Awesome Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/11/08
I travel to D.C. often for work and I have always been in search of THAT hotel that fits my needs---one that is in a convenient location, that is a good value, that is clean and new yet has charm, that has a friendly staff, and one that caters to my needs. Hotel Palomar is the closest I have come.
The location is great---in fact I walked to almost all of my D.C. meetings from the hotel. Also, they have free wifi in the rooms, complimentary cab service from 7:30 to 10am, complimentary gym (can't stand hotels that charge for this), and daily happy hour with complimentary wine.
The standard rooms (deluxe) are not the largest, but they are very well designed and they are just right for one person. They have flat screens, modern bathrooms, edgy decor (I am over the usual hotel look), comfortable beds, and overall I felt very comfortable in the room. My only issue was that it seems like the standard rooms at the hotel face another building (forcing you to close the curtains for privacy) but I didn't really mind that.
I would definitely stay there again and plan on making this one of my regular hotels during my regular trips to the D.C. area.
