Courtyard by Marriott Washington Downtown/Convention Center
Parking garage was full so unexpectedly having to find parking at night with a toddler and a baby was inconvenient. But the room, staff and restaurant were great.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Washington DC Convention Center
Great location! The breakfast, kitchen, and parking were exactly what we needed. The staff were helpful, and I especially liked that I could text them for requests. However, the different breakfast time on Saturday was not explained when I checked in, so unfortunately we had to skip it.
