The Fairmont Washington DC - Washington, USA 

Great Stay
Posted: Fri, May 22 2009
The Fairmont is a nice place to stay primarily due to it's location. We like to walk. If you like to walk as we do, you can get to all the major destination spots on foot. We walked to Georgetown, The State Building, The National Mall and Dupont Circle. The rooms were well appointed and clean. The bedding and pillows were fantastic. Maybe it just felt that way after all the walking, LOL. We really can't comment much on the service, only because we did not use it. The Hotel lobby was nice and all the staff we encountered were polite.

Still a wonderful place to stay in DC

This was my third time at the Fairmont Washington and it remains a truly wonderful place to stay. I was upgraded to a Capital permier Corner Suite which was quite beautiful--separate sitting and dining area, king bed etc. The hotel is smaller than some of the giant DC conference factories and so has an intimacy and warmth that make me want to return. The conceirge staff, as always, were most helpful, and the room service staff were exceptional--even remembering from time to time where I liked the meal set up. This is a great hotel in a truly amazing city.

Great, But not Perfect

We stayed in one of the regular rooms, with two "double" (not really that big) beds. The room was average to a bit larger, with a desk, small table, a couple of regular chairs, one arm chair, a clean ironing board and a good quality iron, and one small analog TV set. The room was clean and generally well maintained. But, there were a variety of small annoyances during our visit that one should not have at a hotel that is this nice and this expensive: the shower head was damaged and only provided a hoselike deluge of water; one day housekeeping service took the hotel robe we had left on the back of a chair and did not replace it; the lobby bar was closed one night without notice, explanation, or apology; the lobby ATM machine was out of order. But, the person that checked us in, Deborah Arnold, was the smartest, nicest, and most efficient front desk person I have ever met. We would definitely stay here again, but there are some minor improvements needed to reach perfection.

Overrated

The Fairmont Washington DC hotel is nice, but I was disappointed with a few aspects of the stay. The staff was very friendly and professional and the rooms were clean. However, my room was next to a room labeled "Private" which was a room the hotel staff used for something I am not quite sure. From early in the morning, until very late at night they were banging around tn there. Also, I went to use the gym and they charge $ which is SO tacky for a nice hotel. The gym isn't even that great. There are so many choices in DC, I will stay somewhere else next time.
