upon arrival. I would’ve asked to move but I had to quickly change for an event I was attending

Staff was very friendly, was a little bit of a hike to the metro but not too bad, very comfortable room with good storage and a nice clean bathroom. Comfortable bed as well.

Great location. Spacious room. Front desk staff was rude. Room was not routinely cleaned, even when asked for it, room service was unavailable on multiple days.

From the second, we pulled up to the property there was somebody waiting to park our vehicle after we checked in. They even offered to help with our luggage. The staff leader at night was very welcoming and cheerful, and this is unusual to walk into a hotel and find somebody Very chipper. The area where you check-in was very clean and had a very nice lemon lime water, waiting for anybody who needed to quench their thirst. The room was very meat and all amenities were easy to get if needed. I was just very impressed with the staff at this particular Washington DC hotel. Food in the restaurant Was very good. I had the escargot and the mushrooms. They give you drink coupons and a coupon for a percentage off of meals upon check-in, which was unexpected. I will definitely stay again.

Room could have had two night stands . Only One made my visit a bit uncomfortable while sitting up watching tv with no where to sit my drink, phone, etc. Microwave in room would have made my stay more pleasant.

Breakfast was fine both days. All employees were courteous and friendly. I can’t think of anything

I didn’t like anything. Disappointed

Visiting from out of town. Staff @ bar/restaurant were friendly & very informative about the area & transportation for our visit.

I love the accommodation of staff, the engineering staff was unavailable to fix the tv and streaming equipment in my room so I was discounted the amenity fees and I thought that was very commendable. The facilities such as the gym could either be expanded upon or versatile in the equipment chosen, also be specific in describing the coupon and voucher requirements. Last but not least, proper updates to equipment so guest can enjoy the amenities

The room was spacious. It was awkward at the restaurant when we wanted to enjoy beverages outside. We had three different people wait on us and we weren't sure who to tip or to order from.

Room was nice, first one was cold, second was good, no hot water in faucet. Still a cute place but do ask for a room not facing the street.

It was nice and relaxing stay. Over all our waitress in the restaurant was very pleasant and the person who checked us in was nice. We had complimentary drinks that were good, we enjoyed them. The mini fridge was not as cold as I was expecting to store my milk, there was a light sconce that didn’t work in our room. The toothbrush my husband requested was very cheap, the bristles fell off and he couldn’t brush his teeth with them. I booked a stay with my husband and kids with complimentary breakfast, my 7 year old was not included in the complimentary breakfast. I also booked my stay with a 12pm checkout but was told I had to check out by 11am.

This hotel pleasantly surprised me in the most wonderful way—I’m absolutely delighted. I chose it for our family vacation mainly because of its location, but it exceeded my expectations in every way. What I loved most is that it’s a small hotel, which I truly appreciated. The rooms are very spacious; I stayed in a double room and was genuinely impressed by how large it was and by the beautiful view. The cleanliness is impeccable. The service was outstanding, especially from the ladies at the front desk. Everything is within walking distance along a lovely promenade. I would definitely stay here again every time.

Had to move rooms because of how noisy it was the first night. We barely slept. The room itself was below average, with limited lighting and furniture. The staff was great and switched rooms for us and even gave us a noise sleep machine. Nice perk: happy hour and free bike rentals. However, we wouldn’t stay here again.

Room almost has no soundproofing. Light sleepers be aware. You can literally count how many ambulances passing by the hotel through the night.

This hotel provided a lovely, pristine, big room, a very comfortable bed with great linens and pillows, and a wonderful location for my trip to DC. The staff were especially wonderful, especially the staff person who greeted me in the evening when I checked in after 10pm because my flight was delayed. I really commend all the staff for their excellent service and attentiveness.

The room was spacious, modern, and beautifully designed, offering a perfect mix of comfort and style. As a guest, I especially enjoyed the Happy Hour from 5–6 p.m., which included two complimentary cocktails and discounts on dining — such a nice touch that made the evening even more enjoyable. Honestly, I wish I could’ve stayed longer — it was such a relaxing and well-thought-out experience. I’ll definitely be back!

We received VIP complimentary cocktails at check in but when we tried to use them we were told they were only good for a glass of wine. We wanted simple gin and tonics and our server rolled her eyes and said we couldn’t use the voucher for that so we paid for our drinks and snacks. Later, looking closer the voucher clearly states for up to $17 each. Just a crummy way to be treated. And we paid more than we should have.

room was not ready and so i was offered a lower tier room that smelled really bad. I left and then was offered the correct room but was told i may be kicked out the next night and that the room i paid for was not available for the 2 nights i booked. The room amenities boxes were present but empty?? for a "luxury" hotel this was far from luxury

The room was comfortable and spacious. The staff was solicitous.

Wonderful stay and welcome drinks were a cool bonus! Room was beautiful and peaceful. Staff was polite and accommodating.

Only issue is that the hotel is on a very noisy highway.

This was my first stay at a Kimpton and it will be my last. No coffee service in the guest room is a deal breaker and they should be honest about the lack of this amenity upon booking. Coffee Service in the lobby beginning at 6:30am is just not good enough. I am up earlier than this and want it in my room. Plenty of other hotels to choose from - I just wish I had known.

Great

Clean room, traffic noise as expected facing the street. Friendly doormen and front desk staff. Very clean room.

Room decor was modern & eclectic. Unique &Fun. Comfortable beds & pillows. Spacious quiet room. Great shower. Blackout shades. Very nice stay. Our Waitress st breakfast was wonderful. No fan in bathroom & no hotel happenings info provided - there was a yoga mat in our room but no info on their yoga class I read about somewhere. In the rooms they should have printed hotel info & happenings. Instead they just tell you to look up their website.

It was very clean. Refreshing water in the lobby. Great aesthetic.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay. No complaints. I will book at this property in the future.

The shower was exceptionally poor pressure… for my room and a friends room. This issue does greatly effect an otherwise great stay,

Wonderful complimentary drinks.

This hotel ticks all the boxes. Great location, good level of accommodation and service. A good array of breakfast options to suit all. Good value for money.

Convenient to where I had meetings. Walkable. Quiet. Large room. 24 hr gym.

Very nice hotel, seems like it was recently renovated. The street side is a bit loud early in the morning due to traffic noise but nothing ear plugs won’t fix. Shame rooftop bar closed during the stay but downstairs bar is quite nice also, esp the outside area. Staff were friendly and helpful. Amazing location and great value for money. Our two queen beds bedroom was very spacious to accommodate the three of us. Will be back.

Clean room , was cool that they had daily a complimentary cocktail hour. Unfortunately, when we arrived , we inquired upon the VIP access benefit and the free room upgrade availability. The young gentleman who checked us in cut me off mid question to instruct me to “place the card in the keypad “. I was silent as I was in disbelief that I was cut off mid question. My wife then stated if it’s possible if I can finish my question for the gentlemen. When I started to ask he then said again “put the card in the keypad “. He also did not explain the 400 dollar hold and used an overall condescending tone. The interaction left us feeling like we were not welcome at the bannaker, and it did not feel hospitable unfortunately

Drilling and property work my entire stay. Also they advertise a rooftop but it’s not open for guests.

I had a great experience staying here. The staff was kind and the hotel was very well kept. The location was also great and very walkable.

Easy location to get around, clean, spacious rooms.

I'm not giving it a 5 because we booked this place for its rooftop, but it's closed all weekend. If we'd known, we'd have gone elsewhere. Still, the hotel is nice.

Beautiful room, very nice staff

Everything was nice and clean

I loved my stay here. The front desk and door staff couldn’t be nicer- and they have round the clock shifts so they are always available to help. The room was clean, bed comfy, the pillows were PERFECT, and the free coffee bar in the morning was a godsend. I also used the fitness room which was really nice- small but well equipped and with nice natural light and mirrors. I was on the top floor facing the backside of the building instead of “city view” or frontside, and I actually preferred this. It was quiet and still had really nice views. They give you free drink passes and dinner discount passes too. I only used the drink passes (for house wine or a small house cocktail) but the restaurant looked good. I’ll try it next time. :) The hotel is in a gorgeous and safe neighborhood, two blocks from a Whole Foods and CVS, and also two blocks to 14th Street which has literally hundreds of restaurants and shops. Highly recommend the Banneker! Thanks for a lovely stay.

The location is ideal for visiting DC

Was a bit disappointed that we couldn't acces the Rooftop bar - we had looked forward to that Coffee and tea would have been nice throughout the day All in all a good stay Very comfortable beds and a super nice bathroom Might be back for our next trip to Washington DC Sincerely Mrs Nelson

I like feet

This hotel was amazing. It was very clean and smelled amazing, throughout. The location was perfect for walking to great restaurants and sites. It was also very close to the Metro station. I highly recommend!

Highly recommended!

Staff was 100/10... Amazing service!

Nice rm & bed. Extremely noisy from outside, hard to sleep. Bathroom way too dim. Shower pressure way too low. No coffee in room, no iron in room unless you ask. Wait staff gets distracted easily. Cannot access rooftop bar which was only reason we chose this hotel. Will not stay there at our next visit.

Wonderful staff

Everything is perfect and fit to our stay Need a place to reheat your food, there’s no place to accommodate for left overs

Nice hotel. Cool decor good location. Good serve. Only complaint is our room faced the back alley and people accessing the garbage bins were loud after 10pm at night and again at 6:30am.

Great staff. Great room.

Staff at the front desk was incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to accommodate us. However, our room on the street side was incredibly noisy even in the middle of the night. In all honestly it was a good 3-star hotel but a mediocre 4-star hotel which is what they claim to be.

Specifically Cassandra, she was very knowledgeable and helpful as she assisted me with both checking in and checking out. I started and finished my vacation with peace of mind knowing I was in good hands. Would definitely stay again!

I wanted a boutique hotel and this one was always on my radar. I loved the property.

Such a nice hotel and our room was super cute and spacious which we loved. Would stay here again!

This is exactly a superior hotel. Room and f

Good for price .

Nice area

The room is very spacious and clean. The staffs are very friendly.

Wonderful stay

Ice machine didnt work on my floor.

Amazing hotel. Wonderful and helpful staff!

It was a nice property. My biggest complaint is our room was right on the street and it was extremely loud both nights.

The hotel is situated in a very nice location. The staff were exceptionally helpful. Upon arrival the concierge made sure we had all offers from hotel. Your coffee is an excellent choice

Nice little hotel. Staff was friendly. Great location. The coffee and wine hour were very nice!

What a surprising find in DC. I book based on price and stick to the usual suspects but the prices were right and the photos/reviews looked great. We checked in at 12:30am and even though the valet was off duty, had no problem finding on street parking very close by. There was an issue with overbooking but Cassandra made it right by us and then some. The decor and vibes are impeccable and I was happy to have a location that wasn’t on a super busy road. My kids got to stay in a nicer hotel room than they were used to so that’s a problem for me in the future but I’ll definitely be looking at Kimpton Banneker next time we’re in DC.

The staff was very helpful. The location was clean for a small hotel. It is very good for a small hotel.

However, construction going on made it more noisy.

The size of our room was larger than usual and there was a yoga mat provided which was very helpful for me to stretch my legs out every morning after walking 16K miles. The location encourages you to walk to most places like White House, etc. stuff were nice.

We stayed at the Kimpton for 4 nights during a family trip with our 8 year old to D.C. The hotel was clean, staff very friendly and the room was very large and great for a group. The room was not small with a large countertop, extra mirror and closet space and plenty of floor room to lay out all of our suitcases and not feel cramped in the room. Bathroom was very nice as well. We used the valet for 1 night which was expensive but as expected and quick service. The only downside was I had wished it was closer to a metro stop in the heat we visited during in July we ended up taking a lot more ubers than I planned due to walking distances but in cooler weather the walks would have been more enjoyable. Would stay here again if I'm back in D.C.

Beautiful property as pictured on website. Very clean and modern. Loved the infused lemon water water in the lobby everyday. Always smelled so fresh and clean Wished guests had access to rooftop deck

Big thank you to Ms. Shantel at the front desk! Definitely made my stay memorable.

Location Too noisy from street side. You cannot sleep starting from 5-30am when traffic starts. Also it was a truck loading the goods at 5-00 am on 18th of august near the hotel entrance with working engine. It was awful.

The hotel staff were wonderful, the neighborhood is lovely and we had easy access to walking or taking public transportation everywhere we wanted to go to see the key sights in Washington. Great restaurant options 10 minutes away. Loved it.

Really clean and cute spaces around the hotel. The staff were lovely and helpful when needed. Our room was spacious and our dog had a great stay too!

The construction going on was terrible. It began at 8am and continued throughout the day. This should have been specified when making the hotel reservation.

Chanel was excellent! We had a great stay and will definitely will come back in a couple of weeks!

Nothing special, there were no amenities. I received a bed in a room, not worth the money.

The location of the Hotel was good, the staff were friendly, the room was always clean and the amenities were nice. We took breakfast in the restaurant and the food was delicious. Nothing to complain.

Customer service was great including the valet. Very clean room. The 10th floor has an Awesome view.

cheap bedding

Need more ice machines and have them be more accessible

Perfect location walking distance to everything in downtown , room was nice beds as well, staff is so polite ? Highly recommend

Nice place good location. Th e street traffic was semi bothersome.

Only stayed for a night for an event but the staff were extremely friendly and the rooms were amazing for the price! I highly recommend

Nice size, updated and very clean rooms. The sheets and bed were extremely comfortable.

.

All ths staff was kind and nice, the shower was horrible all the water was in the bathroom and outside in the room too, after taking a shower.That was my only complain , we stayr in the 401.

Great hotel

Nice bed, very clean and great upgrade

Lovely property and great staff

Nice hotel in a great area! Great bikes and brekkies. However, very slow elevators, loud noises and alarms at night, and mixed-bag staff ~

Nice hotel with many dining options within walking distance (10-15 min). As the hotel valet parking is pretty expensive, we chose to park at Virginia and used Uber as our daily transportation. Worked perfect, no more trouble looking for expensive parkings in DC. One small issue was the water pressure was low.

Hotel was close to dining and had its own restaurant. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

The location was great, but the room esthetics were poor. Room was very dark with poor lighting and the pillows were poor. The lobby had zero thrills. We did dine at Le Sel for breakfast and the food taste was good, but service was slow because they seemed underhanded. Really a no frills hotel in the end. I'd give it a 2-3 stars only.

We have always wanted to stay at a Kimpton hotel. The pictures looked amazing. What we walked into was nothing like the photos. The room was very hot even with the 2 fans we brought. I upgraded our room to city view. We saw a parking lot. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. This was a once in a lifetime trip to DC and we hated going back to the hotel because it was going to be hot, humid and smelled. The valet pulled our car up and they hit my rims on the curb. Just an awful experience. Do yourself a favor and keep looking!

However, on check-out told there is a $25 'amenity charge per day," as standard and not optional. So a secret charge after prepaying for my room. Room was not serviced despite me asking for it to be on my way out at 1pm. The guy the front desk even called housekeeping in front of me. He said it would be taken care of. When I got back the room was exactly as I left it. No service. Room was specious and comfortable. However, due to the lack of transparency in the pricing with the hidden extra costs, I will not stay at IHG hotels again.

Nice hotel. They have complimentary wine hour every day if that’s your thing. They also give you vouchers for a free drink and discounts on the restaurant that’s inside the hotel so thats a plus. Room was generally clean but the beds were only So-so

We loved this hotel, very modern, easy valet parking option, great room with mini fridge, lots of space for the 3 of us. Nice touch with the welcome drink voucher and coffee in the morning. If we are returning to DC would book again.

🙂

Great stay, great location, friendly knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Cute restaurant!

We enjoyed our stay, the city traffic very was loud and our fridge didn’t work, even after I told the front desk. Overall we had a great trip in the city. It’s in a great location if you want to do tourist DC stuff.

It felt like bait and switch: there were things we expected from the website that never materialised, or were deceptive: no pool, no roof garden was not available to guests, lousy desk service, unreasonable and uncooperative parking rates, unreasonable and unexpected”amenities taxes.” Rude, snarky desk service. dishonest Free “ drink” voucher system. Limited, “unlimited” drinks. The “powerful” shower head was limp at best. Every employee expected a tip for doing nothing at all. Impossible to determine who worked in the lobby, since no one seemed to do anything or acknowledged the guests, The “food” vouchers were useless, shall I go on? I think you get the picture. We’ve stayed here many times before. But something changed. What’s up with that? We’ll find another, favorite dc hotel.

Very clean room and great design. My stay was super comfortable and the staff were great.

The stay was amazing,location was great also.

The staff is friendly!

Good hotel with good location

The only complaint, which I don't know if you can do anything about, was very low water pressure. I would highly recommend this hotel to my friends and associates.

Excellent location and affordable. Street noise was bad, one bedside lacked a lamp, elevators frequently full.

First, the staff were lovely, pleasant and professional. The hotel is centrally located. We had a room with a seating area dn the TV was in a strange place on the wall. There were only two towels in the bathroom. No problem when I called housekeeping for more, but we were there for two days, and the second day housekeeping only made the bed and took the dirty towels. No sweeping or vacuum, no taking dirty coffee cups. I had to call to ask for more towels. Not worth the $$ we spent.

Great hotel. I’m keen on having a clean room and this was that. All the corners of the room/ hard to get places were all clean. Liked the cold complimentary water in the lobby for refilling my bottle. Rooms have great sound proof, never heard my neighbors or hallway people. Location of the hotel is okay, it’s close the the D6X and D60 metro buses but most of the time you’ll have to do some extra walking to get to other destinations/ bus stops. Also not close to metro entrances.

Roaches, no wash clothes in the room. When do asked wash clothes I had to go and get them myself because they never brought them to the room.

Sadly the should have better parking. I’m car got damaged.

I was expecting a little more personality for our marriage relationship the way we communicate the way we go about the hotel based on staying at other Kimpton properties, they are really fun trauma and have special different decor. The room is super basic and locked amenities. In my opinion for an example no water bottles in the room no mini bar Nothing out of the ordinary no snacks and about tea. Tell you expect those amenities.

Wonderful stay. Very convenient location and the staff went above and beyond to assist us with anything! Comfortable beds and good water pressure :)

The rooftop is closed. Excellent customer service! Love the complimentary drink with stay as well as social hour which also includes complimentary wine. The rooms are spacious but old. Low lighting in the bathroom. No complimentary coffee in hotel room.

Comfortable firm bed. Good valet parking. Could hear road noise along front of hotel. Outdoor dining

Lovely stay, nice room, nice staff, great location for my needs

Friendly efficient service

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel & staff were really nice and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfy. It was clearly renovated and updated with a cool vibe. La Colombe coffee was offered in the lobby each morning which was wonderful. We were also offered drink tickets for our use in the bar/restaurant which was a nice bonus. Great location too.

Amazing customer service!!

Really comfortable

Staff were nice and the food was good. Only complaint being nothing the Hotel can control and that is the sound outside. But if you ignore all that it’s a great place to stay. Walking Distance from all the DC sites you would want to visit.

Front desk could be more nicer at least. Could put some trash cans in the building, I couldn’t even find one trash can.

Great location, spacious room

Absolutely loved the location❤️

Great location, about a twenty minute walk to the White House. The room was quite large and had a very sizeable work area which was highly useful.

great location, easy to get in and around the sites. great staff good food.

Very nice and a good location for easy transportation or walking downtown. Staff was friendly and the hotel is well maintained.

Centrally located and beautiful property.

Overall the property is clean, no frills, etc. However, the on-property roof top bar is not open to guests as advertised in the booking. Instead, it’s available to rent for events. Service at this location is sub-par. The first night I stayed, my room was not serviced and I had to ask for staff to service the room.
