Wine had been fed exd to Topaz from Hotel Monaco - never arrived; nobody can find it - was never found nor was any follow-up provided.
Overall poor stay. Room was nice but would not be staying here again. Disappointed; was really looking forward to this stay.
The rooms are beautiful but the customer service here has always been dreadful. It was so bad in the lobby bar that my friend (who was staying here) and I walked out after waiting 15 minutes for a drink. The Monaco is probably the best Kimpton in DC.
