It was my first time to DC and I was having difficulty finding a place to stay. I happened to find…read morethe Hotel Madera on Yelp and so happy I did. The hotel is in a great area that's close to different eating places and some stores (CVS, Trader Joe's). The room I had faced the street and I had no issues with it. It was clean, big, came with a mini fridge and a tiny bar area. I wouldn't recommend renting a car since there isn't a parking lot. I'm not too sure what the parking situation is like. There was a water faucet to refill your water bottle in the hallway..it may be me but I couldn't figure out how to turn it off LOL! I almost forgot to mention that there's a mini gym too. The next time I visit DC, I'd likely stay at the Hotel Madera again.

This hotel is conveniently located near DuPont circle. It was only a short walk for food and to…read moreattend our conference. The amenities included water, bikes, umbrellas, free drink during happy hour, and the safety of a door attendant at night. The price was fair during our stay. The decor of the cafe and bar was very cute but the rooms were very simple. The best part was the view. The tv prompted me to do phone cast which was confusing at first but on the second day I was able to watch regular cable. Solid place, but not my favorite.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were all amazing, nice and sweet. (At least the front desk…read morestaff... the lobby bar staff ehhh...). The room was nice. The shower was one I've never seen before it was super cute, and it would be even better as a staycation. I came here for a dc girls weekend, and it was in the perfect location. Easily walkable to all museums and other things in the area. A wawa was right across the street which made things a lot easier if we needed to grab something quickly. The pool area was cute. They had some pool chairs and cabanas available for guest. I went during Juneteenth weekend, and they had a band playing on Friday, then Saturday night they had a rooftop party that was cute and free to guest staying at the hotel. I had a great time here with my friend. We also browsed the lobby which has the button wall, the photo wall with the light. And some other cool stuff. Would i stay again, absolutely! The resort fee was a bit high. But that's DC for you. lol. See pics below

I booked this place last minute, and the pricing felt quite reasonable for the area…read more Upon check-in, the hotel had a lively, buzzing atmosphere. I will say that the spaces appear larger in photos than they are in reality, but it felt more cozy than cramped, which worked well for us. The room itself wasn't particularly spacious--fairly typical for DC--but we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade from a queen to a king bed. The bathroom, however, was more spacious than expected. The interiors are stylish and distinctive, with a strong purple and pink theme. There are tributes throughout the property to Ruth Bader Ginsburg and other women activists, which gives the hotel a unique personality. If that's not your preference, there are plenty of similarly priced hotels nearby--but I personally appreciated the concept. The location was a big plus. We were able to walk to most major attractions, and when needed, public transportation (bus and train) was just a 5-10 minute walk away. Food was a highlight. The shawarma wings were excellent--though I would have liked a touch more salt--and the pickled chilies and cooling yogurt-based dip were unexpected but complemented the dish very well. The burger and fries were also standout items. The happy hour burger, priced at $10, was filling and well worth it. As someone who takes potatoes seriously, I can say the fries were done right. Drinks were equally impressive. We tried a mix of wines, beers, a Negroni, and a few cocktails--all were well-executed. One minor disappointment was the handling of the "unlimited" coffee, tea, and water mentioned at check-in. While appreciated in theory, they did run out of both coffee and water during our stay. It might be more practical to have refill stations rather than distributing limited cans after advertising unlimited availability. On a positive note, they did give us a welcome nutribar at check in and there were apples to pick at the lobby, which was a nice touch. Overall, the service was excellent, with the exception of one staff interaction. However, I wouldn't judge the entire experience based on a single instance--everyone has off days. Overall, a very good stay with strong highlights in design, location, and food.

What a beautiful hotel--- you can definitely tell it is a newer spot in comparison to, perhaps, the…read moreolder one around D.C. If you were looking for that kind of antique experience, you may want to keep on moving. Nonetheless, we had a corner room with windows all around, a king sized bed, and a bathroom with a bluetooth option to play music from your device. Pretty snazzy. I also appreciate how Tempo by Hilton offers the full sized shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower, too--- so you don't have to worry (at least, if you don't bring your own stuff!). We didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant or the bar, but I will say there is a coffee shop around the corner/attached (ish?). This is also located around 30-50 minutes walking distance to all the popular spots in D.C., everything from the White House to the Capitol. It just depended on your walking "tolerance." The room was cleaned daily. Lots of space for being the corner room. Now, depending on how you feel about this: there is no closet. So, our bags were kind of spilling all over the place. Upside: there is a fridge you can use! Ironically, we didn't even use this! Anyway, all that to say--- I would stay here again!

The staff were all super sweet and helpful, A+ for customer service! I'm a light sleeper and I didn't hear any noise through the rooms or out in the hallway that disrupted my sleep. They have big black out curtains on the windows that did a great job at blocking out the light in my room. A few things to note: -They have electric kettles and pour over coffee. I turned off the kettle before it was fully done, and even when I turned it off early, the water was incredibly hot (hotter than a typical hotel coffee maker). The outside of the kettle also became scalding hot, so be careful. -The parking is valet only. Normally that wouldn't be an issue. However, none of the valet drivers could drive a manual car. They still had us park there, but they had us park the car ourselves. The valet parking has in and out privileges, but they're not 24-hours a day. I wish the website made it clear they weren't open overnight. BUT, the customer service was top notch and when we needed the car and valet wasn't there, the front desk staff helped us get it. I will definitely stay here again.

Stayed in Lock #10 for two nights in mid-October. Wonderful stay. Bottom line, I definitely…read morerecommend the Georgetown House and would (Will) stay again. Comparing the value, quality, and location across other Georgetown properties - this place is a hand's down winner! Few points: 1. Comfortable bed, clean room. Locks 10 and 11 seem like they would be the best choice, other locks have common doors just outside your door, so you hear everyone coming / going and getting coffee, etc. 2. Nice little two-person outdoor patio set outside lock #10, very nice for sharing a night cap. 3. Others have commented about the absence of staff, I do agree this is off putting but everything seemed to work with a little 'figuring out'. 4. For example, checking in at the ATM like machine, which takes a $100 deposit - and provides a numerical key code to your room. It was unclear to me that code ALSO opens the front door just to the right of the ATM, and whether that door was the common entrance. 4a. Another reviewer also mentioned their deposit took longer than they expected to be refunded, I was surprised to see the deposit move to a charge vice dropping from 'pending charges', took the full 5 days to credit after I called - expect a delay, the refund is not instant. 5. On the coffee machine, it defaults to a 6oz pour. Override that and select 10oz - that fills the cup entirely and doesn't waste the Keurig grounds in the capsule. 6. Location could not be better, don't miss dinner at Clyde's or a dessert to go from Filomena's (Turtle and Strawberry cheesecakes are spectacular, all made in house). 7. Common area kitchen has a full size refrigerator with 11 labeled bins, each for a lock - nice to be able to chill a bottle of wine or other items as needed. Would stay again, thank you Georgetown House!

5 Star Greatness!!…read more Hubby booked accommodations here for our 20 year Anni. Cutesy street view, self check in (all digital), clean premises and entryway, unique quarters. We were assigned to Room #5. 112sq ft of intimate space, cleanliness and entertainment. Nicely new/ updated rooms, pretty décor, toiletries provided, in room remote thermostat, clothing storage, natural light and room lights, cable tv, etc. I loved everything about this room. It is smack in the middle of Georgetown. You can literally walk everywhere your heart desires. Located in a clean and safe neighborhood, late night food and entertainment gems, etc. There are moderately priced garages everywhere. Street metered parking if you're lucky, and a few free parking spaces 1 street over. Hubby and I are already making plans to return! This place is a must stay... Trust me !!

Let me start off by saying that I was completely wowed by this hotel! I came in with a group of…read morewomen for a bachelorette party and the staff members at this hotel were PHENOMENAL! Everything was well organized from start to finish! And I mean from the moment that we checked in to the moment that we checked out! This is gonna be a long review, so put your seatbelt on and go for this ride with me! When you first arrive, you park your car in the front and check in at the front desk. There was a bellman David, who met me and who was kind enough to help me take my items to my room. At check-in, I met Ellie, and Maggie. They greeted me and thanked me for being a brilliant member, and let me know what benefit benefits came with my stay. If you are a member of the hotels club, they have different incentives for you during your stay. I was advised what time I could come down for breakfast and also the various vending options and dining options available on site. After David, unloaded my items in my room I was able to go and take my car into the valet parking. The valet keeps your car overnight or you have the option to park on the street. If I were you, I would just let the valet handle it. They have an app where whenever you need your car you simply request it and the car is there within seconds! The valet attendant was Semir and he was soooo nice! I mean all of these people were super sweet! I cannot say that enough! Now let's get into the rooms! These rooms are filled with history, and eclectic decor. They have vinyl record players in each room and some really cool literature. But we took it over the top for me was the linen and the pillow pillows on the bed!!!! I literally missed one of the events for the bachelorette party because I sat on the bed and the whole bed grabbed my body, my faced kiss the pillow and I fell slam asleep!!! I feel like you guys need to send me two of those pillows for this review lolllll! Also, the food options were really amazing and there's a café not far down the sidewalk called Mamma Do's that you can dine with for your meals. The entire hotel smells amazing. The showers that I took at this hotel were incredible and it's like they literally have thought of everything and once you get in all you have to do is relax! There's a fridge in the rooms along with water and complementary coffees. They actually serve free alkaline waters in environmental, friendly bottles. One really cool component of this hotel is that they have a rooftop bar and it is like one of the spots in the city. There are many people that come to visit the rooftop, however, they do not have access to the guest floors which I thought was incredible! The security does a phenomenal job at making sure that only guest who are staying at the hotel make it onto guest room floors. That is not an easy task when you have a whole club upstairs. Also I don't know who handles the acoustics at this hotel, but the music did not bother me whatsoever while I was in my room. I literally could not hear it. The pricing at this hotel is beyond affordable, and the location is absolutely astonishing! Your Ubers are going to be literal pennies and you can pretty much walk anywhere! I really would like to send a special thank you to Maggie, who was overly welcoming to our party and who made sure that we had a phenomenal experience! Thank you again to Maggie, Ellie, Lydia, David, and Semir you made me feel home away from home, and I really appreciate it! I look forward to staying at more Langham properties in the future!

Update: After writing this review, I checked out of the hotel the next morning and the manager…read moreMaggie was absolutely fabulous and understanding. She explained to me that they have noise, ordinance restrictions and that if it was disturbing anyone from sleep, it means the rules that they haven't place were not obeyed. I didn't have time to have a full conversation with her and told her I would stop back by after a meeting. When I return to the hotel after my meeting, she was dealing with an emergency on site and I left my phone number at the Front Desk and she called me within a couple hours to finalize our discussion. She was gracious, polite, understanding, kind, and exactly the kind of hospitalitarian and you would expect from a top-tier hotel. I may consider coming back if Maggie is still in the manager. Having worked in the hospitality business for a very long time, she handled the situation perfectly and did everything within her power to make it right. WARNING: If you plan to be here on a weekend night, there will be NO SLEEP until after 2am. The first two nights of my four night stay were fine; Wednesday and Thursday. I booked a jr. suite while in town for a business meeting. It was just over 500SF with a couch and king bed, walk in closet, and vanity area in addition to a steam shower. Pros: firm bed, record player and fellow water kettle in room, easy to order ice, great water pressure. Walkable location to the convention center and many bars and restaurants and other local attractions. Cons: staff is polite, but not very warm or friendly. I didn't see a single woman who worked in hospitality here. The only female staff I saw were housekeepers. Attached food venues are currently closed (Baker's daughter, etc.) No top flat/top sheet on the bed, you sleep directly under the comforter. When I arrived, I had two large suitcases I was bringing in and two people on staff at the front door just watched me struggle through with my suitcases instead of offering to help me. Upon check-in, the only two Junior suites they had remaining were on the fourth floor, and the second one was directly under the nightclub on the eighth floor. The gentleman at Front Desk explained that to me as why he gave me the suite on the fourth floor, I thought I would not be subjected to the noise of the nightclub. WRONG. The listing for the suite quoted a "city view" but my view was only of an internal roof with gravel. TV does not have a "sleep setting" and most of the remote buttons didn't work (guide, menu, etc.) After the club finally closed at 2am and you could hear people screaming and arguing while departing, I also got to listen to my neighbors endeavor into adult activities. The hotel is cute, the beds are comfortable, but as someone who is not looking to go to a nightclub, let alone stay in one, I will never return. Not worth the steep price tags during a conference where rest is valued. Ultimately, I checked out a day early due to the excessive noise that they don't inform you of while booking. Can't recommend this hotel based on this experience as the price paid.

Our stay was very comfortable, they made us feel completely at home and we even took advantage of their happy hour before we headed for the rest of our day. To top it off, right as we're leaving the lobby, we noticed an employee making fresh popcorn in one of those old school popcorn stands. We immediately grabbed a cute little bag and got a huge scoop of popcorn for our train ride. Score! Aside from the inside of the hotel, it is conveniently located in Dupont Circle, so close to the metro station, down the street from a CVS and restaurants.
