The Normandy Hotel Review
This small gem of a hotel lies on a quiet street surrounded by handsome residences, the embassies of Afghanistan, Syria, Senegal, and the Alliance Française. Nearby are great restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, galleries, and the Dupont Circle Metro station. A 2009 renovation transformed the six-story property. Guest room decor serves up chic, individual versions of fashionable, such as charcoal and ivory toile wall coverings and drapes; all rooms come with raspberry velvet-cushioned slipper chairs, boxy lamps, and variegated marble-walled bathrooms. Rooms are small, with best ones overlooking the tree-lined Wyoming Avenue. The Normandy's public spaces are improved, as well, with the lounge now a plushly comfortable place to sit by the fire in winter or enjoy a good breakfast each morning. With embassies for neighbors, the hotel hosts many embassy-bound guests. You may discover this for yourself of an evening, when guests gather in the lounge, conservatory, and garden patio for complimentary hors d'oeuvres and spirits. The hotel is a nonsmoking property.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
