    Mid-rises and mansions grace the leafy streets of Dupont Circle, where independent cafes and shops thrive. With a number of gay bars and businesses, this area is DC’s main gay neighborhood. Foreign flags fly high on Embassy Row, the stretch of Massachusetts Avenue from the Circle to the National Zoo and National Cathedral. At night, locals head north to Adams Morgan for drinks and live music.

    Great hotel. Unbelievable service and staff. Only negative is the room was "way" too hot at night. Temperature in the room would not go below 69 degrees -- no air circulation at all. There is no chair in the standard room to relax at night -- it's either the writing chair or the bed -- tough on a business traveler staying a week.

    Check in representative unable to find my reservation booked through Expedia, but took my information and copies of my expedia receipts and gave me a room upgrade. Room was not ready upon arrival, so we were escorted to bar area for complimentary drink. Luggage in our room when we were taken up less than 30 minutes later. Excellent location, bathroom […] with extra large soaking tub and glass enclosed walk-in shower was spectacular. Bar gets quite busy on weekend evenings with local people. Live piano music was great. Able to get light meal or appetizer in bar area. Olives and hand seasoned mixed nuts are complimentary in bar area. Did not try hotel restaurant, but seemed to be busy most evenings. Metro is about 3 blocks away, safe location day and night. Taxi service prompt when needed. Always greeted upon arival back to the hotel. Worth the price to be treated this exceptional and to be surrounded by such history as the Jefferson displays. Read more

    The Jefferson Hotel is unassuming from the outside but from the second you walk in the door, you are treated like royalty. The service is excellent, the rooms impeccable and the amenities are unparallel. My only complaint was that there was no TV in any of their bar areas, which forced me to walk 8 blocks to the closest bar to watch the playoff game. […] They did, however, have private lounge areas with TVs available for private viewing, which was a gorgeous option, but not the atmosphere I was looking for with a football game.

    I stayed in a suite, and the bedroom and bathroom were great, but the living room area was terrible. The sofa felt like you were sitting on a pile of bricks and the TV was shoved in the corner making it hard to view. Not a good set-up for a business traveller who wants a comfortable set-up. The overall feel of the hotel was old and gothic. Not worth […] the money. Insane prices for room service. Read more

    The room was well appointed and quite comfortable. However, there was blackmold in the shower -- I don't believe there was an exhaust fan--the shower is large and roomy with good pressure and a great shower head. The goodies for the shower were quite nice and I truly enjoyed the little office pack. It was wonderful to come home from a long day at the […] conference to a well lit room witha botte of water and fruit snack--great bed turn down. I would like to see the hotel be a little more green. They promote their water filtration and processing--which was great ,however , towels do not need to be replaced twice a day--by the by--towels were rich and full. Lighting in the afternoon can be tempered-not all the lights need to be turned on. A couple of slip ups with service requests--asked for a pot of hot water for tea and it never appeared. (no coffee maker in room). Also, requested a spa time-told call back would be immediate--I needed to call again an hour later after no call had been returned. Otherwise, polite, helpful and friendly.

    I enjoyed staying at the renovated Jefferson Hotel (vastly improved over my previous pre-renovation stay 4 years ago). I was pleased to be offered an upgrade in my room on arrival, and compliment all the staff on their faultless service. The hotel is 4 blocks from the White House and ideal for both a business and (high end) tourist stay. If I have a […] criticism it is that the rooms are small by American (but not European) standards and the public areas are also a little cramped - although very stylish. I will definitely be back....
