“This is a great choice!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for a girls weekend that included a game at the Verizon Center. The location for that was ideal. It was two blocks (also two blocks from Metro). The staff was phenomenal. They went above and beyond for us every time. The lobby was fun (fresh coffee, water, tea, cookies), the rooms clean and seemed newly renovated. Safety was paramount - you needed your room key to even access the elevator or the back entrance to the Irish Pub attached to the hotel. Breakfast was part of the rate and was more than adequate. I've seen some reviews that complained, but it is a typical breakfast setup. Fresh fruit, yogurts, breads, waffles, microwave sandwiches. I'd also read some reviews that mentioned street noise, but the only sounds I heard were typical city sounds (like emergency vehicles). It was on the edge of Chinatown with lots of little shops and restaurants around.

I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to friends. The staff is what would make this hotel stand out. Every single person we encountered wanted to help us in any way.

Room Tip: We had a higher level room, which I always choose for noise purposes.

“Great hotel close to must-see sites in DC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

What a great hotel! Great service by hotel staff at any time of day, a fantastic continental breakfast to start every morning, and fresh coffee available in the lobby all day, both decaf and regular. We didn't know what to expect when we booked online but if we were ever in DC again, we would stay there and recommend the hotel to anyone we know.

Room Tip: Booked through Hotels.com and got a great deal on the room rates!

“Excellent Hotel in an even better location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

person found this review helpful

From the the moment we arrived we were greeted with wonderful staff. The valet and the front desk personnel were very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable; they recently remodeled and everything was quite new. The location cannot be beat for people who really like to see the city and want to have a good "night out on the town". It is a one block walk to the Verizon Center, the Metro station, and great bars like the Greene Turtle, Fado, and RFD. There is even an excellent Irish Pub on the premises! We stayed for two nights and could not be more pleased with this hotel. After a late night out on Saturday, the security staff even called in a pizza delivery order for us at 3:30am! We are now hooked on this hotel for the reasons of the wonderful guest service and the location. Will book it for every stay in DC from now on, and that is at least 4x a year. Great hotel!

“Better than the normal Fairfield Inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

This is not your typical blue roof Fairfield Inn. The quality was equal to a Courtyard property. The rooms were spacious, clean, and up to date. The desk space was functional and Internet speeds were good. The bed was comfortable and pillows perfect. The very staff member was friendly from e front desk to housekeepers and even the maintenance man I encountered in the elevator. Breakfast was similar to other Fairfield and Residence Inn locations. The food was fresh and the staff members over seeing breakfast were extremely friendly and attentive. The only negetive thing I did notice was that in room movies were not available.

Room Tip: Select a room on the street side of e hotel. There does tend to be some street noise especially on F...

“Clean, small rooms in Chinatown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

- The location was very convenient for our business trip. It was also relatively easy to walk to all main attractions.
- Our king room was clean, very small, tiny closet, decent bathroom, good quality matress;
- Wireless internet was slow, just enough to check emails;
- Breakfast selection was standard, not very healthy options;
- Staff was very friendly, always with a smile.

Overall - good experience, will recommend.
