The Normandy Hotel

The hotel is a very charming alternative large, chain hotels.. I was attending a conference a mile away, and I found this hotel to be a welcome retreat from the chaos and impersonal experience of conference hotels. The staff is incredibly gracious and helpful, the rooms comfortable, and the location very convenient. I was initially concerned that there was no fitness room, but they provide guest passes to a club a very short distance away that provided a far better selection of fitness options than standard hotels.

Great neighborhood, convenient location, clean comfortable room.

The place is located close to the embassies. Quiet neighborhood but no on street parking. The hotel has a garage and doesn’t charge for in/out. Most of the garages in the area don’t allow in/out. The staff were ok, happy hour was just ok not very good wine and rooms were clean,

On a first night, the battery in our smoke detector died causing the alarm to sound off for hours into the night, illegal to tamper with smoke detector and nobody was at front desk til nearly 7am after almost 3 hours of smoke detector alarms finally someone came up to assist us.

Constant slamming of doors starting at 6AM made the walls and the headboard shake. Room was on the ground floor.
