Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel
The hotel was fine, but we were placed in an ADA room, which had unuseable closet space. We asked for an adjustment, but got no response from staff. Otherwise, the hotel was convenient to our nearby family.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center
The room was very nicely arranged as a suite with a convenient space for dining area / working desk. The breakfast was good; most of it was fairly standard, but the omelettes made to order were excellent!

Generator Hotel Washington DC
Great location and friendly staff. Room is comfortable but no frills. Not a complaint but know there is no lotion or hair conditioner in the rooms. That is not a bad thing, just something to know. Also, the lighting was very dim. Otherwise, excellent.
