The building itself is very cool , it’s an old post office. It is directly across from this Smithsonian, American art gallery, and the Washington Arena a block and a half from Chinatown about five blocks or so from the convention center ,very nice location. Our room has a lion head bas relief Over the bed, which is kind of different!!!! Shower was nice and strong. My deluxe king had a little desk with a lamp and a nice roommate closet. There is a folding mirror in the bathroom for make up and nice toiletries. The bathrobes did not exist but there is a yoga mat . The room is very quiet, even though we’re on the first floor Facing seventh Street.

You have to ask for the coffee maker as opposed to it just being in the room.

Location proximity to everything was awesome. Bed was comfy. Shower was spacious, hot water, good pressure. I couldn’t bring bowls and bed for my puppy because we flew, so the hotel brought those to the room for us.

It’s pet friendly but there should be some information upon booking letting guests with pups know, there is no grass anywhere around hotel so these suburbia pups can be confused learning how to relieve themselves on the street. The pull out sofa was not flat and was not possible to sleep on so my son had to end up sleeping on the couch without pulling the bed out so that was inconvenient for a 5 night stay.

The Kimpton Hotel Monaco is located in the Penn Quarter area of Washington, DC, surrounded by restaurants, museums, theaters and a major sports arena. It's a beautifully restored historic building with a very cozy (and popular) lobby, and a well-reviewed restaurant and bar. It's a very short walk from the hotel to the DC subway system (the Metro) and the area is quite walkable. The room I stayed in (an essential queen room) was pretty spacious and stylishly furnished, with a desk and chair, an upholstered chair, a bench at the foot of the queen bed, and a large wardrobe with full-length mirrors, a small refrigerator and a safe. There were 2 comfy bathrobes in the closet. The bathroom had a tub-shower combination and was scrupulously clean. The room had various lighting options (floor lamp, desk lamp, bedside lamps, etc.), many electrical outlets and nice large windows.

My room was a very long walk from the lobby. The building is basically a large square with very wide corridors; my room was close to an exit to the outside, but not as convenient to get back to the lobby where free morning coffee was served (no coffee maker in the room). That wasn't a real problem but might be of interest to potential guests. The bathroom had large-sized shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles and a bar of soap, which was fine, but also a small tube of lotion that I honestly could not manage to get any lotion out of despite shaking it vigorously. Maybe a large bottle of lotion with a pump might be nicer? Otherwise no complaints!

We came to DC at morning and called up the hotel to ask if we can checked in early and they give us the room without extra charge, so we came at 9:30 So appreciate it! It made our trip

No water or coffee machine in the room, at evening I called front desk and they bring 4 bottles of water, but at morning (about 8 am) I called to ask a cup of coffee (there was a note on a desk if you need coffee to the room just call front desk) and they declined cause there was no body to bring it to me. There is a bad smell in the room, prime something old

I liked that it was super close to the capital one arena and how I was able to bring my dogs with me and now having to worry about a pet deposit. They also had dog beds for my dogs which was awesome! The room was super clean and the staff was AWESOME.

There really was not any grass for the dogs so if you have dogs that are only used to going in the grass you may have an issue. You also have to understand that his hotel is in the city so it is pretty understandable why they do not.

The hotel was wonderful the aesthetics of the hotel made me love it even more. I went to a concert at the capital one arena and all I had to do was walk across the street so easy! Finding a place to eat was within. Walking distance of I didn’t want to eat at the hotel I just loved everything about this hotel . The staff was so amazing everyone was beautiful

There is nothing to dislike

Check in was excellent and the room was nicer than I expected. Food at the restaurant was good and had a fairly extensive menu.

I was surprised at the parking fee. Based on the website, I expected a $40 daily fee. I was not thrilled by this charge but planned for it. When I checked out I was then assessed a parking fee of about $60 or $65 per night.

Location was great, walked across the street to the capital one arena for our concert. Rooms were huge and had lots of charm. Staff friendly. Food incredible. We'll be back!

Clearer parking options. I ended up using the valet service, but if i didn't, I wasn't really sure where to go for parking. There are parking garages nearby, but they all seemed full.

Location was amazing, staff was super friendly and the hotel was very clean. We would stay there again. Very dog friendly and understanding of our little nervous pup.

I wish that there were some drink vouchers like other IHG hotels we've stayed at. The bar is super pricey, even the happy hour prices were high. Also, I wish they would have mentioned that we could have gotten a dog bed delivered to the room, I didn't know until after I left and saw it on their site.

Excellent location. Historic beautiful building. Free bike rentals.

Hotel was overbooked when we arrived and did not have the room type I had reserved. inner courtyard restaurant is noisy.
