It was my 1st visit to the nation's capital & my cousin was the one who booked this one, since she said this was a 4* hotel. The lobby was nice, classy, The room was on the small side. Staff was friendly. Location was good.

What a fantastic hotel. I was here for a conference and had the best time. The service from the front desk to the concierge, bellmen, housekeeping, all were great. They made my stay very welcome. I especially loved the massage chair in the room. The location was also great, near metro and Dupont circle. Overall I would say this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in DC and will only stay here in the future. The only minor negative I have was that there are no ice machines, but each day I called for ice and it was brought to my room in about 5 minutes.

Since I booked through Priceline, I got my hotel room at a huge discount ($125.00 per night!), so the fact that we had no coffee pot or hair dryer is really not that big of a deal. We did have this great full body massge chair that was so nice after a day of walking! The bar was cozy and fairly priced, but the best thing is the location, well within walking distance to the National Mall. The beds were great, the room was pretty clean and updated, and the staff was very nice, especially the door men/concierge. Had I paid full price for this hotel, I would have a little more complaining to do, but overall, it was a pretty good deal and I would stay there again for that price.

I stayed in the Madison with my four year old daughter and 18 year old cousin for a weekend. It was a leisure trip to see the sights and go to the zoo. We absolutely loved this hotel.

The room was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and the amenities in our room included: a human touch massage chair from the sharper image, an iHome iPod dock/alarm clock, all the lamps had electrical outlets in them which was very convenient for charging cell phones, laptops, and what have you, the shampoo, conditioner, and soap samples were already conveniently placed within the shower. The bed was very comfortable, and the large flat panel tv was very nice. Overall an excellent room.

The staff in this establishment are incredible. Everyone was unbelievably kind and helpful, and we found most services were prompt and thorough. The room service was expensive, but isn't it always pricey? We had breakfast in our room the first morning, and everything was great - the food and the service.

I highly recommend this hotel.
