"Good location but poor service!"
The Fairfax Hotel is nice and in a very good location. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. Minus is the room service. I tried breakfast in my room and got what I ordered but everything was cold and not nice at all. Also make a second try. Ordered dinner to my room and it actually it took three tries for the staff to get it right and it was only […] a salad and a glass of wine. After that I didn't dare try the restaurant. Another problem was the valid parking. I brought my car for three nights and during my stay took it out four times. never worked. Got the wrong car once and every time it took about 30 minutes to get it. Next time I'll stay at The Jefferson hotel , a family owned hotel where they really want to make you happy and comfortable. It is also really irritating to have to pay an extra $12.99 per 24 hours for wireless internet, but that seem to be the case with most hotels in DC. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Price and Style"
We had several issues wiith this hotel. Mostly with housekeeping issues. When we checked in I noticed that on the of the bed had dirt in the bed. They came right up and changed the sheets. The first night we had turndown service. The second night we had no turndown service and although all the towels were replacedt on the there was a pile of used towels […] left on the floor. The air comditioning was clicking on and off all night. Prettry hotel, pretty room what a shame. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Disappointment"
I was very disappointed with this hotel for a few reasons. The location is good, but the hotel itself is in need of a make-over and more importantly, greater attention to customer comfort and service. 1) no water in the room. The only option available was to order water from room service and pay service fee and tip. You've got to be joking. 2) the hair […] dryer in my room was DISGUSTING. It was covered with a thick film of sticky hair spray. What kind of hotel that brands itself as a luxury hotel doesn't train it's house keeping staff to look out for things that need to be replaced or cleaned? 3) no convenient places to hang my towels in the bathroom 4) small room 5) no complimentary wifi (which is becoming common - I travel a lot) 6) front desk staff who simply replied "I don't know" to my question about whether I could get to a destination by metro. I had to press her to look into it for me. She should have automatically and politely offered to look into it immediately. 7) no minibar 8) I was not sure whether my sheets were actually fresh 9) there was no "privacy please" sign I could use 10) there was only decaf coffee in my room. So you see, there is a lack of attention to detail in this hotel. Do not expect anything close to "luxury" level service. (hotel stay: 3/19 & 3/20, 2012) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Two disappointing nights"
Lovely hotel in a nice neighborhood, steps from Dupont Circle. However, I wouldn't recommmend it. Aside from minor irritants that shouldn't be the case in a 4+ star hotel (minibar isn't pre-stocked, charge for wireless internet): (1) The mattress was clearly well beyond its useful life--it sank half-way to the boxspring, and we couldn't sleep. The […] next morning, we were given the choice of two other rooms, the first of which had the same problem, the second of which was satisfactory. Until night 2 . . . (2) Our new room was two floors above the ballroom--and the party was so noisy that we couldn't fall asleep Although they wrote off the (exorbitant) valet parking charge, it didn't undo the discomfort of our two nights there..

"Nightmare"
I wanted to take my wife for a romantic evening away from the kids; however, I ended up feeling embarrassed by my selection of hotels. Let me start off by saying the room was clean and the staff were very nice. The closet where we hung or clothes was in need of repair. The paint was peeling on the top of the shelves. The walls were cracked and our undersized […] king size bed was broken. I will never go back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Disappointed"
I waited for one hour for a room that was not available at my check in time. I was then asked to wait for 20 more minutes in which i refused to wait any longer. I was assigned a room that was available and was placed in a room where the heating system was loud as if it was abut to "Blow", Further, the system was located near the head of the bed. How's […] that for a good night sleep? In addition, there were visible mouse traps. I requested another room, which was better than the previous room Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Interior is renovated, but building facility remains old"
We were satisfied with the service provided by hotel employees. But facility is fairly old, even though interior looks nice after recent renovation. We stayed at this hotel on a cold winter day. Heating at common area is fine, but not in individual rooms. It was really chilly in the morning. Initially, ac was on and set with 72 F. AC was incredible […] noisy, so I don’t think I can stay at this hotel during summer. We turned off AC, after we figured out it is not central heating and not providing warm air. Then, we have no heating in the room, which I never imagined at this level of hotel….In the morning, I heard a screaming voice from next room "I nead sweater!!!".

"Good rooms but bad customer service"
I loved my booking experience with Hotels.com but during arrival time, the lobby folks did not even offer to help with my luggage. Also I needed a cab to get to the airport and instead of calling it for me.. they gave me the cab number. Truly rude folks in the front desk. But .we loved our room and it was everything was as we expected. For a 4 star […] rated hotel.. I expected better customer service from the hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not what I expected"
There was a dirty cleaning rag in our room on the couch. The ligt was out at the entry. We did not get the rooms we had registered for. When we ate in the bar it took the watier over an hour just to take our order and it was wrong. This would have been understandable but there were two bartenders and two waiters for 20 people. One of the bartenders […] was more interested in flirting with a drunk woman at the bar. Just not the service I expect from a Starwood hotel with as many stars as this one has. Additionally the flirty bartender also tried to get a young group to eat in the restruant (rougly 4 times as expensive) than the bar. Just kind of gosch. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"poor customer service"
The hotel itself is lovely, clean and well appointed in a great location. However, when I asked for a sheet that showed that I had booked with expedia and paid to give to my company for reimbursement, I had a bad experience. The front office staff was gruff and short on the phone. They told me it was "illegal" for them to give me an itemized receipt […] for reimbursement. This experience was ridiculous, particularly for a business traveler. I will never stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"The Fairfax in Washington DC"
I wouldn't ever stay here again the staff was very unfriendly. Didn't have the room type we were promised and very unwilling to accomodate us.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Certainly Not the Best Hotel."
The rooms are too small and the parking very expensive. The hotel has a very small lobby area and lacks the appeal of other hotels of its kind. If you are meeting someone, there is no place in the lobby to sit. It is hotel short on amenities. The location is good if you are someone who works at the foreign embassies that surround the hotel. Rooms are […] very small and cramped. House keeping didn't replace used shampoos and conditioners. Choose another property and only choose this if nothing else is available.

Response by The Fairfax at Embassy Row, Starwood Luxury Collection It certainly does concern me to learn that you found your recent stay less than satisfactory. I do apologize that you did not care for our lobby, and can assure you that many of our guests enjoy meeting company or business associates in the comfort of our lounge, which provides a relaxing environment with ample space to unwind. Thank you for reaching out to us and I hope for the chance to welcome you back so that you may enjoy the exceptional stay that you deserve.

"仕事には不向きだがヴィクトリア様式の雰囲気を味わいたいなら良し"
部屋は広く、バスルームも広く、清潔でした。 しかしどうも「元高級ホテルでしたよ」的なこだわりが強すぎて、合理性に欠け、個人的な趣味には合いませんでした。（ホワイトハウスだのアメリカ史名所の絵が何点も飾ってある） ３Ｆでしたが窓の前には水道だか電気だかの大きな設備があってうるさく、 仕事も長時間したかったのですが、むかしながらのクラシックなデスクで身体もいたくなりました。インターネット接続やホテル内に何があるかの具体的な情報にも欠けて、あまり使いやすいと思いませんでした。 少し古くはなっていましたが、大使館通りにふさわしい、デュポンサークルにふさわしい家具やデザインなので、そういうのが好きな人はたまらないと思います。 キングベッドも快適でした。 レストランは気軽に入れるような雰囲気ではなく（Jocky's […] Club)という昔の高級会員制レストランみたいな感じ。朝食ルームサービスでパンケーキを頼んだけれど、高級店で出すようなものではなかったかも。ルームサービスはびっくりするくらい高価です。 デュポンサークルは食事する場所に事欠かないので、割り切ったほうがいいです。 スタバも１，２ブロック先ですし。 空気が居心地悪くて、個人的にはもう泊まれません。実質可も不可もないんですけどね。客層はさまざまでした。サービスも笑顔でした。ダレス空港までのシャトルバスも、コンシェルジェがスーパーシャトル（？）ではない、もっと時間のかからない割安なシャトルを提案してくれて、良かったです。 ホテル客室の案内には為替両替できるようなこと書いてあったけど、できなくてチェックアウト時に困りました。 Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
