I was pleasantly surprised with this visit! I booked this room bundled with my flight so I could save money and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. It’s in a prime location, close by restaurants and the metro train, and had a lovely view.

The room itself had TONS of storage space and was clean. There were a couple negative aspects that I simply just overlooked bc everything else was great: the couch needed a deep clean, there was no full length mirror in my unit, the shower smelled a little, and there was one pillow under the pillowcase that needs cleaning.

Overall, I was impressed. The staff was wonderful and I would definitely stay here again as well as recommend it to anyone.

The suite was amazing. Extremely cozy, clean, and had everything I needed. The kitchen area was definitely a plus and very convenient since I brought my own food to the hotel. The only thing that was a con was that the air vent smelled like smoke whenever it came on. But other than that, it was a nice space and great area.

The hotel rooms are nothing like in the pictures. The rooms are on the \"Courtyard\" level with is essentially the basement. All those big windows in the pics - those are acrually tiny windows that are underground and you are below the sidewalk. The hallway outside the rooms are accross the hall from the trash room - so it smells so bad I almost vomited several times. The smell seeps into the rooms. They tried to cover the smell with an air scent thing that makes it even worse. The room had outlets that didnt work, and the door had a large gap under it - which allowed the smell, noise and light in the room. The walls are super thin so I could hear my neighbors conversation verbatim. The listing also shows a hotel bar - that also doesnt exist. Such a HUGE disappointment!!!

This place had high reviews but it did not live up to the reviews. The floors were sticky, there was dust everywhere, it was extremely loud. It was quieter being outside on the street than in the room on the 7th floor. I felt dirty in the room and packed up a day early becuase I couldn't wait to leave. I did not enjoy my time in the room except for sleeping--the bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean. The washing machine and dryer did not work. Canceled the cycle.

The studio was perfect in many ways. Well equipped and well thought out. An excellent location in beautiful neighborhood, and just steps to the Metro station. However, it was very difficult to get rest as the noise from traffic (horns honking constantly, emergency vehicle sirens, etc) was overwhelming. Hopefully the hotel replaces windows in the older building with sound-proof windows. Until then, ear plugs are a necessity!

Room a little tired, bed not very comfortable. Great location though, beautiful building and really nice staff. Shame about the “ball” on the Saturday night. With a party like that - going past the venue’s “quiet hours” - you’d expect to be forewarned - both at the time of booking (we booked a week out) and during the week leading up to the event. That lack of warning changed my view of the place considerably.

The room was fantastic. Location excellent. Very clean and almost everything was in working fashion. The only issue was the washer / dryer combo machine. We tried to wash out clothes the night before leaving and we got about 40 minutes through the wash cycle into the spin cycle and the machine began to shake violently like it was off balance. We thought it might exploded by how back it was shaking. Or at the very least someone would be knocking on our door complaining. Thankfully that never happened and I just cut the wash short to just skip to the drying portion. However, it seemed as if the vent had never been cleaned out. The dryer would get extremely hot even though we had it on low heat setting. Then it would only dry for about 10 minutes then stop and display a message saying \"cancelled.\" We tried looking for the vent to clean it out ourselves but could find it. And the one spot we thought it might be at we couldn't access without a tool. So we had to pack soaking wet clothes for our flight home. So our last night was unfortunate because that took until about 1:30 am until we gave up on that. But other than that situation we truly loved it and will definitely be coming back. Just not using the washer/dryer combo machine haha.

Good Value but Wifi Lounge was not available

Great location and good value. However, the wifi lounge was not available as the hotel had rented it out for a filming for 2 full days during my 3 day stay. I booked this hotel for the wifi lounge for remote work. Since there is no lobby or public space this stay was completely inconvenient. Additionally, the towel bar in the bathroom was falling off the wall.

I have mixed feelings about this property. View, light, and privacy are very important to me, so I called ahead to make sure we’d be in a room facing the square (in the older building), not one overlooking the adjacent wall, as some reviewers had warned. I was advised to book a one-bedroom instead of a studio , as I had originally planned.
Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were placed in a room facing another building with very little light or privacy—and directly next to the noisy elevator. The room also wasn’t very clean. When I asked to switch rooms, the front desk couldn't help that evening (it was only 6.30pm), and I was told to speak to the manager the next morning. Thankfully, the manager was kind and accommodating, and moved us to a studio, which was exactly what we were hoping for—bright, full of natural light, and facing the square. There was some traffic noise at night, but it didn’t bother us.
In short: our first room was a 1-star experience, the second was a 5-star. So overall, it’s a mixed review and i am glad we were able to change room after 1 night.
Location is really great, and close to restaurants and shops. Lots of options within 10-15 min walk.

The room was beautifully designed—comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated with all the little touches that made my stay extra special. It’s clear they really care about their guests. I would definitely recommend Placemaker DC to anyone looking for a warm, inviting place to stay in the heart of DuPont Circle.I will be returning :)

Because of my flight, I arrived extremely late (around 1:00 am). When I arrived, I learned that I needed to fill out a form that Expedia should have sent me and never did. In addition, because of my delayed arrival, they declared the room as \"no show.\" So I needed assistance with this mess. There is only a one-way camera to talk to someone, and I spent over an hour filling out the form and waiting for a room to be assigned to me - even when I had paid in full for my stay. I was provided with different codes to access my room, and several did not work while I was communicating with the person just over email. Extremely poor customer service

Spacious but in need of maintanence

Amazing location and very spacious and clean apartment. A few in room issues such as the first day the sink plug was broken meaning the sink would not drain. This was however sorted within 24hrs by staff. Bathroom sliding door was faulty and would often fall off the hinges. This resulted in us twice becoming trapped in the bathroom. The shower in the room was slow and for some reason the hairdyer would only blow cold air. No proper sheet covering on the duvet (duvet laid betweent to flat sheets), leaving the duvet exposed which was odd.

Pros: The building exterior and location are great. The staff was friendly and attentive. Clean, soft linen.

Cons: The interior of the building needs a total overhaul. Upon arrival I got stuck in the elevator (looks original like an nyc old school with a gate thing), my keypad didn't work (the #4 was inoperable) and I had to go back down to get a fob, the room had a window ac unit with tape around it and stains on the shade from clear water damage, I could hear every single noise from the street, there were some obvious cleanliness issues such as mold in the refrigerator drawer and some other overlooked areas.

The 4 stars are for the friendly staff, otherwise this would be 2 stars considering the rate paid. I have stayed at other Placemkr properties and have not seen these issues.

We're not dirty people but the rubbish bin filled up and, when my husband queried the lack of cleaning and emptying of the bin, the lady on reception gave him some clean bin liners and showed him where he could put his rubbish. not what we expected.

Location excellent. Friendly folks at front desk. Comfortable and spacious room (didn't spend too much time there). But what's up with a street lantern at the height of our 2nd floor window so the room was lit all night because of lack of proper (blackout) curtains? And what's up with the roll down curtain/screens that would leave us totally exposed during the day if rolled up so we left it down and couldn't look out either when we were there during the day? Really, the window treatment needs to be addressed BIG TIME!

Bunker in a mansion

We were in a basement room, which we did not expect. It was dark with a very small window at the top of the wall. The bed was comfortable and the room had good amenities including a full kitchen, sofa, and dining table, but it was not at all cozy or inviting. It felt like a well appointed bunker. I have to assume that rooms on the upper floors are more inviting. It was disappointing to stay in a grand old building and have the room be devoid of any character.

Not amazing.

There was a very loud party happening in the event space. I asked when the party would end, as I had an early morning. The response was “hopefully soon. It’s an event rental space, so we have no control.” When the music finally stopped the person in the next room was snoring so loudly I had to turn the washing machine on to drown out the snoring. It was truly horrible.

This is not really a hotel. More like a building of efficiency apartments. Our TV never worked correctly. It took two of the 3 days we were there for anyone to even try to address the issue. Communication was very slow. And the room had a horrible view of a ventilation shaft. There was a lot of mold in the shower and the heater barely worked in well below freezing weather. The bed is cheep stiff. At the right price point it’s fine I suppose. But there are much better real hotel options close by at this price point.

Lot of potential - but overall disappointing. Beautiful building in a great location.

The unit was clean and functional. Bed was comfortable and shower pretty good with hot water.

However, it was very sparse and amenities were lacking and pretty basic. Disappointing at this price point - cheap, tacky furniture; sad paper towels, toilet paper and knockoff coffee maker that struggled to make coffee. No place to put silverware and barely functional nightstands.

Also, old fashioned scary elevator that often did not work because someone hadn't closed the door. Wind came through the windows and the TV in the bedroom did not function.

Beautiful building with lots of potential, but lack of thought and care for guests' comfort made it an ultimately disappointing stay.
