I spent 2 nights in September at Hotel Madera near Dupont Circle in Washington DC. It's a fabulous hotel in a fabulous location. The rooms are wonderful, much better than anything in a Marriott or Hilton - plasma screen TV, funky design, great stereo (bring your CDs!), etc. The service left something to be desired - for example, the check in clerk announced, "So you paid for this through hotwire?" when I checked in. Blah. But I would stay again because the hotel itself is so wonderful.

Thanks. Was there some sort of link I should have used to help this site? If so just let me know & I'll use it next time! Actually, as I type, I see the big headline - "Travel Links to Help Support BetterBidding" - oops! I will do better next time!

Thanks so much to this site for giving a list of "likely suspects" for hotwire. I needed a great hotel near Dupont Circle, and really wanted Hotel Madera. But their best price on their website was $139. Got it for $115, I am pleased. Here was the description on the hotwire site:

Dupont Circle - Embassy Row (Downtown)

Selected amenities include: Boutique Hotel, Restaurant(s), High-Speed Internet Access.

Will post a review when I get back.
