The room was fantastic, I had a great view and the restaurant was phenomenal. Best cassoulet I’ve ever had! My only problem was the parking situation. It was convenient that they had parking, but it was a lot more expensive than I was told. I was told it would be $55 a night, so I was expecting a $165 bill. After tax and fees the total was $281, so I felt like that number was disingenuous. Plus add tips for valet, so I spent $321 for three days. I haven’t done the research to know if that’s a good price for the area, but I didn’t like that they weren’t up front about that and I got a surprise on my credit card after I left.

The hotel is nice, but it only has two elevators and no service elevator. Waiting on the elevator because it’s full was annoying. The rooftop is only available for events, maybe I missed that when booking. :-( The staff was very pleasant.

"...while upstairs, rooftop event space Lady Bird THE Roof Top\'s disarming indoor/outdoor perch encourages spontaneous connections under the stars while offering unfettered views of the landmarks that make the city so iconic." Gee, sounds great, doesn\'t it? Wish I could have been up there at some point during my stay. It isn\'t accessible unless staff lets you go there, and the hotel had rented it out 2 out of the 3 days I was there. Very deceptive advertising. Stay somewhere else where you can actually use the roof if that is at all important to you. So much for my kid getting a rooftop view of DC... which is a big piece of why we picked the property and why I gave 2 stars on the Property Condition rating. The rest of the property is fine but is not the Kimpton of old days - it used to feel special to stay in the Kimpton hotels. It doesn\'t anymore. It is just like another hotel these days.

Great hotel. I’m keen on having a clean room and this was that. All the corners of the room/ hard to get places were all clean. Liked the cold complimentary water in the lobby for refilling my bottle. Rooms have great sound proof, never heard my neighbors or hallway people. Location of the hotel is okay, it’s close the the D6X and D60 metro buses but most of the time you’ll have to do some extra walking to get to other destinations/ bus stops. Also not close to metro entrances.

Overall the property is clean, no frills, etc. However, the on-property roof top bar is not open to guests as advertised in the booking. Instead, it’s available to rent for events. Service at this location is sub-par. The first night I stayed, my room was not serviced and I had to ask for staff to service the room.

This was a beautiful building, filled with mediocre staff. When I arrived at 11 PM, I arrived to a room that had a failed refrigerator. I also didn’t have a working phone in the room with which to call the front desk. The food I traveled with was ruined, and my medicine hit room temperature. Not great. When I brought it to the attention of staff, they offered to let me use their refrigerator, but they did NOT repair the one in my room. I then had a booklet fall behind the air conditioning unit in the room. I asked the front desk staff to send maintenance up to fish it out. They did not. The only trash can in the room was in the bathroom, which is not great for a family of four. I would have liked one in the room itself. The shower was dirty. Here is the thing- the hotel was nice. I liked the bedding, and the big, easy to notice stuff was well done, but the details were lacking, and the staff was glad to say yes to your face, and then not do what they were asked to do. I was billed a $25 a day service fee, and for that price, I would have expected to receive some actual service from the staff.

Great hotel, great room... great everything... except room cleanly which occurred at just after 9 in the morning. Despite being informed we would Leanne the room for breakfast in just a few minutes they never returned to clean the room and make the beds. That, for this particular stay, ruined the stay.

Nice hotel with many dining options within walking distance (10-15 min). As the hotel valet parking is pretty expensive, we chose to park at Virginia and used Uber as our daily transportation. Worked perfect, no more trouble looking for expensive parkings in DC. One small issue was the water pressure was low.

The beds were very comfortable. Our room fronted on 16th street and even on 9th floor the traffic noise was noticeable.

Large counter/desk was great space for our makeshift food prep area (breakfast) but mini fridge is small and there was no microwave.

First, the staff were lovely, pleasant and professional. The hotel is centrally located. We had a room with a seating area dn the TV was in a strange place on the wall. There were only two towels in the bathroom. No problem when I called housekeeping for more, but we were there for two days, and the second day housekeeping only made the bed and took the dirty towels. No sweeping or vacuum, no taking dirty coffee cups. I had to call to ask for more towels. Not worth the $$ we spent.

I chose this hotel for its great location, spacious rooms, and 4-star rating — and while some expectations were met, the overall experience was disappointing. Check-in was delayed despite a confirmed Expedia reservation, and we were given rooms on different floors, contrary to what was promised. Throughout our four-day stay, we faced repeated issues: calls for basic amenities like tea bags and paper cups, used towels not being replaced, and long waits for any service. The ice machine on the 8th floor didn’t work, and we were never offered the complimentary wine coupons or restaurant discount. The rooftop restaurant, a big draw for us, was closed to guests and only open for private events. When asked, the front desk said it stays closed due to liability concerns — so why advertise it as a feature? The staff was kind and wanted to help, but clearly constrained. Overall, the series of small but persistent issues left a bad taste, and we’ll be booking elsewhere next time.

I booked this hotel for team members attending a conference. Upon their arrival, one of the team members called to inform me that the front desk staff had notified them that the AC was not working. Given the circumstances, they were offered a full refund if they chose not to stay. Since it was the middle of summer and uncomfortably hot, we decided to cancel. The team member was assured that the hotel would handle the cancellation. Weeks later, while reconciling our corporate card, I noticed that no refund had been issued. I contacted the hotel to clarify the situation but was redirected to Expedia. While discussing future bookings was irrelevant at that moment, I did reach out to Expedia. Their representative was helpful but informed me they had no record of the cancellation. After contacting the hotel, I was shocked to hear that the hotel denied any issues with their AC system during the dates of the stay and refused the refund. I understand that Expedia’s options are limited, but I am deeply disappointed by the hotel’s handling of this situation. I trust my team members, and as one of them remarked, "I would certainly not call our director just to make up a story and move from a 4-star to a 3-star hotel." To further validate our experience, I found reviews from other guests who also reported AC issues and poor service from hotel staff around the same time. While the hotel itself appeared beautiful, I cannot rate it on anything other than the poor service.

It felt like bait and switch: there were things we expected from the website that never materialised, or were deceptive: no pool, no roof garden was not available to guests, lousy desk service, unreasonable and uncooperative parking rates, unreasonable and unexpected”amenities taxes.” Rude, snarky desk service. dishonest Free “ drink” voucher system. Limited, “unlimited” drinks. The “powerful” shower head was limp at best. Every employee expected a tip for doing nothing at all. Impossible to determine who worked in the lobby, since no one seemed to do anything or acknowledged the guests, The “food” vouchers were useless, shall I go on? I think you get the picture. We’ve stayed here many times before. But something changed. What’s up with that? We’ll find another, favorite dc hotel.

We stayed at the Kimpton for 4 nights during a family trip with our 8 year old to D.C. The hotel was clean, staff very friendly and the room was very large and great for a group. The room was not small with a large countertop, extra mirror and closet space and plenty of floor room to lay out all of our suitcases and not feel cramped in the room. Bathroom was very nice as well. We used the valet for 1 night which was expensive but as expected and quick service. The only downside was I had wished it was closer to a metro stop in the heat we visited during in July we ended up taking a lot more ubers than I planned due to walking distances but in cooler weather the walks would have been more enjoyable. Would stay here again if I'm back in D.C.
