White Marsh Holidays from AU$2,159

The room was so very clean and the lady at the front desk that checked us in was phenomenal! We have to travel to DC often for the MedStar hospital center and this place is perfect for those trips

Clean, luxurious accommodations, perfect location

The rooms are an exceptional and rare blend of comfortable, incredibly well- styled and well-appointed, and clean. The hotel somehow balances having local DC cool neighborhood vibe with a cosmopolitan, sophisticated aesthetic, coupled with a staff that is friendly and helpful. Nice little touches like nespresso machines, cool room lighting, DS & Durga shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, and complimentary Saratoga Springs bottled spring water refreshed every day are also worth noting. There’s a very nice gym, a wonderful restaurant inside the hotel and the location is perfect - situated in one of DC’s most vibrant neighborhoods, DuPont Circle, where you can walk within 5-7 minutes to excellent restaurants, coffee shops, wine bars, bakeries, grocery stores and markets. The DC subway system known as the Metro is also a 7 min walk from the hotel - you can hop on the train and easily get to the downtown world-renowned Smithsonian museums (all free to enter, some require reservations in advance for timing, but still free of charge), or use the Metro to explore other neighborhoods in DC. Within a 15 minute walk, you’ll find other super fun neighborhoods like Logan Circle, U Street Corridor, and Shaw. One more thing — I love where the Lyle Hotel is located - it’s not on a busy commercial city st. next to other hotels and office buildings. It’s tucked in one of the most beautiful residential areas giving it an extra special vibe to come back to after exploring the bustling city

For the property to be considered luxury, a lot of work will need to be done. Upon checking in I noted, the bed linens to be dingy-did not look fresh at all, the carpet was also with smudge, water stains on most surfaces-giving it an unclean appearance. There was a strong sewerage smell through the room and it was very pungent in the bathroom. Overall the room was not at all luxury so lower your expectations while booking. The lobby was not decorated with any Christmas lights or ornaments like most hotel lobbies especially ones that are supposed to be luxe. I went to the restaurant before checking out and there was only one table sitting…the staff uniforms were with stains and because of the lack of ambience and consistent lack of detail throughout my stay, I decided to go to Four Seasons for brunch instead. Rooms need to be refreshed. Get into the details if you want to be a luxury hotel.

room was great, bed was comfy - room was very clean, quiet. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Dinner was "meh" (quality of food/value for price) - all else was fantastic!
