The rooms were good, albeit a bit on the cluttered side which sort of adds to the character. Staff were friendly, but one didn’t really feel they were going out of their way to help. My only real complaint was the air-con which was incredibly noisy. In summary, a bit expensive for what it is, hardly memorable, not as convenient... More

I have to say that I share many reviews on this site. We are back from a 4-night stay, paid on starpoints. On top of this, we use the Platinum Upgrade Awards (a new amenity from SPG) to secure an upgrade in a deluxe suite. Let me be clear: the room was fantastic, charming, with luxurious sheets, and most of... More

We have stayed at the Fairfax on several occasions, both for business and for pleasure. It is a smaller hotel, which we enjoy. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The rooms are large and airy. The location is perfect - just a little off of Dupont Circle, so it's not too busy but within seconds you can get anywhere you... More

I took my significant other on a much needed weekend away. Here goes: 1. We arrived and immediately, I was hit with a rude, short Bellman. He didn't speak or say, "Welcome to The Fairfax at Embassy Row". He started writing down my license plate and asked for my keys. I was stunned. No professionalism at all. 2. There is... More

Stayed here for two nights recently for the ending of our around the world travel adventure on The Global Scavenger Hunt. The lobby is small, but the bar area and restaurant are large as are rooms. The staff was welcoming and helpful...close to Dupont Circle and Metro (a sad state of affairs there!) A great value... More

I quite liked this hotel. Pretty comfortable overall. Close to the metro, and lots of fun food and strolling options in Dupont. Also, a nice 20 minute walk to Metro Center on a temperate day. There are a few things though that make it fall just short of an A. First, they either seem to have way too many people... More

My husband and I were planning a long-awaited vacation to DC. Checking many sites, the Fairfax was on our short list. AAA.com had a price of $65/night (you read that right!). I called the hotel, they said book it. I called AAA.com, they said book it, the online price is guaranteed. So we booked it and hoped all went well.... More
