10/10 Excellent

"Excellent time and vibe is very cool!"

Glover Park Hotel Georgetown

10/10 Excellent

"I arrived at the hotel very late, around 1:30AM, and it was nice to see that there was a security officer there to let me in. Check in was very smooth. The room was VERY spacious. Street parking was very easy and there are plenty of shops and cafes nearby. I was there for American University's Family Weekend and the drive back and forth was an easy 8 minutes. The hotel offers a lot of amenities and next time I will have to book one of the spa treatments. Lovely place to stay."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Chevy Chase Pavilion

10/10 Excellent

"Our family enjoyed this hotel. Breakfast was very good with made to order omelets and a small variety of other hot items. As far as the pool and hot tub go, as others have mentioned this area is used for swimming lessons, but we always found them to be accommodating to our young one by giving a place to swim, Plus the hot tub with the Jets was always available when we wanted to use it at night. The location is pretty great, You are above the metro, so it made for easy access to other areas of the city. I will say it did take a day to fully understand the layout of the building and how to get to the metro easily. Overall, we will be booking this hotel for any future trips to D.C."
