Hilton Washington DC Capitol Hill
Great location and great staff! Walking distance to sight seeing, restaurants and transportation. Our first room didn’t have the best plumbing. They gave us another room. They also wrote us a note and provided us snacks for the inconvenience. I would definitely stay here again.
