My husband and I loved this place. The hotel used to be an old mansion and has that feel. We loved getting drinks and sitting outside watching all the fun happenings of DuPont circle. The location of the hotel is great. Close to great restaurants and fun bars. We took the subway to go to the famous sites. Lastly the staff was just so friendly. Who ever was sitting at the front desk would strike up a conversation with you. We felt so welcomed.
