Mediocre

Checkin was handled very well. Attendant was very courteous. Room was initially as advertised - spacious and well appointed. However later in the after a day waling and touring it became clear that this was an old hotel building with some very antiquated mechanical services. By far the worst was the air conditioner/ heater. It was extraordinarily loud and very abrupt in its frequent on-off cycling. In retrospect I should have immediately asked for another room. When I mentioned the loud a/c on checkout I was told "Yes we are going floor by floor to replace outmoded fixtures." New guests should clearly request an updated floor. The description clearly states that high-speed internet is available in the room. It is deceptive to read that and then we told the charge was $14.00/day. When communicating with a receptionist asking for my frequent flyer perk of free internet, I was frustrated with the rudeness and dismissiveness of the agent who begrudgingly gave me my upgrade. In all, a less than positive experience.

Great single night

I checked in in the evening, and left the next day (love the 1pm check out) so I didn't experience that much of the hotel, but the little I did was quite good. The staff were welcoming, the room was nice and the location is ideal, in between Georgetown and DuPont circle. Would stay again. But egad--$7 for the in-room Evian.

Amazing dc weekend

Amazing, staff, room and food! No joke. Best salmon I've ever eaten. Wonderfully trained staff. Well appointed updated room. Also, great location to stay in DC. Near Georgetown and easy to get to monuments. Can't wait to return! Only thing- a little chipped paint on bottom of bathroom door. However, this is truly an amazingly boutique - style hotel that I'd recommend to anyone wanting a very upscale hotel! The $150. Food credit was a great addition.

Classic and Sophisticated DC Hotel

This is the 3rd Fairmont Hotel stay for us. Our room was less lux than when we made rez directly through hotel. But even so, this is an outstanding property with lots of amenities. The lobby and sitting areas are gorgeous and generally quiet. It is not a 'family' hotel in the sense of little kids running around, but IS a family hotel in familiy events and reunions that are more sophisticated and classy. That is a good description generally for the hotel- classy. The rooms could be updated, but are generally comfortable and quiet. Our tiny balcony was a great way to get fresh air! Staff are friendly and accomodating.

Perfect weekend in DC

Our hotel stay was a pleasant experience. Easy street parking after 6:30 pm on Saturday until 7am on Monday. Walking distance to Georgetown with its nightlife and shopping. Very helpful and friendly staff. Overall is very good in terms of amenities and value. Would stay again and recommend to others.

weekend stay

The hotel is as would expect from a Fairmont - pretty, classy, great service. The rooms being nice, good size, clean with lovely lovely toiletries. Great location to Georgetown, 10-15 min walk. Only thing we were surprised about is the size of the hotel bar in the lobby - bar itself is very small and not much bar seating but comfortable couches abound in the lobby if this is more your thing. The inner courtyard is very cute with fairy lights adorning all the trees. We had a great stay though the hotel seemed quiet. Would recommend and come back.

I had read previous reviews stating that a good place for breakfast is 'Bread and Chocolate' - it is just around the corner and is wonderful and inexpensive. The second morning we went straight across the street from the hotel to the Blue Duck Tavern for Sunday brunch...amazing and elegant in a cool, modern way. I am coming back just to have dinner here. Definitely need reservations.

Business Trip -- I'd stay there again

The hotel was comfortable, and the rooms were spacious. I was disappointed that we didn't have an atrium view, but given the supreme discount, that's to be expected. The bell staff was friendly and helpful, and they even remembered our names. We were in walking distance of shopping and restaurants, too. I liked that there was a make-up mirror in the bathroom... essential when you want to look perfect for a meeting. The hair dryer was better than at many other hotels, and it wasn't bolted to the wall. The internet service was spotty on the Fairmont connection, but the Fairmont Gold connection was fine. I liked that there was wireless service. Some hotels use only ethernet connections on the desk, which means you can't work on your laptop in other parts of the room. I wish the weather had been better (it was winter... rainy and snowy) because we could have sat in the atrium and enjoyed the sunshine. We visited a colleague who stayed at the Hampton, and the accommodations were inferior, even though she paid the same price for her room. I'd say we got the winning bargain!

Go to Old Ebbitt's Grill near the White House. It's the place where all the power brokers meet. The crab cakes are wonderful, and so is the pumpkin ravioli. Save room for the large desserts.
