The Fairfax at Embassy Row, Washington, D.C.

Very nice hotel. I enjoyed 1920s ambience.

great pillows clean room

Brief overnight in DC by DuPont Circle, hotel was clean, friendly and convenient location for business and social events. Staff were friendly and helpful, informative and courteous, but hotel policy of charging all guests an additional “resort activity fee” ($28) was a negative affront in an otherwise pleasant experience here. Management here is mistaken to continue this additional charge to guests who do not use the gym or other facilities on what could be a brief visit. I decided to dine elsewhere in face of this fee. I was offended by this charge.

Wonderful overall, friendly and courteous staff. However, I don’t understand why the management would tell the hotel/restaurant bar staff to close everything down at 11:15-11:30pm. Just as we arrived they said we’ve already done last call. They were kind enough to make the three of us a drink, but others who arrived 5mins. or so behind us weren’t so lucky. Seems like the hotel is missing out on revenue, especially on the weekends.

Good location, close to Metro. Excellent areas to gather with friends. Buffet Breakfast $$, Happy Hour. Excellent rooms, some with a view. Would definitely stay there again.
