"Parking was easy and plentiful. Staff was kind. Room was clean. Check in was not as smooth as we would have liked, but our issue was rectified swiftly . Overall good stay "

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay at The Hamilton! The location was great, just one block from the Metro which was very convenient and walking distance from a CVS which was helpful. My daughter and I felt very safe walking all around then area where the hotel was located. The staff was exceptional! Truly some of the friendliest people we met while in DC The room was immaculate and the bed was very comfortable. 10/10 would absolutely stay here again!!"

Courtyard by Marriott Springfield

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were helpful and nice. One staff that stood out was named Hasan. He was excellent, kind and helpful. Place was well maintained and clean. Washer and dryer were neat. You activate and pay through a phone app and it shows you on app how much time you got left. Place was kept clean. The shower had shampoo, conditioner and body wash connected to the wall of shower that you would pump out. No clutter or falling bottles in the tub, excellent! Food was really good but can be pricey. Did not use the pool or workout room as we were doing too many other things on the vacation. For sure recommed."
