Missed having coffee in the room--the toilet and tub were in a very small area--added on to the dressing area (Room 202) when you stepped out of the shower, you had to be careful not to step into the toilet. There was no tourist information in the lobby, you had to wait in line to ask staff, but they were more than accommodating. Otherwise, the room was very clean, the the staff was very professional-----it was a busy weekend in D.C. and we were lucky to get a hotel. Thank you.

Disappointing
Not a 4 star hotel in my estimation. The hotel is very small, old and basically tries to put a veneer of "chic" or trendyness over those flaws, its small room size and generally cramped spaces which also lack any workout facility of any kind. On the plus side, the location is very good and the staff is very accomodating. Finally, the overnight partking charges are exorbidant; I spent less to rent an SUV for the weekend than I did to park for two nights at the hotel. I've been to a number of Kimpton Hotels throughout the country and this is the worst.

For the rate, this was a steal. The rooms were large and comfortable and well appointed. It was quiet. The restaurant was excellent, and the front desk staff was helpful, attentive, and courteous. Really a very nice experience.

Convenient location but not quiet
Room was large, clean, and comfortable. Bathroom was very small. Staff was friendly and helpful. However, the hotel elevator was very noisy every time It went up or down. We requested another room but were told this was heard in every room. It vibrated throughout the hotel.

Great New Year's Stay
My husband and I had a great visit to The Madera in DC. The location is close to many restaurants and a couple Metro stops. The Phillips Gallery is close by. Our room was on the 8th floor and had beautiful views. A large window provided lots of natural light. The bed was comfy. The room was clean. I had plenty of space to practice yoga. The staff was friendly and helpful. This was our second stay, and we will return. Parking was a challenge, however. It cost close to $100 with taxes to park for just two nights. This was through the hotel. I was not aware of the parking costs when I booked the hotel. I would have appreciated more straight forward information on the website about parking.

Excellent value
Our daughter was in the hospital and we were looking for a nice reasonable place in walking distance and Kimpton hotels all have a botique feel with great stafss and good value and the Madera was perfect.. The room we chose was spacious. What you don't get is a gym a lobby or fast elevators, what you do get is an at home feel with a great staff

Great location
So close to metro, great bars, and restaurants. They also host an hour long wine hour for guests in the evening - it was a nice way to unwind after traveling. Highly recommend.
