Carlyle Suites Hotel

The hotel is located a couple of blocks form Dupont Circle for easy access to the Metro and there are plenty of good restaurants withing walking distance. The hotel itself was very clean and the staff was friendly. Having a small kitchenette was nice for an extended stay though we didn't use it. Everything appeared in working order. The only thing I would warn against is the free parking that is in the listing. They have about 20 spots at the hotel and if you don't get one, you have to park on the street between 6p and 9a or find a meter/parking garage for the day. The parking is first come, first serve and the best advice I was given was to go and check the lot occasionally and hope someone is leaving/has left. As this was one of the main reasons we booked - free parking in DC - we were not pleased. the hotel did apologize and after we checked in had a bottle of wine and other niceties waiting for us in our room.

Nice Art Deco style hotel off Embassy Row in Dupont Circle. Location is a bit farther from the Dupont Circle fountain or Metro stop that was alluded too. Had a kitchenette in the room, but didn't use. Air Conditioning kept room quite cold. Water pressure in the shower was non-existant.

Our room @ the carlyle was great. we had a suite with lots of room and a very comfortable king bed.The soap was really a neat design however it was really yucky. The soap did not smell nice or even feel very good. The kreurig coffee was not replaced after initial use but the room was immaculate and for DC the price was reasonable. We would go there again.

The Carlyle Suites was a decent stay in a decent room at a decent (for Washington, DC) price. To be fair, the Carlyle Suites isn't the kind of hotel I usually enjoy, so others may find it better than I did. There were positive aspects - a great location in Dupont Circle, and the friendliest staff that I've experienced in a hotel in a long time.

Good location, whith parking, perfect for a family.

Hotel is old and needs freshening up. Nevertheless, it is acceptable for a one night stay as it is the most affordable I could find around Embassy Row.

We selected this hotel because it said it included parking. however, they only have a handful of spaces, and it's first come, first served, so...no real parking around a holiday. Also, delayed by weather, and they wouldn't provide a credit for the missed night, or allow us to extend for one day. Finally, our room was next to the elevator, and we heard construction through the elevator shaft early saturday morning. Odd for a holiday weekend. I think that the experience would have been different if the reservation had been made outside of online booking. The staff was nice, but offered nothing once they saw the reservation was through outside third party booking service.

Relatively close to DuPont Circle and metro, plus many ethnic restaurants and small shops nearby on New Hampshire. Our room was a bit small but comfortable. Noted some larger rooms - presumably more expensive. Staff very friendly. Did not try breakfast buffet ($11). Well kept townhouses lining side streets make interesting walk in neighborhood.

There is nothing wrong with this hotel which is a decent place to sleep in what was a slightly out of the way nice residential neighborhood. The hotel is lacking any pizazz/ flair but is a decent place to get a good nights sleep. What I saved on the room rate more than paid for the taxi rides to the D.C. convention center about a ten minute ride away. The room had a alcove dining area and a full mini kitchen. I would stay here again if the price was right.

Large rooms with free WiFi. Kitchenete with small fridge and cooktop. Unfortunately no fan/hood over cooktop, so food odors from adjacent rooms can be unpleasant. Art deco style of room furnishings was interesting but really could use new carpet (well used & dingy). Location, location, location - near Dupont Circle, Metro, Embassy Row, restaurants, shops, and Safeway was best part of our stay Overall an OK place to stay - unless you want something with modern luxuries.
