Topaz Hotel - a Kimpton Hotel

Disappointing

Asked for a room with bike. A/C not working and had to be moved to another room with treadmill. A/C in that room quit during the night and they had to get engineering to evaluate it. Finally worked. Elevators were slow. But, the rooms were very spacious and the location was great.

Not a business hotel but a decent stay for infrequent travelers

The Topaz is not like most Kimpton hotels, of which I have been to several dozen. Though the room condition and cleanliness was satisfactory, the overall condition of the hotel was pretty drab. Furthermore, the sheets and towels were smelled strongly of bleach, which did not cover up the musty smell of the hallways and room. Overall, it is in a good location right outside Dupont. That said, there are many much more comfortable B&Bs in the area for around $100 a night.

Great Location needs work

The hotel is very conveniently located to the dupont circle area and downtown business district. The staff is courteous and the room was spacious. However, the wall paper in the room was torn, upholstery was worn and the bedding was showing it's age. There are numerous restaurants in the area to have dinner and the lobby bar was full both evenings. Not for those looking to tour the Mall or sightseeing in DC. Other hotels are closer to those areas.

Showing Its Age

The Topaz hotel was probably a very cool hotel in its day but it is definitely showing its age. I was really surprised being that it is a Kimpton and those are usually outstanding properties. The room was clean but not very comfortable.

pricey but clean

The Topaz is a very nice hotel but the prices at the bar and minibar were outrageous. One very nice thing was that they did not charge parking if you have a hybrid vehicle. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Overall a nice place to stay of you're not concerned with pinching pennies.

Lukewarm experience

Room was not what was expected based on the review provided. We were expecting something a little more modern in appearance. The room was not made up during the last day stayed in the hotel.
