"Great"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed here several times and the staff is excellent every time I go! They are helpful, accomodating and pleasant. The hotel itself is beautiful but I think it is starting to show signs of being dated. There aren't many amenties but there are spaces to work and a restuarant to eat. Most things are walkable from the hotel. Standard rooms are an okay stay but I would recommend upgrading if you can."

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. The staff were very friendly."

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Super helpful staff including check-in and room services. Room was clean and the location to The Anthem and the Mall was phenomenal. Breakfast was fabulous and the entire dining staff was attentive and friendly. I would definitely choose to stay here again. Only a handful of metro stops from Reagan airport to the hotel which rests above the L’Enfant station. Stayed multiple nights and days and they didn’t miss a beat or an opportunity to make the stay wonderful!"

JW Marriott Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Restaurant pricing is high. Lounge pricing is high."

Conrad Washington, DC

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay here! At first, I was concerned that it was going to be noisy because my room was off of the central atrium, but it was not. My room was a nice size, and having a desk I could work at was great. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
