“Bad service, tiny rooms”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW via mobile

The rooms are almost as expensive as at deluxe hotels, but mine is tiny with no reading chair or couch. I read in bed or at the desk. When I checked in, I was told that I was upgraded. That does not seem possible as there can't be a smaller room with a king sized bed. On the positive side,... More

Took my wife to spend the night near Dupont Circle at The Fairfax at Embassy Row...not disappointed!

“Great location, excellent staff”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

was recently here on business, and was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff, and the care and concern they showed to me and my foreign colleagues. Room was warm, spacious and comfortable, breakfast buffet more than adequate and the location right off Dupont Circle was convenient to everything, including metro, and many dining choices. Though there is no... More

“Service and Location”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We could not have been better situated for our DC needs. Dupont circle is 1.5 blocks away as is great dining and shopping (books!). We visited my son who is attending AU and this was a great jumping off point along the Red line. The hotel was friendly and welcoming. Lobby is small but that is DC. It is not... More

“Wi fi”

Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

Why oh why do hotels keep charging for wi fi in rooms? Especially when cheaper places tend to include as complimentary! Very helpful staff, good rooms but small details missing - ie had to call down for sugar sachets and could not work out how to start shower - was promised a call back on that one but someone turned...

Thank you for sharing your perspective of your recent stay at our hotel. As many less expensive properties are generally smaller in size, offering complimentary WiFi is something that can be considered. We do understand that extra charges can be bothersome, but we do try to keep the cost of those services at an affordable rate for those who need... More

“If not for the location and the loyal traveler program, I'd can it.”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

I've been staying here for a great many years, since it was a Westin. When they decided to reburbish it to a Luxury Collection, I wish they would have made a commitment to Luxury standards. While everything is nominal, you expect more at the level the property aspires to. I paid for what I know is a second level room,... More

“clean and classy”

We stayed for 5 nights (April, 2013) in a clean, well-appointed room. Though on the surface, the room only had the basic furnishings in standard sized room, the Fairfax won points for being immaculate, and the rooms were very quiet. There were several families attending a wedding held there, and yet, we really never heard them until we were in... More
