This hotel is in a wonderful area about six long blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro. It is a pleasant walk to the Metro and all of the Dupont Circle restaurants. The staff at the hotel was friendly and helpful and the check in process very quick. The room itself was quite small with little natural light. The room seemed to be in need of refurbishment as the wall coverings were in disrepair and the carpet stained. The wireless internet worked great.

They offer wine and cheese on Tuesday nights but I was disappointed to find the cheese and wine served with Saltine crackers. Overall the hotel is above average but not by much.

If price is a big concern then this is the place to stay. I paid only $99 a night for a seven night stay which is much lower than other hotels in the area.

Unobtrusive externally, but pleasant exterior in a good neighbourhood - embassies and other quality properties. Walkable to Dupont Circle. Exceptionally pleasant, efficient and helpful desk staff. Room not large but really nicely presented, with a decent bathroom, coffee and a fridge. Free tea and coffee are permanently on offer in the dining area behind reception, and a really nice touch was the Tuesday night cheese and wine reception which gives you the chance to mingle with fellow guests. I got an exceptional 2 night deal at $117p.n. incl taxes, which I guess was a limited offer and/or just mid-week. Exceptional value for money. The only downside was the front desk recommendation to take the open top bus tour, which should have been great - but they don't have enough buses and I gave up waiting in the end and walked most of the circuit (a LONG walk!) They obviously have a commercial interest in this tie up, and in future I'd try another bus company.... or take a cab!

Overall, I highly recommend Jurys.

My son and I spent two nights at this lovely, small hotel near Dupont Circle. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood seven blocks north of the Metro. Very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived flustered after spending an awful two hours on the SuperShuttle from BWI, and Odette, the desk clerk was warm, welcoming and immediately offered to help us find another way to the airport. (Take Metro and Marc train from Union Station.) She was also a great source of info on places to eat that were good and affordable. The windows in the room opened - a feature I love for the fresh air.

My husband and I stayed at the Normandy for 2 nights following a hectic 5 days in New York and what a stay we had. We booked a double queen room with the most comfortable bed either of us had ever slept in. The bathroom was large and spacious and all the accessories you would need for a short-stay.

The hotel is located in residential area but is close enough to all the main tourist areas with easy access to the hop-on/hop-off City Tour (in fact it leaves you back at a hotel across the street) which is great after a hard day walking around.

We did not partake of the breakfast available but the eating areas and library in the lobby were very nicely decorated with comfy chairs - had we been staying longer we would have availed ourselves of these services. All the staff were friendly and helpful and we highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Washington DC.
