What a great hotel with a quirky theme. Loved the stay. Comfortable bed, lots of outlets for our electronics and even had two power ports with two USB charging ports. The staff was always caring. Far from just the normal "hello" or "good morning/evening". As an InTouch member, I got to pick two items up to $10 in value from... More

This hotel is awesome. It is the perfect location, nestled on a tree-lined street in the cool neighborhood of Logans Circle. Our room was extremely large and quiet and was a great place to flop after a day of walking the sites of DC. Don't miss the free (but tip for sure!) 5-6 cocktail hour where you can meet others...

Very convenient location and an unusual (decor) place to stay. I Have stayed here numerous times (and at other DC Kipmton properties) and have never had a disappointing stay. The rooms have a very 70's (love the Pez in the mini bar) which I enjoy. Why stay in a boring room when you can feel a little more out there... More

Our stay at the Hotel Helix was terrific. From the moment we (my wife, 14 month-old son and I) arrived, the staff was attentive and helpful and got us checked in as quickly as they could and the expedience with which we were checked in and shown to our room was appreciated.

Wonderful location and a fun place to stay, a combination that makes for a great time in DC. I Have stayed here numerous times and have never been disappointed.

This hotel has two very good things going for it - its location and its price. The location, halfway between Dupont Circle and Logan Circle, is incredibly close to a host of DC sites and restaurants but it's tucked into a residential street, making it especially endearing. I have stayed in DC dozens of times for various reasons, and I... More
