Glover Park Hotel Georgetown

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol
"Warning - this hotel requires a $300 deposit due to the clientele that normally utilizes it. This was not shared with me when made the hotel.com reservation. The people that hang out in the lobby and outside the doors of the entrance are interesting. Google "skunk weed"."
