The Madera was in a great location. Felt safe. Everything was clean and the rooms were nice and spacious.
I did have an issues with having to pay an amenity fee (it may be called something else it's an added daily activity fee), but I didn't want it, need it, or use it. When I asked if they could be removed as I've done at other hotels I was told I could not, so I just left eh bottle of wine in the room.
Also, I checked out very early for an early flight and there was no front staff for me to square my bill. That wouldn't have been an issue if they didn't hold 300 hundred dollars. I had to check out without knowing if my final bill was correct which I do not like to do.
Other than those administrative issues, I really like the hotel. And I would have stayed there again if not for having to pay that activity fee.

As always, we had an excellent stay. The location is perfect, Dupont and Adams Morgan are within walking distance to great restaurants and other points of interest.

As usual, all of the staff are friendly and helpful. We have always stayed at this hotel and have for the last 15 plus years, from the time it was a Kimpton owned property until now. However, this time we had a room on the top floor, the shower wasn't as strong as lower floors, the bathroom sink had a large crack, there weren't any closet doors and the furniture had pieces of the wood missing... a bit of an update needed perhaps but all in all the value is excellent compared to other hotels in the area and you can't beat the friendly staff and location.

With that said, anytime we travel to DC we will absolutely continue to stay at the Madera.

You are paying for location and upgraded amenities. I was not impressed by the restaurant -Firefly. Having a balcony was amazing. The linens and towels were not comfortable and didn’t smell fresh. The robe was dirty. When you book via hotels.com you are supposed to get a free bottle of wine - that didn’t happen and nobody at the front desk knew what I was talking about when I brought it up. The walls are very thin. You can hear your neighbor come and go. Overall I would stay again but not have this idea that I am going to get a 4 star experience, it’s a 2 star experience.

The room was nice and the staff at the front desk nice and helpful, but the hotel was extremely loud and the room had virtually no soundproofing. There were parties happening late into the night above our room, smoke odors coming into our room through the night, and we heard people fighting on the street below our room until 4:30 in the morning. Even though we were on a high floor, we could hear every word.

Other than that it was alright. Bathroom door slides and just hovers and doesn't close so if others are in the room they can hear everything. Balcony was nice. Staff were awesome.

I liked that the room was clean. I liked that it was close to the metro. However, I was a VIP and I was not offered a free bottle of wine which I would’ve declined since I don’t drink so there should be another option. I also was not offered any type of upgrade meeting a late checkout, even though I had a later flight that day or an upgrade. If it wasn’t for one person there, I would’ve read it lower. The non-management staff was sort of just blah. I stayed at other places in DC with much better service.

Disappointing stay, poor service, cleanliness

I stayed at Hotel Madeira in Dupont Circle for two nights over the weekend, and my experience was far below expectations. It took over 30 minutes to check in, which is unacceptable. The photos online are misleading and do not accurately represent the rooms. Cleanliness was lacking — the bathrooms were not properly maintained, and the towels were of poor quality.

The front desk hostess was completely rude, dismissive, and showed a lack of basic customer service skills during checkout. The valet service also deserves only one star for its inefficiency. My colleagues and I experienced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity issues that prevented us from completing parts of our business trip, and the unsecured Wi-Fi network is a concern.

In addition, there is no pool, the fitness area consists of only a few outdated and nonfunctional treadmills, and the onsite restaurant closes far too early — even on weekends. Extending the restaurant’s hours could improve the guest experience and attract local visitors or late-night diners from the Dupont Circle area.

Overall, the hotel fell short in service, professionalism, and amenities. With better staff training, improved cleanliness, reliable Wi-Fi, and extended dining hours, this property could better meet the standards expected in such a prime D.C. location.
