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.

Many better options around....

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.

Horrible stay

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!
The lighting was awful. It looked like they went to Wal-mart and purchased the lights. There was also no comfortable seating to sit and watch tv.
Bathroom was extremely hot

Secret Hidden Costs: Scammers: Check other reviews

Pricing is not transparent. $200 incidental deposit, as standard on check-in. As with all hotels told I would get the deposit back on check-out. This is no problem. 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

Quick stop in DC

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.
