Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

8/10 Good
"Everything was great except the $25 facility fee and $3.99 facility fee tax. I also wasn’t expecting the $100 hold for incidentals. Maybe it was all listed in the fine print."

They are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe.
