Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center
The room was very nicely arranged as a suite with a convenient space for dining area / working desk. The breakfast was good; most of it was fairly standard, but the omelettes made to order were excellent!

Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel
The hotel was fine, but we were placed in an ADA room, which had unuseable closet space. We asked for an adjustment, but got no response from staff. Otherwise, the hotel was convenient to our nearby family.
