Good Location... Not So Desirable Conditions.

Pros: The Embassy Inn is nicely located in Dupont Circle. The staff was friendly and professional.

Cons: We were changed from one room to another because the WiFi was not working. The room was the tiniest hotel room I've ever been to. The furniture in the room was old, and damaged and there was a mirror 6 inches above the bed. When we changed into our second room the toilet was cracked and again the furniture was old and damaged. The WiFi was a bit better nut nothing to brag about.

Family friendly?....No, but it's certainly "user-f

Pros: Great location, and easy to walk to downtown locations for food and general shopping. Easy access to public bus transportation, and Taxi service. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and "easy on the pocket-book" room rates! One elevator helps with getting to upper level rooms.

Cons: Parking is a problem! There are "no" vending machines for beverages or snacks. There is "no" bellman on duty, at any time. You are on your own as far as luggage, or special requests. No pool, business room, bar, work-out room, or television in the lobby.

good for the money

Pros: The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the linens were fresh.

Cons: The rooms are in bad need of remodeling; one of our windows did not fully close and had tape all over to stop the drafts, there was a hole in the wall in the bathroom, the walls and woodwork had wide cracks in them; Still, I would probably stay there again because the other hotels in DC are much more expensive and this one is good enough for someone who is out on business all day anyway.

Just OK.

Pros: Rooms are a good size. Linens are clean and fresh. Bed and pillows were comfortable.

Cons: Carpets and wallpapers are dingy and dated. Couldn't tell if they were dirty or just old.
