Residence Inn Washington, DC / Dupont Circle

Very close to Dupont metro that we used every day. We walked to Georgetown and Lincoln memorial. Great service, good breakfast

Mixed review on this place due to our experience each day. Worth reading if you enjoy a peaceful breakfast each morning, you will not get it here. Our family stayed here for 6 nights over spring break. Great convenient location to everything. Front desk staff and management were very friendly and helpful. The frustrating thing that overwhelmingly agitated us every morning was an employee working in the breakfast area. I have stayed at many different Marriott properties around the world and U.S., but never have I witnessed an employee treat guests and families the way their one employee did every morning. This behavior was so odd, you can’t make this stuff up. My first interaction with her was when I was about to make a waffle in their waffle maker and she ran up and grabbed the cup out of my hand and tells me that I’m doing it wrong and there’s too much waffle batter in the cup, proceeds to tell me that this will create a mess that she will have to clean up. I bit my tongue and didn’t say a word, even though I’ve been making waffles with these machines probably longer than she’s been alive. When it was done she was hovering over the machine and didn’t want me to get MY food out of it, so I walked over and I looked at her and said - I can get it, she huffed and turned around and stormed off. It wasn’t just me though, she did this for everybody trying to make a waffle no matter what age. Meanwhile she’s not paying attention to the fact that the eggs and other items were empty, being too worried about directing people how get food. It was borderline rudeness and I could tell it agitated a lot of guests, by the look on their faces other guests were feeling the same way about this that we were. This was just the beginning of our daily agitating experience with this worker. A few minutes later she comes into what was a nice quiet dining area, and yells this “ok ladies and gentlemen, we are going to play a game, it’s called help me help you, the way you play this game is that you take your paper products to the trash can over there and leave the plates and silverware for me, I don’t want to throw away your paper products this is your job!” We were all in disbelief. We really like to start our mornings with a quiet relaxing breakfast where we can sit and sip our coffee and be greeted and treated nicely by staff, but this was on another level of insanity. It happened EVERY morning, to the point where we stopped spending much time there, ate and left as fast as possible. It’s not the way to start your day when on vacation. Very surprised management let this occur but they seemed unphased by it. Even when we were getting regular food items, she was hovering over us and all other guests every morning barking orders, to which I tried my best to ignore so I could have a moment of ease in the morning. This behavior never slowed down or changed, each morning until the day we left. It left us sour on this location, and we would definitely look to stay elsewhere on the next trip to DC. 4 stars overall bc you can’t punish an entire location for one persons unprofessionalism.

We stayed one night so we could arrive early at consulate nearby. The location is extremely convenient to Embassy Row which is only a few blocks away. Parking is under the hotel and easy enough to access, and it seemed vert safe. The evening staff that checked me in were helpful and kind. The breakfast was amazing, beyond anything I've seen at a Residence Inn. Not only was the food selection and quality great, but the there were servers walking around serving croissants and muffins. The rooms could use a renovation, but the bedding and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The value was in location and service which was 5-star at a 3-star price. This will definitely be my go to hotel for this area moving forward.

An-ghar do metro agus lámh le dhá shiopa leabhar. Neart tithe tábhairne agus bialann in aice lámha. Bhí bricfeasta an-mhaith ar fáil gach maidin.

Bhí sé glórach istoíche.

Nice place, good location, and staff. But they need to offer better price/options for parking and have more food for breakfast, if you can’t have breakfast early morning you want to find all the options available…
