Fine for vacation traveler

My experience at the Hotel Monaco was just what I expected--clean, professional, courteous. The staff was friendly, the free airport shuttle a plus, and the nightly wine reception delightful.

Time-saving tip: Long walk from hotel

This hotel is 12 blocks from the nearest Metro station. There is a free King Street shuttle from the the hotel to the metro, so keep this in mind, especially if you plan to use the metro a lot. On the other hand, the hotel is very close to the waterfront area.

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.

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!
