Everything was EXCELLENT!! The accommodation fit our need in every way. As it’s a historic building there was a “smell” that wasn’t preferred but that comes with age, I suppose (pun intended).

Everything was lovely. Our room, however, was starting to show signs of wear—the bathroom wallpaper edges were starting to curl and the grout needed to be steam cleaned.

The staff was overly friendly and the room was clean. My issue was I left and was only gone for 10 minutes. My daughter left her Apple Watch in the room and the staff. I feel lied and said it was not there. I know someone from the staff took my daughter‘s watch I do not appreciate that overall it was a great stay.

Hotel Monaco was perfect for an overnight stay celebrating a milestone birthday with family in D.C. We took in dinner and a show, both within walking distance of the hotel. The holiday market right outside the front door made for a picturesque backdrop for our celebratory stay. Keilon and the rest of the staff met all expectations including flowers awaiting the guest of honor upon her arrival to her room. Thank you for a wonderful, memorable stay. We will be back!

The staff was very rude and rushed me through the check in process. They put us in the basement, and the only window in the room was opaque, making it feel like a dungeon. Didn’t receive the complimentary water. Container of damp rid in room just full of water. Several water marks where there was a leak and was growing mold. Room smelled bad. Wallpaper was peeling off. The building itself was very neat and they did do a good job at maintaining the historical aesthetic. Location was very convenient. Overall, I will not stay here again.

We paid $500+ for a night that we could not even enjoy because of the street noise. This was supposed to be a \"garden level\" room. There was no garden. There was a noisy street that was actually ABOVE our room. We could not even let daylight in because people walking on a sidewalk would be able to see inside our room. Terrible. Never again we will consider this hotel chain.

I love Kimpton hotels!
I adore their scents, decor, and bike lending. All the little touches they add are fun.

DC: Providing postcards and doing the stamping and mailing at the old post office building is a joyful novelty.

I understand, but I’m sad that the toiletries are no longer in small take away bottles.

The bikes we received were in need of service (loose seats and not aligned).

The room with a queen bed we stayed in was by far the smallest hotel room we've ever stayed in. A bigger person would not have been able to fit between the foot of the bed and the opposite wall (where the TV is mounted), in order to move from the side of the room with the door and bathroom to the side with the desk and most readily accessible outlets. The place was clean, but our room was located on the \"1st\" floor, which is sub street level (and below the lobby) and smelled musty. The room itself actually smelled damp. We considered asking for a different room, but the schedule for the convention we were in town for was tight, so we just dealt with it for the hours we were in the room to sleep. The food at the restaurant is good, the staff is very polite, and I appreciate that they highlight the automatic gratuity on the check. I found it a little strange that, though they walk by the tables frequently, you essentially have to flag someone down to ask for the check, a to go box, etc. No one ever even stopped in to check on my meal or ask if I wanted water.

Beautiful hotel in great location The room was very attractive and bedding was comfortable. Although the layout was poor. and the air conditioning vent faced a window in an alcove blowing cold air only in that space. which made the room very hot.
No drawer storage for our clothing Our first night there was terrible banging music over our room until 5 AM. Staff was very unfriendly and not very attentive in general. With exception to the bellmen at the door. They were all wonderful. Service at bars and restaurants also unfriendly. With exception of waiters in the restaurant

The good: This is a lovely rehabilitated historic building; we loved our room, the tall ceilings and wide hallways. We also enjoyed a drink at the bar. Our first night's stay was fine after the party in the courtyard ended around 9 p.m. Unfortunately, the second night was a nightmare. The people in the neighboring room on the second night of our stay were extremely loud, leading us to check out at 2 a.m. and drive home rather than put up with the noise any longer. We did contact hotel staff earlier in the evening, who followed up with them, but to no avail - after a brief period, they resumed the loud talking, and their dog barked on several occasions. There were also children running and making noise in the halls both nights, long past the time when small children should have been in bed. We may have simply been unlucky, but the experience was miserable.

Nice location, would not stay again

Very disappointing stay . We travel frequently and this by far was sub-par. The reception desk staff acted as if we were bothering them from check-in to check out. The complimentary social hour staff, however, were welcoming and friendly. Regarding the rooms…. I have never seen a flat bedsheet thrown over an uncovered duvet! Horrible! For the price of the room, a duvet cover should absolutely be standard! The bar was advertised to be open until 11pm/12am. Both nights we were there the bar closed at 8pm!!!! With no notice or communication !!! Location was great but please stay at a different nearby hotel.

The hotel is hit or miss. Much depends on the room you get. Some are supposedly wonderful and large. Some are in basement (what they call 1st floor) with limited windows. Ours was ok, clearly an office that had been converted, with a bathroom built into the room, which looked odd and created an L shape. Some of the windows were covered by a massive headboard. In all it felt a bit thoughtlessly put together. Not sure it's worth the price, esp with the $30/day amenity fee they tack on (which I had no idea what it was for).

We booked a suite as per the description and pictures on the Expedia app, at arrival we were put into a regular room with a tiny 24 inch TV, we were told that is the standard size of TVs at the property, which of course isn’t true. the hotel or Expedia were not able to do anything for us. We eventually paid $350 to get an upgrade , honestly for this price I could have stayed at the Ritz.

The hotel is dated, the rooms/carpets smelled of mould. Restaurant wouldn’t serve post 10pm, the hotel didn’t even provide water bottles in the room. Overall experience was dismal, will take our business elsewhere going forward!
