Hamilton Hotel Washington DC
1) I got a room just near the ventilation system, which was quite loud, 2) The mini bar had price list, but in addition, the hotel charge additional $1 for each purchase, which was stated in a. small font. 1$ is not a big deal, but I hate when a hotel plays hide the prices in small font... so cheap ...

City Express by Marriott Washington, DC Northeast
Hotel was clean and spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Only downside, it's hard to figure out public transportation to get to the mall. Uber is best bet.
