Great Hotel (First Impression Means A Lot)
Recently stayed at the Palomar with my husband and 9 year old son. It was our first trip to DC so we wanted it to be a memorable trip. Hotel Palomar certainly lived up to its reputation of a first class hotel. When booking the hotel room we had requested a room on a pet free floor because our son has allergies. We stayed in a double executive queen room, which was very modern and spacious. Only problem we had was it was a connecting room with a thin door in between. Housekeeping and room service staff were very pleasant. Palomar is not only pet friendly it is child friendly. They offer a large cookie and juice or milk at no charge once a day when the child calls rooms service.This became the highlight of the hotel stay for my son. We also requested a fridge in our room and was charged $15 for the week. This was handy to have to put water, soda, juice and snacks in. It saved us a lot of money and time when setting off on our daily trips. Palomar location is perfect for the metro. When we travel we usually have to take a cab from the airport to the hotel. We took the metro very easily from Reagan Airport to Dupont Circle. There are also a lot of great restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance of the hotel. In the early evening make sure you go to a bar or restaurant with "Happy Hour" Most places have a short menu but offer 50% off the regular price. Palomar's "Happy Hour"had oysters for a dollar with a few other items. Finally front staff were attentive and professional on the check in and check out. We are already planning our next trip to DC and of course Hotel Palomar.
