Hotel Helix Washington DC - A Kimpton Hotel Guest Reviews
All the staff are very friendlly and the Hotel is very clean. However, some one was smoking inside of the hotel (Mariguana). I didn't like it. I think this hotel is only for adults, not for children.

Comfortable not boring rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay there again!

The staff tries very hard and does a good job of making guests comfortable. The room does a slightly less good job, as there was definitely a tilt toward style over substance.

Today I got home and realized this hotel and charged me some very mysterious extra charges. In addition to the bill I was presented upon checkout, there was a charge for over $500 (!!!) and another separate charge for $240 (!!!). Of course I immediately called the hotel and was given absolutely no help. It was so frustrating. In fact, everything about this hotel was frustrating and poorly run and disorganized. When I arrived they had given away my room and I was placed in a room with bunk beds. The next day I was moved to a new room -- still not the room I booked and paid for -- and moved again the third day. I'm a pretty easygoing traveler but even for me three different rooms for three nights is a stretch. But the bill was the final straw. The person I spoke to at the hotel today said he could find "no record of the extra charges." My credit card sure has a record of them! After a completely frustrating phone call, the Helix representative simply said he couldn't help me resolve the issue and just told me to call my credit card company and issue a dispute. WHAT? Who runs a business that way? There are much better (and much CLEANER) hotels at better prices nearby. The Holiday Inn is just a block away and the Washington Plaza is also nearby and less expensive. This hotel was a disorganized mess. and the bathrooms could use some serious Clorox and a scrub. If you do decide to stay here, check your bill VERY CAREFULLY when you get home. I was extremely unhappy that the hotel charged me an extra $800 and then claimed to have no record at all of the transactions. This hotel was the only unpleasant part of an otherwise great trip. Beware!!
