Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property was conveniently located in the downtown area. The hotel staff was friendly and there was ample parking. Our biggest frustration was that the property was listed on Expedia as offering FREE PARKING. On our arrival, the Hotel staff informed us that the parking fee was $41 per night. We were not the only guests that made a reservation at this hotel via Expedia for the Free Parking. Another guest who had checked in just before us had also booked the hotel via Expedia and selected the hotel like us for the location with FREE Parking. Neither the Hotel or Expedia accepted responsibility for this error. As a result, we checked out early and plan to never book thru Expedia again."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked this hotel. Their free breakfast was AMAZING! I was really surprised by the quality of the food they offer. We upgraded our room to a suite and it honestly was the best room we've ever had. We traveled with our two teenagers and they LOVED all the space. The location was also pretty good. We walked to the WA monument from here, and there's also a metro station really close by. I loved tht it was accross the street from the DC City Park shopping area and also really close to Chinatown. GREAT location!"
