Hotwire Hotel: 3* DC (Dupont Circle - Embassy Row) The Embassy Row Hotel

I assumed this win would actually be a HomeWood Suites or something, bc The Embassy Row Hotel is listed as a 3.5 in Dupont Circle and I was only looking at the 3 stars. Anyway -- here is the full amenity list:

I am a little nervous bc this hotel appears to be under renovation until "March 2015" so I am hoping they'll be nearly done by the 8th of March.. Yelp reviews are really bad too -- 2.5 out of 5 stars on Yelp. Yelp reviewers also state there is a $9.95 mandatory resort fee for the rooftop pool (closed til June 2015) and the WiFi.

 

The pictures on their website look nice, but who knows how great our stay will be. Location looks good though. I will report back in a month or so!

Sorry to hear that the result is a disappointment. :(

Hope the hotel will exceed expectations and that renovations will not be an issue.

 

Thank you for letting us know about the change in amenity set and star rating for this property so that we can update the site's Hotwire Hotel List.

 

If the pool is closed and was noted as an amenity, I'd contact HOTWIRE and let them know that an advertised amenity isn't available.

 

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches... feel free to ask the board for help before your future opaque purchases.
