Washington Plaza Hotel

Glover Park Hotel Georgetown
"Clean and stylish rooms, bed a little creaky but comfortable. Temp able to be set how we like it. Upgraded to “club” level without asking… extra snacks, nicer room, higher floor. Convenient to buses and close to family. Good local option."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol
"Had a great stay! Front desk was pleasant, helpful and informative.Elevators are fast! We didn't eat, but the dining area looked nice and clean. My only complaint, the hot tub jets weren't very effective. One reason we booked was the hot tub and it didn't meet expectations."
