This hotel offers an intimate setting in a quiet, residential area nestled amongst embassies and a few blocks from Dupont Circle. The guest rooms are comfortable and well appointed, some are compact. Sleep on Frette bed linen and brew your own espresso with the in room espresso maker. The staff is most accommodating, and a wine hour is held daily 5-6 pm.
Smoke free premises. 75 units. 6 stories, interior corridors.
Pros: Absolutely the most helpful, friendliest staff I've ever seen,
Cons: Slow & sometimes spotty Wifi signal.

Pros: Location was nice. Quiet neighborhood.
Cons: There was no hot water during our stay. We were unable to shower. Had I known I wouldn't be able to shower, I would never have booked. No one apologized or offered any compensation. Tried twice to give feedback but no response from management. Very disappointing.

Pros: Price was good for the location and the amenities. My room was off the street, small and quiet, but with no view to speak of. I liked the fact that the winsows open and one is not subject to the tyranny of central heating.
Cons: The sitting rooms downstairs were a little cramped and in my room there were no shelves on which to place clothing. I am not particularly fond of using a suitcase in lieu of a cupboard for 5 says.

Pros: The staff helped me to feel at home and relaxed after a horrible travel day. The rooms was lovely and well appointed (possibly small for some) The staff went above and beyond offering to put me in a room away from elevator and offering a glass of wine
Cons: I would agree with some who say it is a hike from DuPont Cir. but frankly the level of service and attention is worth it if you want generic high priced hotel service stay somewhere else. No downside that I saw on this visit hope to stay again

Pros: I adore the decor!...mid century modern with a twist of futuristic. The beds were comfortable and the shower great (but if you have an issue stepping up or down you may want to get a handicap room). Lobby beautiful, hotel staff was lovely.
Cons: Limited hooks in the bathroom. I know this may seem minor but when you are staying with more than one person it gets confusing who's towel is laying on the top of the sink. I almost jokingly bought a few command strip hooks and placed them all around the bathroom.

Cons: The only minor issue we had during our stay was that the hotel, and our room itself seemed to be extremely hot. We were unable to properly monitor the temperature in our particular room, but the weather was strange for the time of year we were visiting.

Pros: I liked the friendly staff at the Normandy Hotel especially Chez, Anthony and Kimberly. Check in and out was easy. We checked out at 2:15am and they called us a cab. The Hotel is close to the Dupoint circle Metro red line which takes you directly to Metro Center where one can visit all the Memorials, Museums and the White House. I also love the proximity to restaurants and bars on Connecticut avenue.

Cons: The standard queen room was a little small, but certainly do-able, and absolutely charming!
