Grand Hyatt Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Holiday Inn Express Washington DC Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the location and hotel was well maintained. My kids loved breakfast. We did not use parking (was pricy), we parked at overnight free meter. The room was small for 6 of us (2 adults and 4 little children), but we are happy we could still be accommodated and did not have to separate into different rooms. Overall nice experience with hotel."
