Nice hotel, but the iron left black rust on my white shirt. Also, the drains were stopped up, the toilet ran, the clock batteries were dead, and the hotel encouraged immorality.
When i booked this reservation, i paid "room, taxes and fees" at the time of reservation. In the fine print, I later found that on arrival I had to pay an additional $21.10 "resort fee". This place is no resort. It amounted to a fee that was supposedly for use of the fitness room, wifi, etc. Nothing special. On checkout, i complained and did get them to remove it from my bill. I think Orbitz should make this fact much more prominent in your booking information.
All in all, very good stay. standard room is definitely standard -- fairly small, no bathtub, no view. Good mattress however.
they messed up our sleeping arrangements but they fixed it the day after other than that location great and beautiful views atleast it was in our room on the 8th floor
overall fine hotel with nice amenities. however room heating and AC system quite loud.
We went to the women's march and it was my firat visit to D.C. I have to say the staff was beyond amazing. The hotel was great, room was clean, bed was comfy, shower quiet. I couldn't have asked for a better stay! And to top it off they sent a thank you card signed by the staff and a box of truffles to thank us for our stay. Have to say it, embassy has a customer for life!
Whitney was an excellent hotel staffer made me feel wonderful during my stay, we even had a fire emergency during our stay and whitney handled the whole fire procedure perfectly and made me feel safe and welcomed thank you embassy row and whitney!! I will recommend to all my friends to stay at this hotel if they visit DC!!!!!!!
The recently renovated Embassy Row hotel offers nice accommodations in an excellent location. The hotel is clean and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Internet connection is very good.
Every once in a while you find a great deal on a hotel you have wanted to try. This nicely remodeled older hotel is in the heart of DuPont Circle, just one block from the Metro. That makes is convenient to almost anything you want to do in DC. It has a tasteful mid-century modern feel, and very comfortable beds. To find it for under $100 is a real steal.
Loved the remodel - The hotel was beautiful and modern. I love the Decour. The staff was super friendly and very helpful when we were asking about places to go in DC. We were conveniently located to the metro and we walk to many of the attractions around DC.
I had a great time the roof top pool and great! Check in was quick and the staff was kind.
I arrive late at the hotel due to delays in flight. Left early in the morning. Good room for the four hours of sleep I had. Staff in the front desk was very helpful and friendly despite the late hour.
I'm a business traveler and stay in hotels about 60 nights per year. This hotel was very average with a few problems. On the plus side, it was clean and the staff was great. On the negative side, the rooms are quite small for the price. For example, there was no room for a chair and the closet was so tiny I had to take out the ironing board and prop it against the wall just to make enough room to hang a couple things. Speaking of the ironing board, the cover was all bunched up so it was pretty much impossible to iron a shirt on it. My other complaint is that the central air was extremely loud - I couldn't hear TV, make a phone call or sleep while the heat was on. So I had to shut it off for the night which made for a pretty cold morning. It was the kind of place that was ok just to sleep and leave, but I wouldn't want to spend more than a night there.
They charge $50 for valet parking. When calling for the car they do not answer. I had to go down to the garage to get the car myself. I was late for three meetings. When I pointed the problem to the front desk a lady responded. "You should call another number than to valet parking" ....The staff seemed very unapologetic.
Great little hotel sleek design, great menu in restaurant and super nice staff. Hated the stairs in the entry but it can't be helped.
Travelled for business and brought the hubby, so a pool and great location were critical. Pool opened on Memorial Day weekend and it was great. The location is perfect! Rooms are small, wifi was ok and service was minimalist. However, it was a great selection and both the hubby and myself were happy.
For the most part this hotel was very nice and a great location for my needs. The negatives were that we were right by the elevator and the loud party goers on a Saturday night were constantly making noise coming on and off the floor. Second, is that we had a handicapped bathroom and for my 6' tall husband those handicap showers just don't cut it. This is the 2nd time I have booked with this travel website in recent months where we have been given a handicapped bathroom, so this will have to be taken into consideration if I decide to book with them again. The biggest win for the hotel is that I am 7 1/2 months pregnant and requested extra pillows, the concierge wasn't certain there were extras available, but in the end they delivered 2 big pillows for me!
Checked in for four nights with no expectations. The whole trip I was pleasantly surprised by how convenient everything was. If you are looking for a good location you will find that here. The metro is so close and lots of things are walking distance. If you are looking to relax, the rooftop pool was the most amazing experience. If you are a foodie, there are so many places to explore. Great hotel!
Afternoon front desk manager was the friendliest guy and really cared about giving me a good stay, but the room was never cleaned despite repeated requests to housekeeping staff from front desk. I give the front desk staff and bellmen top marks. All in all, not a bad hotel.

Thank you for staying with us and for your review. We sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding regarding our Hotel Amenity Fee. We work hard with all of our booking partners to ensure this is clearly communicated. On Orbitz, it is listed right below the rate when you click to book. Each site calls it something different, but our Hotel Amenity Fee includes wifi, phone calls, access to the rooftop pool and bar, fitness center, business center, underground playground and 10% off Food and Beverage. Our offer to waive the fee was a gesture of goodwill and we do hope you will give us the opportunity to regain your trust in our service.

Thank you for your detailed review, Lolo. We will look into the door noise as we should be able to minimize that. Our hotel has different room sizes and most of our rooms actually do have bath tubs. Our room types are generally sold by rate and view. Our creative team thanks you for your business and looks forward to serving you again. Our rooftop pool and bar re-opens in May, which is always a fun time!
