Buckingham Vacations from $446

We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights. Check-in was easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was small, but comfortable and clean. Excellent location, 5 minutes to the main street with restaurants. 10 minutes to Hop on Hop off or Lady Dive tours. 15 minutes to ByWard market. Lots of Ubers to get you around. Parking, is available for a charge, just register your vehicle at check-in.

We opted for the Gold plan and loved it! Breakfast was included, small plate appetizers and canapés and then dessert served in an exclusive common room from 5:00. Excellent service. But the hotel needs some refurbishing and updating. The desk chair in our room was literally shredded. This is a premium property. A wonderful and historic and perfectly located hotel. The Fairmount needs to give it some love.

There were no on-site staff, though there were cleaning people. I only got check-ininstructions a few hours before I arrived so if someone from the unconnected Business in the same building weren’t there, which was a bar, to help me with Wi-Fi I might not have been able to get my instructions easily. The place was beautiful very clean. However, the bar had some not very good music in the evening until about 10 o’clock, and also the voices coming from that restaurant bar were clearly audible from my room. Sunday night it was not a problem but Monday night I was glad I only had the one more night to stay. They gave me earplugs with my amenities,which I didn’t understand until later monday evening.

Beautiful and very conveniently located.

Upscale, great restaurant and lovely town close.
