Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol
The hotel itself was a little dated but we got a red velvet cookie upon arrival. We were pretty happy with our stay. We didn’t get to try out the pool so can’t comment on that but overall it was a pretty good stay.

Washington Plaza Hotel
The staff was awesome super friendly and all smiles. Very helpful when asking for place to go in the area for dinner. The rooms were nice and bathrooms were update probably not long ago. For the money a great hotel. It was a last minute for me to book. The White House was not but a half mile walk ...

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC
Great hotel in a great location. Walkable to many attractions, restaurants and nightlife. Nice onsite restaurant/bar. Valet parking was convenient but a bit pricey ($70/night).
