Hotels in Chinatown, Washington D.C.

Good location, good breakfast, big bed, free coffee and lemonade, snacks during the day. Easy walk to the museum. The place to eat around is very convenient, there is a Korean bibimbap. The hotel's WIFI signal is a bit weak, and sending pictures is a bit slow.

What an absolutely amazing stay in the nations capital. My room was incredibly clean and it was even quiet, considering that there was a rooftop bar with live music. I slept well. And, I’m really grateful that they are in such close proximity to a Walgreens, which is right on the corner. I travel often and often forget a thing or two or just need simple things like bottles of water (I drink half a gallon to a gallon per day). But I want to give a big huge shout out to the staff particularly Jessica, Michael and Chris. I was traveling with someone with dementia. We were in town for the Alzheimer’s Association ball. And, they truly treated my travel companion with kid gloves! The staff were considerate to her needs and patient with her every step of the way. I even accidentally left my jacket in the hotel room trying to take care of my friend and Jessica call me later on that day to let me know that she found it and that she would personally ship it out. This jacket is very personal and special to me and has quite a bit of sentimental value so I’m so incredibly grateful that I didn’t lose it and that it’s on the way back to me. This was a great stay, a great hotel! You feel safe in a big city and the café downstairs has some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life!

1. I had about 4 interactions with the front office staff and they were generally not polite, welcoming or approachable. They do not acknowledge you when you wait for assistance when they are not attending to another client. Ashley in particular was extremely rude and dismissive with me when I complained about my room smelling of damp and the carpet literally was damp too. She actually scolded me and said that I was only repeating myself over and over again (perhaps it was because I was not being heard). When the manager (I assume she was the manager, she did not introduce herself or say what position she held in the hotel) came out to resolve the issue she attempted to be more polite than Ashley was but still would not acknowledge my frustration, her tone was patronizing, she did not want me to talk about Ashleys rude behavior towards me, she just wanted me to shut up and be grateful I would be moved to another room. 2. Another thing was coming to check in after a long flight with a toddler that had had an accident on the way and being told there was no water . We could not freshen up. Restaurant was closed so we had to venture out to look for food while still disheveled and sticky from the trip. 3. Bathtub had a permanent brown ring on it and was completely worn out. The forcet kept falling off into the bath water. It was not pleasant having to bath my toddler in a dirty looking tub. The extractor fans in the bathroom are inoperable!!!! 4. There were so many long hairs stuck all over the bathroom walls, floors, sink, closet floors as well as the towels and washclothes. I literally had to wipe the whole bathroom down with a soapy wet washcloth to get the hairs off . Absolutely gross! The best part of our stay was how comfortable the bed was! It felt like I was sleeping on a cloud . And breakfast was just as delightful! The staff at breakfast are so warm and welcoming and went above and beyond to accommodate my rambunctious toddler. Gwen in particular was amazing!!!! Friendly but professional and extremely proactive. Also the housekeeping staff are super polite and helpful. Perhaps they could train your front office staff in the art of true hospitality.

The first room had a very noisy fan. I was moved to another room which was much quieter. I noticed that there were several small issues with the room and relayed them to the front desk, where a manager (Keith) overheard me and said he would look into it. Nothing happened to correct it during the entire stay, not a note to say how or if it would be corrected. The issue was a ring of paint or epoxy in the bathtub, something that should have been cleaned up at the time of painting. The second issue was the very poor arrangement of lighting in the room. Lamps were confined to small areas, there was no overhead light and the bathroom was either overlit or underlit, while the closet area was dark unless it was daylight. Afterwards I noticed that there large holes in the sheer curtains in the room. Not tragic, but not in keeping with the tenor and tone of a Marriott Bonvoy. In the lobby there was only an ADA service elevator to go from the street to the lobby level. It was self operated, no instructions, no indication lights on either level and a bit noisy.

We chose the Hilton because of its location at DuPont Circle and proximity to the metro. It was perfect. Very clean and excellent service. We had a corner room with large windows and a nice view. We weren’t able to check in early and still have our chosen room but we left our luggage with the bell captain, parked and went off to explore on foot for awhile, taking the advice from a helpful front desk clerk for a nice place for lunch close by. Everything was close by. It worked out perfectly. The price of the hotel was excellent too which offset the cost of parking ($56/day) in the garage below where the car stayed for the whole trip. It was very easy to park and get back inside. The restaurants looked lovely but we didn’t eat there. There were just too many local choices and we were out walking most of the day. The bell captain was helpful in getting us a cab one cold evening when my Uber app was be working well. He went outside in the cold until he was able to hail one for us (comparable in price to the Uber we would’ve taken) Lovely stay. Highly recommend.

The location of the shop is not far from the Red Line subway Dupont station. There are small restaurants and bookstores next to the street. The hotel facilities are quite new and clean; the bedding is soft; the bathroom supplies daily in the room; the only thing that needs attention is the hot water and the conversion socket Fortunately, every morning there is hot coffee and water in the lobby, and newspapers are provided.

This was my third visit to The Darcy in DC. The bathrooms are small, but the rooms are very comfortable. I love the daily cocktail tasting, and the staff are always exceptional. The location is ideal with outstanding restaurants and shopping within walking distance.

The trip was great and the stay at the hotel totally contributed to this. I would recommend the hotel and will also stay here again.

My first room was ok until the lights started flickering and wouldn't turn off. The TV n remote then malfunctioned. So i went to the front desk and De'Angelo helped us. He sent a staff up top check it out. After thr engineer came up, he left to tell De'Angelo to switch or room. So they did, but only thing they had available was a downgraded room, so he put in some notes for us and got us comped a room with a balcony for out last night's stay. He and the night staff are excellent and he's only been here a short while. Now the day staff on other hand was terrible. Went t.i grint desk at 11 to inquire about our room upgrade, and was told it's being prepared, but we didn't get switched until about 4pm. We had an itinerary that we couldnt complete due to us waiting for our room switch. Also asked room service for 2 sets of silverware, and they brought them up about an hour and a half later, and also entered our room without notice while iwas in the shower. So when u come to the Watergate, your night experience will be way more enjoyable then dealing with day staff.
