HVAC needs attention

Most disappointing was the HVAC system. It was 62 degrees when I checked in and the thermostat would not work. Engineer came and said the switch from cool to heat was not funcioning. He "fix" it and it warmed up but it stopped functioning the next day with no air circulation. Very disappointing.

Beautiful Hotel

Very nice hotel. Recent renovation so everything appears brand new! Modern decor is beautiful. Right on Dupont Circle. Close to Metro. Two stops to many DC attractions. Perfect location. Great stay!

beautiful comfortable hotel room

Initial reaction when walking into the room was great. it looked clean comfortable mondern/trendy. Bathroom had little privacy but it was still cute. There was a little window in the shower which was the only ventelation. (room got very hot when someone was in the shower) But the overall service was excellent. Door men/bell boys all were a great help. best service ever.

great room, great location

smart floor plan. rooms are not large but are well laid out. exceptional bedding - outstanding pillows. good lighting. bathrooms have a clean modern look - cool shower.

Needs Improvement

hallways carpets needs to be cleaned. Elevators are smalls and too many people using them. No doors at bathroom so you can imagine that you hear all kind of noises coming out when someone is at WC. Great location (near Metro Station)and all kind of food services around.

super comfortable modern hotel

The modern design of the rooms is really nice. There's so much attention to detail and the way things fit together, it was really great to see. I hate hotels where the rooms look like grandma's country house with floral patterned sheets, cheap furniture and placeholder art on the walls. This hotel was such a pleasant surprise! Our room at The Dupont hotel sported earth colored grasscloth wallpaper, ultra modern frosted glass bathroom and super comfy beds. There was also an original Saarinen table, i even flipped it over to check it out expecting a knock-off. The wooden shutters on the windows were such a nice touch too. Overall, it felt like so much attention went into the interior design of the space that it felt very comfortable, warm and relaxing! Will definitely stay there again when visiting DC in the future.

Wonderful location

Friends and I stayed at this hotel around the time of the Cherry Blossom Festival. The hotel had just re-opened after months of renovation. The decor and fixtures in our room and the bathroom were very modern and new and the staff was friendly. However, our room was not cleaned on the last day of our stay. We would have said something to the front desk if this had happened earlier in our stay but we let it go since we were leaving the next day. The Dupont Circle location is fantastic. Very close to a subway station and lots of great restaurants nearby.

The bathroom

Location can't be beat for D.C. resturant going, shopping and bar hopping. Steps away from a huge farmers market. Aside from that, I know its been mentioned before, but one can't leave the Dupont without commenting on the bathrooms. Absolutely no privacy. And no bath rug for the shower...I found it strange. Beautiful, tendy, cool but strange.

If you like "modern"...

Stayed at this hotel when it was part of another chain and loved it. Traditional, comfortable, location great. It's under new owners who are 'modern.' This means that the above vanity bowl sink is in the bedroom, and there is no wood door between room and bath. It's frosted glass and is NOT sound proof. Let your imagination wander. Ewwww. Hope you know your room-mate well. No tub. Shower open to toilet area and small lip between - water, water everywhere. So, not our style but I'm sure someone will like it.

Exceeded expectations for location and price

Great location, good restaurant, fun bar. Rooms nicely designed although glass door to the bathroom could be inconvenient.
