Hamilton Hotel Washington DC
The property was great! The hotel staff were great, and the room was excellent. Everything was clean and comfortable. The food in Via Sophia was great, and the atmosphere in there was so nice (other than the supervisor, he was pretty off-putting). I would definitely stay here again.
