The Fairfax Continues to be a Great Choice in DC
I have stayed at the hotel a couple of times previously, but probably not within the last 2-3 years. We went to DC for the night to see a show at The Kennedy Center, and The Fairfax is centrally located in DC just off DuPont Circle. We rented a small suite. It had a sitting room with love seat, chair, desk, flat screen, and dresser. The love seat converted to a bed. The bedroom had a king bed and nice size bathroom with marble throughout. We enjoyed the room and the extra space. The room faced Massachusetts Ave, which was noisy until after 2 am. I would opt for a room facing a different direction next time as I would not consider the room very sound proof from the street. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. The lobby check-in area is small and can quickly get crowded. The hotel is close to the Metro station a many restaurants. The Fairfax bar is nice with a clubby feel. My Starwood status was acknowledged at check-in. Note that the valet, which is all that is available, is $40 per night. This seems particularly high as I was just in LA at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills and it only charges $35. The hotel should knock the valet price down a bit. Overall this is a excellent choice for hotels in DC.
