We had a very nice stay at the Hotel Monaco. Our family stayed there for almost a week during our visit to DC. It's location is terrific; right across the street from the Portrait Gallery and the Spy Museum, and about 8 blocks from the White House. The rooms were a bit snug, but management has explained room sizes in... more

I was a bit worried from reading some negative reviews but I have to say I experienced nothing exceptionally negative during my stay. We were checked in early without prior notice and the room was clean, on the same floor as the front desk. The staff were friendly and helpful. We did not stay for the wine reception but the... more

This hotel had a number of drawbacks for me - first of all, I stayed here at the weekend and found that the area was not quite as buzzy as was described. As a previous reviewer commented, we found it difficult to find anywhere suitable for breakfast and ended up going to a Starbucks, which was not ideal. I also... more

I stay often at Kimpton hotels and, generally, they are great. We booked the Med. suite, which is one of the largest and most expensive in this hotel. We had requested a high floor but were booked onto the first floor even though we have frequent stay status. The hotel's location is the biggrest draw as well as its historic... more

My room was tiny -- as others have commented, there was no room for a couch or easy chair, just the bed, a desk and chair, and an armoire with the TV, minibar, etc. On the bright side, I was surprised to find a big jacuzzi in the bathroom, with a separate glass shower stall. Flat panel TV was also... more

I like this place. It feels more European than American in a slightly seedy but fun kind of way. The ceilings are high and arched and domed. The halls are wide and long. The decor is imaginative. The bed is comfortable. The huge outdoor courtyard bar is a lively place on a warm night. The staff is gracious. Metro and... more

Spent 3 nights at this hotel in March of 08. The location is excellent. It is a little far from the Alexandria Metro stop but the shuttle is ready and willing to take you there. We liked to walk the 10 short blocks because there is so much to see. Back to the hotel. The facilities were very nice and... more

Found a good online rate and booked two nights as a surprise for a loved one. Called twice before arriving to request "Guppy Love" goldfish pet for the weekend service, a large room on a higher level, and to see if they could have room service in the room when we got there as a surprise to this guest- they... more

I read good things about this hotel in a couple of travel guides so I checked the hotel's website daily waiting for the rates to drop to an acceptable level. With a little patience I was able to get a room with a king bed for $159 with a AAA discount. (I've read $149 is about as low as it... more
