1. They work hard at keeping things lively and fun.
"Best Family Rooms on the Planet! " Read full review on TripAdvisor   5/8/2012 Vote      
2. It is sort of screaming at you in a trying too hard kind of way.
"Needs An Update desperately " Read full review on TripAdvisor   5/7/2012 Vote      
3. Overall, again I can't say enough about the perks around Kimpton, and there is nothing better then someone handing you a glass of free sparkling wine after a hard day of work, but this particular Kimpton could use a few tweaks to make it better.
"Pretty Average Kimpton Property " Read full review on TripAdvisor   3/31/2012 Vote      
4. Smackdab in the 14th Street district, there is plenty of food and some shopping to choose from, although the recession has hit a few smaller boutique stores hard- a cherished chocolate shop closed since our last visit.
"Pop Art Hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor   2/20/2012 Vote      
5. The negatives: no coffee maker in the room, no clue in the room as to how to open the mini-bar (you're supposed to know that you should go down to the front desk and ask for the key), the bathroom is small and not 'luxe,' the water pressure in the shower is low, it is hard to make fine adjustments to the temperature in the shower, and in my room at least the knob for the shower was stuck and I had to have someone from the front desk come up and turn it on.
"Different, fun " Read full review on TripAdvisor   2/2/2012 Vote      
6. I can hardly wait for an opportunity to see if other Kimpton Hotels match the Helix.
"Discover what a hotel can be ... " Read full review on TripAdvisor   1/24/2012 Vote      
7. TV worst complaint - channels hard to navigate.
"Funky Hotel with great location " Read full review on TripAdvisor   1/14/2012 Vote      
8. I have stayed in some of the most prestigious properties in my business travels, which makes me hard to impress.
"THE place to stay in DC!!! " Read full review on TripAdvisor   10/31/2011 Vote      
9. The public areas of the hotel try a little too hard to be hip, but the room was large and clean, the included breakfast was good (bagels, pastries, cereal, yogurt, fruit salad), and there's a lovely outdoor patio that's just right for an al fresco meal or cocktail (though the service crew hadn't cleaned away the dirty ashtrays from the night before).
"The price was right " Read full review on TripAdvisor   7/24/2011 Vote      
10. It is decorated with a bit of a retro funky style, which is hard to describe.
"We really enjoyed our stay. We'll be back " Read full review on TripAdvisor   6/9/2011 Vote
