The Dupont Circle Hotel

A nice hotel, staff helpfull, well-located, good breakfast

Great location, beautiful rooms and excellent service. The staff was attentive and anxious to please. It's all nice and new and felt very luxurious for the price.

Elegant but not "fussy" architecture.....pleasing contemporary. Helpful welcoming arrival desk and staff. Nice perks. And great location.

Great location. Hotel had just opened so they were still working out kinks. The room was very nice and clean. Hotel staff was great. Food and drinks in the bar were really good.

Room design matters. And the Dupont Circle failed on this, at least for room 248. I had stayed at this property previously, a few years before, for a few days. That was a great experience. This was not. This time, the room was small, cramped, with poorly placed light switches, a bathroom door that opened oddly, a bathroom sink that was so shallow that water splashed onto the shelves behind the toilet (getting my gear all wet). And to make it even worse, the windows were covered with wooden shutters, when opened, looked immediately out onto an industrial flat roof. The hotel should not rent out 248. The hotel should also work on signage from its stairwell --dumped me into the staff area and hard to find a way out (and the staff hanging out there were not helpful.)
