great spot
Have stayed here before and chose to return. The wine hour is always well attended. I went to the pool. While it is beautiful--it is way dark up there. More lights would be helpful My shower/tub faucet was a little cantankerous, but engineering showed up immediately to fix it.

Large comfy room, lovely marble bathroom
We stayed in a king deluxe room. The location is perfect. Many restaurants and bars within walking distance. 15-20 minute drive to DC. Hotel rooms are very clean and one of the biggest rooms I've stayed in. Bed was very comfortable. Large marble bathroom. The heated indoor swimming pool on the third floor was a major plus. Definitely check it out if you are bored of the "classic" hotel look.

I ate a late dinner at the attached restaurant...can't remember the name of it, but I had an amazing seared trout with spinach and shrimp on top. I made a happy plate.

Not as good as past experiences...
I've stayed a number of times for business and enjoyed my stay. However, during my most recent stay the A/C wasnt working so I called for service...no one ever showed up and finally at 10pm with a meeting in the morning I went to bed- uncomforatble! Very dissapointed!

Happy Traveler
Beautiful hotel - DELICIOUS restaurant!
My husband and I had a lovely second anniversary stay at the Hotel Monaco. From the friendly doormen who greeted us to the detailed decorating in our clean and welcoming room, I felt like someone else had thought through the details for my stay so I could just relax and enjoy our vacation. If you visit, make sure to check out the accompanying restaurant, Jackson 20. We had the Eggs Chesapeake and the Tall Stack (pancakes, REAL maple syrup, bacon, and hash browns)... Both of which were incredibly delightful and satisfying. The best breakfast we've had while traveling for quite a while!

A Pleasant stay, definetly return.
Hotel is in a good location if traveling to DC. There is a free trolley service that runs in the early afternoon to the metro station. The rooms are comfortable, but they need to turn their mattresses over because if your in a King size bed you may find yourself sleeping in a "ditch". Our son slept in the lounge chair because of its novelty but the hotel provided us with a roll-away bed when we asked. The hotel pool on the third floor was fine but the only hiccup was that it is closed from 11-2pm. The area has a large selection of restaurants surrounding the hotel so no problem getting a bite to eat. Complementary morning coffee was a plus. A Good Choice for all type of travel, even if you bring your dog. Really enjoyed our trip.

A very good and reasonable seafood restaurant one block from the hotel; The Fish Market. We went twice during Holy Week and enjoyed our meals.

Great experience
I really loved this hotel. There were wine tastings every night from 5pm-6pm. The decorations were incredible, the rooms were nice, sized just right for business. There were two robes wonderfully hanging in the closet and a flat screen tv with a great picture. I looked forward to going back to the room after a day of meetings.
