Dupont Hotel or Omni Shoreham???

Hi everyone! I have a reservation at the Omni Shoreham for the end of April already but I%26#39;m keeping an eye out for better deals until then. I found a great deal for our dates at the Dupont Hotel. It%26#39;s a little more than the Omni but it seems like the location is much better. Anyone know how close it is to the metro? We%26#39;ll need to head up to Bethesda one day during our stay because my husband needs to go for some medical tests but the rest of our stay we%26#39;ll be sightseeing.

What to do what to do :o)

Dupont Hotel or Omni Shoreham???

Dupont Circle is only one stop closer to downtown DC than the Omni, and no closer to a metro station. Given than both Dupont Circle and Woodley Park (where the Omni is located) are nice neighborhoods, I wouldn%26#39;t personally switch hotels if I was going to pay more to switch.

Getting to Bethesda won%26#39;t be a problem from either hotel - both are on the red line, and so is Bethesda.

Enjoy your trip!

Dupont Hotel or Omni Shoreham???

The Dupont is at this moment a major renovation project. It may be finished by the end of April. And it may not be. It is a somewhat better location, but I%26#39;m not sure I would risk the possibility of a construction zone.

Hi,

I have been considering staying at the Dupont due to price at the moment. i am going on 22nd April.

They have told me the following (copied and pasted from an e-mail they sent to me): -

With regards to the renovation, we will open with all but 3 of our guest floors. The 9th and 8th floor (the 9th being our executive lounge) will not be finish in time of our reopen as it was just constructed. The noise you may expect would be during the day only, from 9-5 and will be minimal, as we need to finish installing carpets and items on the 9th floor as well as finish furnishing.

i hope this helps.

Depending on what days you are going, the Omni has rates for $109. Call them and mention the code OMNIZOO (Travelzoo promotion) and you might hit the jackpot. We are going in June and have reservations at the Lombardy but are thinking of switching to the Omni for the rates.
