"A Little Slice of History"
We were welcomed very warmly and any need that we expressed was well taken care of. The hotel was lovely, has rich history of it's own that we enjoyed hearing about and was very clean. We loved being near some of the beautiful foreign embassies and had no trouble with travel in the city.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"One of my favorite hotels"
This was our 3rd stay at The Fairfax. I don't usually have favorite hotels, but this is one. It's very elegant and has a wonderful location. I look forward to staying there many more times in the future.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location, great service, great value"
We spent two nights at the Fairfax with an infant. The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the amenities were lovely. We would consider ourselves lucky to have to opportunity to stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"excellent location, wonderful staff"
We enjoyed our stay at the Fairfax on Embassy Row very much. We had excellent service, with a quiet room. The concierge, Peter, was extremely helpful and suggested the Museum next door. A great suggestion. The Anderson Museum was a highlight of our trip.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Fairfax Hotel - Great Stay"
Hotel was located in a good neighborhood with plenty of restaraunts near by. Staff was very courteous and helpful with recommendations. The room was not large but comfortable and clean. The A/C kicking on and off during the night was a little noisy but not enough to keep us awake. There's a metro stop close by but we used taxis as it was just as cheap […] for four of us. It's about a 5 minute drive to the landmarks on the mall. I'd stay here again without hesitation. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nice hotel, good location, friendly personnel"
Nice hotel, good location, clean room, friendly personnel, so overall we are vey satisfied ;-) But I was a litle bit disapointed that we had to pay 35-40 dollar for 3 days with wireless internet, and that was for one unit. We have two i-pads and one I-phone, but used only one of them...Genuine Hotels.com 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
We had a wonderful stay at The Fairfax. The staff was very helpful and most welcoming. Our room was beautiful with plenty of room for our family of 5. Our only negative was the price of the breakfast buffet- a bit pricey for teens who didn't eat too much. I would highly recommend staying here!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Elegance with helpful staff"
Very nice hotel on "Embassy Row". The staff was very helpful and nice, although we felt a little out of our element being middle-class midwesterners in an upscale hotel. The online site said there is public parking, but we didn't find any. There was street parking, but all were full and many were restricted as to what times you could park there. The […] parking garages seemed to be all restricted as well. Although we had to circle the hotel block 3 times to find the little entry way to the hotel courtyard, so it could just be that we didn't see the public parking garage. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance (anything from Subway, to pizza, to nicer restaurants). The toursity sites were farther away, but we walked to them anyway (around 2 miles to The Mall). Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Personable Service and Great Location"
The Fairfax at Embassy Row is a combination of excellent staff and great location. Located just off of Dupont Circle, it is walkable to a number of quality restaurants and overall sight seeing. The hotel staff were attentive, super helpful and friendly. The only downside is that our room was a bit cramped. The bathroom, though, was nice size and well […] appointed. However, we weren't there to spend a lot of time in our room, so it being a bit small in size was not a major factor. We were pleased with the overall cleaniless of the hotel and the accomodating, friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Fairfax at Embassy Row"
We stayed in the Grand Deluxe 2 Queens room. The room was very clean and plenty of space for my 5 and 3 yrs old to move around. Only down side was the mini bar. Not that I feel the minibar is a good value but my daughters had the munchies in the middle of the night and to their disappointment it was completely empty. I went down to the hotel lobby hopeing […] for a vending machine but there were none. I was told the closest store was CVS about 3 blocks away from the hotel. As any father would do for his kids, I ventured out to CVS and brought some snacks to ease my kids hunger pang. Overall the experience was very pleasant. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

The valet parking at $47.00 per night is very expensive. Otherwise, a great hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nice Place...Parking a bit expensive"
Nice place, very elegant. Our requirements was for a clean place to sleep while visiting Wash DC all day w/our two small children so our need was met. Only negative thing was the cost of valet parking - almost fifty dollars just a bit higher than we expected but not outrageousGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Well located well priced but old"
Our room faced the inner court yard. All day and night there was the screech of what seemed to be unlubricated equipment. Unpleasant. HVAC system was old and not very responsive. Hotel in great location but there are other options close byGenuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was exquisite and very comfortable and the hotel staff was superb, all so freindly and helpful. We will stay here again when we return to Washington DC.

"Fairfax at Embassy Row"
An excellent hotel at a reasonable price . Nice neighborhood , within walking distance of DuPont Circle and lot's of great restaurants. Easy access to metro. Our only complaint was the cost of parking ... a whopping $43 per night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Local Tourist"
Live only 20 miles south, but wanted to be a tourist in an A-grade hotel in the Dupont Circle area due to the great restaurants in this upscale area of DC. The Fairfax at Embassy Row was ideal, a tribute to the Starwood Luxury Collection. The accommodations and service were superb. One gripe: the bar did not have the wines in stock listed on the menu […] and did not stock a premium gin, so I had to go with a third choice. Not good for a hotel of this stature. But...I'd return to this hotel! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"A Great Choice in DC"
My husband and I had a great stay at the Fairfax at Embassy Row - our room was comfortable and clean, it's a great location for Dupont Circle area restaurants, Sunday Farmer's Market, and Metro stop, and a 15-20 minute walk to the Mall and White House. This is a visitor-friendly, well-maintained hotel in a great location that can be a good choice for […] families or for business trips. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"We loved it and our dog did too!"
We were meeting our daughter in DC, us from NC and her from NYC, to deliver her English Bull Terrier (65 lbs.). This hotel accepted dogs, but we had to ask special okay for one this size. They agreed and Augie took over the place like he owned it.....and they loved him right back. Absolutely great staff from the front desk and concierge to the parking […] attendants and cleaning staff. Everyone there made sure we were well taken care of. We took Augie out several times and the staff always were friendly, going out of their way to make sure we had no dog-related problems. Walking around Dupont Circle was great for just the scenery and buildings, but the restaurants were equally awesome. We plan to stay again. Special thanks to Judy, the Concierge who arranged a great Mother's Day Brunch. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fairfax Hotel Embassy Row"
Lovely old world elegance hotel in prime location. Rooms are large and very luxurious; 1000+ count bed linens; super soft an plush towels. Only negative to me was trying to maintain the room temp. Fan is very loud and kept waking me up each time it came on (I am a very sound sleeper) then to turn off the room became very stuffy. The staff are first […] rate and treat you as if you had been coming there for years, you say your name one time and everyone knows it after that. Impressive. Will absolutely stay here again.

"Great hotel in DC, great neighborhood!"
Not the cheapest of hotels, but fantastic facility, beautiful rooms, great location, super-friendly staff. If you're a light sleeper, the old walls are a little thin, however we had 2 adults and 2 kids in 2 queen beds and the room was perfect. Highly recommended!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
