“Hotel Madera has a very helpful, friendly staff. It's a short walk to the Metro Station -- we handed our car to the valet and didn't use it until we checked out. The room was very nice, clean, and attractive, with an office area, an exercise bike, and a dressing area, yet the bathroom was tiny -- fine if you're by yourself, but a little difficult for our family of four. The Sunday brunch at the hotel's restaurant was very tasty, but service was slow for those of us who were anxious to go sightseeing, not lounge around as many people might. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.”

“Beautiful, stylish hotel in the heart of Dupont Circle. Within walking distance of Connecticut Ave. and all it has to offer. Not close to Metro, but great if you want to get away from the typical business/conference hotel. Truly a place to relax. Plug your I-Pod into the clock radio or bring your CDs for the in room stereo.”

“Great overall hotel - upscale bath products and bedding. Our room was large. Free evening wine, cookies/milk, and morning coffee/tea were all pleasant surprises. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming.”

“Very nice hotel with friendly staff in a great location. There were many places to eat within a few blocks, the metro was close, and the room was spacious.”

“If you want to stay here in the center of DC, this is a cheap place and close to subway (Near Dupont center). But I would be a good idea to not bring your car with you, because it's not easy to find parking spot outside. You need to pay for 10 $ for parking during daytime. If you need to park at night (Valet 35$) or park outside.”

“This Hotel seemed to appeal to the more modern and hip demographic, but there were standard amenities that were absent that really make this a 2-star Hotel. There was no lounge, even though they had a complimentary wine hour. So guests could go downstairs and get their glass of wine, but had to take it up their room or drink it in the tiny lobby, standing in front of the desk clerk. There was simply no lounge whatsoever. There was no sliding chain lock on the door of the room, something that was very concerning. Also, the cleaning staff failed to identify themselves when knocking on the door, and went ahead and opened the door while we were getting out of the shower, even though it was 9 am (checkout time is noon). Also, one of the towels was a bit stained--lending a certain one-star-hotel feel to the experience. There were some other slight annoyances that were cleared up with a phone call, but just should not have occurred. I would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone. There really is no excuse for the lack of standard hotel amenities in any hotel in Washington D.C.”

“The hotel was very attractive and had great perks, like wine at 5:30 and milk and Oreo at 10:30. The staff was very professional and friendly; a great place to stay!”

“On the bright side, the rooms were clean; the hotel is centrally located, with free internet, and friendly staff. However, the rooms were relatively small and the bed and chairs were not particularly comfortable. Overall, a good place to stay.”

“Very noisy hotel, they keep on playing music even during the night! Very hard to relax! Valet parking, you must wait for a long time to have your car.”

“Overall, Madera hotel was a great experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious. The four of us felt like we were home on our five night stay. I would definitely stay here again. The metro was a couple blocks away which made easy access to all the DC area had to offer. Great hotel!”

“The hotel exceeded my expectations. It is a fancy hotel with beautiful rooms. The restaurant is trendy and has wonderful food. They have complementary wine during certain hours, which happened to be when we came in. Certainly a nice warm welcome.”

“Great hotel; definitely exceeds the 3 star rating. Very trendy with great location! Only negative I can think of is the fact that the valet parking is very expensive, but you can put your car away for $10 a day and leave it there (you won't need it!).”

“Fabulous location; large, gorgeous rooms; complimentary internet; complimentary wine in the evening, coffee in the morning. I did not like that I had to request a coffee maker for my room (should be standard equipment in a hotel of this quality), and that they only brought one coffee packet (most hotels supply three -- two regular, one decaf). Sure, they served fresh complimentary coffee, but only in the morning, and only in the lobby (which means getting dressed and looking presentable). Otherwise, no complaints.”

“The Hotel Madera is ideally located near the Dupont Circle Metro and many restaurants and bars in DC. Interesting, safe neighborhood. The lobby is very small but offers snacks from wine at 5pm to afternoon apples to cookies at night. Unfortunately, the hotel ran out of 2-bed rooms (though we had called to request one a few days in advance) and put us in the "Cardio Suite" which featured a treadmill (not useful in 95 degree DC weather). Also, the hotel ran out of DC maps and I had to go to another hotel in the area to get one. Nice feature was that they give you an option of what newspaper you would like - had the choice of the Sunday NYT or the Sunday Washington Post. The Firefly restaurant off the lobby is great, very cute, trendy, and clearly popular with actual DC residents and not just hotel guests. Also, note that hotel does not offer 24-7 room service.”
