My wife and I stayed at the Madera this past weekend while escaping to DC for our first trip without the kids in this millennium. We had a great stay at the Madera. It's location is very convenient to all of the happenings in Dupont Circle and not a bad walk to all of the major monuments and museums. The... more

I visit DC regularly but this was my first stay at the Madera. Overall, I would give this hotel high marks. The staff was extremely friendly and the location right off of Dupont Circle was very convenient. The room showed a little bit of age but was nicely appointed and beautifully decorated in a very upscale fashion. Many of the... more

We only stayed for one night but wished we had more time. It was our first time staying in a hotel with our dog (she is a 2 yr. old lab) and we were nervous. Hotel Madrea was more than welcoming with a bowl of water waiting for the dog and a compliementary glass of wine for us! Can not... more

After a long drive from New York City in a stressful rainstorm, we checked into the Madera Hotel and, suddenly, all of our worries immediately went away. The hotel staff is extremely nice and they appeared to be genuinly happy to see us. Our room, on the 6th floor was spacious, clean and pleasantly decorated. Our room featured two wonderful... more

Stay there for a night. Got a great deal on Hotwire. Check in was fast and the front desk people were very professional and very helpful. The room was spacious, well lit and clean; it was decorated in a modern style, and it had a separate area with a desk, great for working in the room. Two very comfortable beds,... more

Had a great stay here. Was in town on business and needed something close to Dupont Circle. Staff was very friendly. Room was humongous and, as requested had exercise equipment in it. Complimentary Starbucks coffee in the am, and wine in the evening (though I didn't make it back early enough for this on most nights). Free high speed internet... more

DuPont Circle is the place to be - close to the metro and in a semi-residential, therefore quiet neighborhood. We were offered a large corner room (804) with 2 Queen beds and a balconey - handy for checking the weather each day before venturing out. Using AAA membership we got the price down from $340 to $199. My advice would... more

This is a fantastic place to stay for a weekend in DC! Check their website for special prices. This was our second stay at this hotel. One of the things I like about it is the non-standard room layout - certainly not a cookie-cutter hotel room! Our room on the 8th floor had a small foyer with a closet (and... more

The Madera does not really qualify as a three-star hotel. Several oversights bring this one down, including the lack of any kind of lounge. While I appreciate the economy of space a city forces upon a building, I have never seen a 3-star hotel that did not have some sort of lounge or parlor. The closest thing that qualified was... more
