Amazing hotel

Great boutique hotel. Wonderful staff and location right off Dupont Circle (5 min to metro stop).

Close to Metro/Good Restaurants

Greatly enjoyed stay at Hote Madera. Several good restaurants relatively nearby. Close to Metro at DuPont Circle.

Feels like coming home!

Was greeted by the staff each and every time I arrived. The manager knew my name and went out of her way to be helpful. Would come back here in a heartbeat. Maybe I shouldn't brag so much, just in case they are full when I want to visit. LOL

Fabulous hotel in great neighborhood.

It's just a couple of blocks from the Metro. The staff was very courteous and friendly. Service was remarkable. It was helpful that they printed our return boarding passes for our flight. Milk and Cookies every night!

Simply fabulous

A friend had recommended staying at a Kimpton Hotel while in DC. Despite traveling a lot, I had never heard of Kimpton Hotels. The Hotel Madera ended up being the one with the best price in the best location. Overall, I was extremely pleased with my 7-night stay. The room was comfortable and well-appointed. The bed was delightful. The maid service was great. True, the toilet/shower area was tiny, but my bathroom at home is also small, so it didn't bother me too much. I loved the afternoon ice cream treats, afternoon wine hour, and Oreos and milk after dinner. Kimpton gets it -- it costs very little for them to make these customer-service gestures, yet the payoff is HUGE in making guests happy. I also loved the location of the hotel. DuPont Circle is a great area, and we were able to find a number of delicious places to eat. The Metro is also a very short walk. Great job, Kimpton. I will go out of my way to stay at your hotels in the future!

Outstanding Hotel

I spent 11 nights at the Hotel Madera; 5 days business and 6 days as a tourist. I found the hotel online and based my decision to stay there on recommendations of various sites and based on cost. It exceeded all of my expectations. When I checked in I was on the 4th floor facing the back, overlooking a trash container. I asked to be moved to a higher room with a nicer view, especially since I was staying 11 nights. The manager walked me to my room, saw the view, and I was given a new room the following morning. The rooms are large. Many reviews complained that the bathroom was too small, and it is smaller than many hotels I've stayed at, but the amount of time I stayed in the bathroom made this a non-issue. So ignore those comments. The room had wireless Internet access and I had no problem connecting. The hotel is within two blocks of the Metro, and there is an excellent coffee shop (one of my first priorities) within 1/2 block of the Metro. There are several coffee shops in the area. Dupont Circle (the park & fountain) is also within two blocks and was very entertaining; street musicians every night and I never saw the same one twice. I am a walker, and easily walked to the White House from the hotel, as well as the National Archives, the Capitol, the monuments, and even Arlington Cemetery! The convention center where my conference was held was easily accessible using the Metro. The area was safe and there is a 24 hour CVS open if you need to make a trip for ice cream in the middle of the night, as well as a Ben & Jerry's, again w/in 2 blocks. I did not meet one staff person, from the manager to the housekeeper to the waiter who was not friendly and patient, answering my many questions. I ate at the restaurant in the hotel one night and the food was excellent, but expensive. Most nights I stopped at various take-outs and brought the food to my room. There are excellent and unique restaurants that provide take-out and I never had a bad meal. The hotel was full (I w

Simple delightful

I was greeted by a friendly representative at the door. The colors in the room were wonderful and everything was clean. The only problem was with the restaurant. When I walked in I was not greeted nor was I immediately assisted even thought there was not a line. After I was seated I waited 10 minutes before I was greeted by my server. Other than the restaurant incident my stay was very pleasant.

Very accomodating staff and fantastic restaurant!

Really enjoyed our stay. All the staff at the hotel and restaurant went above and beyond to be helpful and provide an enjoyable experience for us. Good location. Everything we were looking for in a small, boutique hotel. However, the bathroom was very tight.

Great Hotel and Very Friendly Staff

This a great boutique hotel in a great area of Washington, DC. Lots of great nearby restaurants and convenient to Metro. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Fantastic!

The Hotel Madera far exceeded my expectations. It was close to the Metro and an easy walk to great restaurants as well as tourist sites. The room was huge and clean although the bathroom was very tiny in proportion. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.

Going Beyond

The staff really went beyond expecxtations to arrange a dinner on the balcony. They were quite attentive to every need.

Comfortable hotel in a great neighborhood.

Get a room with a balcony - very spacious. We really enjoyed the free internet and wine hour.
