“Convenience & amenities with great Comfort, Service & MORE !!!!!”

Great location with easy access to all of DC. The rooms are spacious and have kitchenettes with coffee makers, refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, and cookware, which is a big plus for quick breakfasts, light meals, snacks, and cold drinks. It also makes it easy to celebrate with drinks and snacks. Service is excellent. The dog-friendly policy is great for bringing our dog along, including him in our outings and activities, and saving a lot on dog sitter costs. My partner and I are regulars for both leisure and business stays. Definitely recommend this place!

“Great Friendly Hotel in Dupont Circle”

I stay at the Carlyle Suites Hotel several times a year. The hotel is in the center of Dupont Circle on beautiful New Hampshire Ave. It's a three-block walk to the DC Metro and just around the corner from the famous 17th Street, DC's gay district with gay bars, lounges, and restaurants. The rooms are spotless. They all have flat-screen TVs, Tempur-Pedic beds, and allow pets at no extra charge. They even give free daily passes to the Washington Sports Club! Great value!
