If you are looking for a relaxing getaway where you can rest and unwind, the Canopy Room is for you! The Victorian decor and private bathroom with a clawfoot tub set the mood for a less modern era within blocks of the Metro, Dupont Circle, numerous restaurants, and conference centers.
The hotel is easy to find. Checking in and out was straightforward. Travelers will climb one narrow but sturdy set of stairs to get to the Canopy Room. The stairs have carpet. The hallways and rooms were clean. I was there during sunshine and rain and there were no musty odors! The bath linens were fresh, clean, and thick. The bed was also fresh and clean. It was very comfortable and the sheets were soft. I usually need an extra blanket when I travel but I was quite comfortable here and did not need the one available in the corner of the room. All the outlets and lamps worked. I enjoyed using the desk but never turned on the television - too many other things to do! I used the mini fridge but not the microwave. I ate my breakfast in the highback chair while gazing out the window and it felt a little surreal as I could easily picture horsedrawn carriages in the streets. There was ample lighting in the entryway, stairs, and hallways. The room also had several forms of lighting from lamps to an overhead light with lightswitch by the door. There was a cute narrow closet with hangers.
Unusual touches - there is freestanding coatrack, exhaust fan and adjustable magnifying mirror in the bathroom, several glass lamps with multiple bulbs that allow for dim-to-bright light, mantel and fireplace (not active), step stool for climbing into the bed, and more.
Host - Nicole was very attentive and responsive during my stay. If I needed anything, she was a phone call or text away. I would definitely visit, again!
