We were attending a conference at the Marriott, Wardman Park. That hotel was overbooked. I chose the Palomar because of the great reviews I read on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. It was an easy 10 minute cab ride to our conference, or you can opt for the metro. The executive king was very large and comfortable, spacious bathroom... More

The hotels front desk staff is specially nice and friendly. There are three lifts and they are little slow. We did not use the SPA so we can not rate it. The wine tasting which is free at five each day is fun and we talked to many nice hotel guest that gave us tips for our to do list.

Loved the super size bed , so comfy . The bathroom layout was a little strange , lots of counter... More

Every single person was beyond nice to us, from the person at check in, who upgraded us to a presidential suite, to the maid who offered us towels galore! The free wine... More

It can be interesting what you can learn from your experiences travelling. On this occasion I found a first class example of how a really exception service recovery can change the way you feel about a trip and why it well worth spending the time to feedback in detail to an hotel on what you feel about a stay. Having... More

Me and my husband stopped here for two nights at the start of our honeymoon. We had never been to DC before but were so happy we ended up at this hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the location was good (we walked downtown, round all the big sites and walked back again in one day), and... More
