I recently enjoyed my stay at the Kimpton Banneker Hotel, which features spacious rooms and a unique decor that caught my eye. The friendly staff made me feel welcome, and the location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions. However, I did experience some issues with the Wi-Fi during my stay, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it was a great experience, but there's room for improvement in a few areas.

My Executive King room was spacious, with a nice seating area and a large work desk. The quirky decor added charm, though the view wasn't ideal. The blackout curtains kept the noise and light at bay, creating a restful environment.

During my stay at the Kimpton Banneker Hotel, I enjoyed the friendly service and cleanliness of my room. but I faced some unexpected challenges with hidden fees and unremarkable amenities. The atmosphere was vibrant and eclectic, making the hotel feel unique while its location was prime for both business and tourist activities. Overall, I felt that the experience was a mixed bag, with some positives overshadowed by some frustrating issues.

I was quite disappointed with the so-called 'amenities'. the fitness center was underwhelming and the hidden fees felt like a scam, especially for what was offered.

Breakfast at Le Sel was decent, though some items felt like basic grocery store fare. The complimentary wine hour was a nice touch, even if not everything else lived up to the Kimpton standard.

I had an amazing stay at the Kimpton Banneker Hotel, thanks to the warm welcome from Miles and the comfortable Studio Suite that was full of natural light. However, I was disappointed to hear about the mixed experiences of some other guests regarding service issues and inconsistent amenities. Overall, the charm and attentive staff made my visit nice, but improvements could be made in certain areas.
