Great location. No complaints.
Convenient to Dupont Circle Metro stop. 24-hour CVS nearby for late night water run. Le Pain Quotidien nearby for nice early morning breakfast. Valet parking was $40 but worth it. They were prompt and pleasant. Room was perfectly sized for a one-night stay. Nice fluffy pillows. Soft sheets. No complaints. Will stay again!

I expected more....
Our king-size bed completely filled our room - there was not much space left for walking. It was so tight that the bathroom door almost hit the closet door. The valet parking was pricey but I expected that. I did not expect to have to pay $12.95 a day for an internet connection. A 5 star hotel should not 'nickel and dime' you - the corner cafe offers a free connection with a cup of coffee!!

Old world service, modern amenities.
We had a very pleasant one night stay at this elegant little hotel a block away from DuPont Circle. The staff has been well-schooled in the old world art of hospitality. They have the balance just right -- genuinely warm but professional, without going overboard and invading your privacy.

Hotel staff was very nice and helpful. Although not the greatest view from our room, it wasnt like we were there much during the day.

Great Classic Hotel and Excellent Location
The hotel was well kept and in a great location. Management has also done an excellent job restoring the classic interior. However, although I appreciated the classic historical design, it was frustrating that wifi was not provided for in the individual hotel rooms.

We'll be going back!
We loved the Fairfax - the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful, the room was very clean, quiet. and updated. The hotel is situated about 2 blocks from the metro and across the street from the Phillips Art Gallery. A beautiful neighborhood - within easy walking distance of Dupont Circle with great shopping and restaurants. My only disappointment was the breakfast buffet. It consisted of some tired scrambled eggs and bacon and was pricey. However, it wouldn't be difficult to find a nearby restaurant for breakfast.

A night at the Fairfax
I enjoyed a one night get away at the Fairfax. We were looking for simple elegance at a reasonable price and we were not disappointed. Location was convenient and elegant, on Embassy Row. Rooms were comfortable, clean and nicely furnished. We caught some snacks and drinks at the lounge, which also provided ambience and comfort that we were looking for. I lovely evening in a lovely venue.

Excellent Location and Quality
Enjoyed the hospitality and courtesy of everyone working at this hotel. It is beautiful and located in a nice area filled with good restaurants, shops, and a close Metro stop. Will stay here any time we return to DC.

Great location
The staff could not have been more accomodating. Our every need was met. The room was spotless and the linens and toiletries were of the finest quality. We were truly pampered. The neighborhood was charming. We had a whirlwind visit and participated in the Restore Sanity Rally. We would highly recommend staying at the Fairfax Hotel.
