Residence Inn Washington, DC/Dupont Circle

I loved this hotel. Great location easy access to things. The staff was so friendly we arrived early and gave us a room early, and didn't even charge us. The room was spacious and cozy. The breakfast was good. Being in the travel field myself I highly recommend this hotel is is my go to for Washington DC now.

We looked for a reasonably priced Marriott near the zoo and this one came up. It is walking distance from many restaurants and shops. We had a one-bedroom with kitchenette on an upper floor and definitely appreciated the full refrigerator! Despite the overall room size, the bedroom only had a queen bed. The living/dining area was roomy and comfortable. Maybe some of that space, or closet space, could have been used to squeeze a king bed into the bedroom. The lighting in the kitchenette was inadequate. This, some of the decor, and the a/c unit that was noisy enough to wake me up at 2:30 AM, didn’t impress me. There is onsite parking in an underground private garage but it is cramped for a larger vehicle like our van. I priced other parking but there aren’t many convenient and/or safe options nearby. Their parking is $50/night plus a parking tax for a total of $62.50/night! Their complimentary breakfast is nice and has some good variety so that’s worth a lot in this part of DC. - i.e. helps make up for some of the parking cost.

The staff were extremely friendly, especially the breakfast crew. The hotel was clean, as was the gym. The location was perfect and we walked or took the metro everywhere. It was also convenient that they had a garage as we drove into town. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in DC.

This hotel is located in downtown Washington, D.C. with a secured underground parking garage at a rate of approximately $50.00 per day plus applicable tax. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean, and the complimentary breakfast offered a nice variety of food and beverages. My friends and I had a great visit admiring the cherry blossom trees at their peak bloomage during the last weekend of March 2025. We were pleased with our stay.

Beware, the whole lobby is a wreck right now. You can barely get to the elevator. You have to stumble over the floors being ripped up.... There wasn't any consolation or comment when I walked in to apologize for the mess. Most places would at least give you a water bottle and/or apologize. I would not have stayed here if I knew about all the construction. Also, when I walked in, I was the only person in line. No one was behind the counter... I had to yell into the back room for help. Someone then came out and said "I'll be with you in a minute", she went back to her co-workers and they were laughing and telling stories. I then waited for her to return. It was 3:00 on a Saturday. Also, the room smelled like moth balls. I looked online for a "value priced" hotel, that was still nice. Too bad, I can't recommend this place.

Great hotel, quite standard, clean and good location, near to good places and restaurants. Big room. Nice service. The atmosphere is amazing. Nice breakfast. There is an ATM and some product to buy inside the hotel. I do recommend if you come to Washington DC.
