Being a starwood guest. I was disappointed on the room given to me. I used points for one night and paid for the 2nd.(not cheap) My view was roof tops and windows angled towards mine so i could look in another room if i wanted. Very small room, a bathroom where the door only opened as far as the toilet... More

We wanted a hotel that was close to the embassies so we could easily walk to take care of some issues. This answered that call perfectly. We already knew about the $40 a day parking (which in my opinion at a hotel like this is not right) but, knew about it in advance, and accepted that it was the way... More

My husband and I honeymooned at this hotel and opted to revisit for another experience. We visited during the Memorial Day holiday weekend from Saturday to Monday. The hotel was lively and the customer service was exceptional. Upon checking in, the front desk associate advised us of our room number, went through the requests made prior to our stay (hypoallergenic... More

The rooms were good, albeit a bit on the cluttered side which sort of adds to the character. Staff were friendly, but one didn’t really feel they were going out of their way to help. My only real complaint was the air-con which was incredibly noisy. In summary, a bit expensive for what it is, hardly memorable, not as convenient... More

I have to say that I share many reviews on this site. We are back from a 4-night stay, paid on starpoints. On top of this, we use the Platinum Upgrade Awards (a new amenity from SPG) to secure an upgrade in a deluxe suite. Let me be clear: the room was fantastic, charming, with luxurious sheets, and most of... More

Technology can be a wonderful thing, but in contrast can also cause some un-foreseeable issues. Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding your reservation and we're happy to see that all worked out in the end, however hearing that there was more than one issue is concerning. We will certainly look into why these issues presented themselves and hopefully... More

We have stayed at the Fairfax on several occasions, both for business and for pleasure. It is a smaller hotel, which we enjoy. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The rooms are large and airy. The location is perfect - just a little off of Dupont Circle, so it's not too busy but within seconds you can get anywhere you... More

I took my significant other on a much needed weekend away. Here goes: 1. We arrived and immediately, I was hit with a rude, short Bellman. He didn't speak or say, "Welcome to The Fairfax at Embassy Row". He started writing down my license plate and asked for my keys. I was stunned. No professionalism at all. 2. There is... More

Stayed here for two nights recently for the ending of our around the world travel adventure on The Global Scavenger Hunt. The lobby is small, but the bar area and restaurant are large as are rooms. The staff was welcoming and helpful...close to Dupont Circle and Metro (a sad state of affairs there!) A great value...

I quite liked this hotel. Pretty comfortable overall. Close to the metro, and lots of fun food and strolling options in Dupont. Also, a nice 20 minute walk to Metro Center on a temperate day. There are a few things though that make it fall just short of an A. First, they either seem to have way too many people... More
