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

8/10 Good

"Very nice location. Good amenities. Didn’t do our rooms but otherwise was good."

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean with the exception of the floors, which would leave your feet pretty covered in dust. I do feel like the housekeeper tried their best. The deluxe rooms were very basic and I still don’t understand what the upgrade was that we paid for was. There is absolutely no room service in the hotel. I was quite surprised by that. The breakfast buffet was overpriced, but had the basics. The advertisement for the hotel gave me the impression that it was on the water, but it absolutely is not. You have to cross a highway to get to the water. Additionally they advertise a food court below the hotel, but don’t be fooled, it is reminiscent of something from the USSR, stark and depressing. If you think 1990s Holiday Inn, you will get the overall feel for this hotel. Surprising for a Hilton, but priced as such, I suppose. "

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

2/10 Terrible

"We had the unfortunate experience of being placed in the room next to the 24 hour fitness room. People were dropping weights at all hours. When we arrived in the room, there was an unusual smell. We couldn't figure out if it was an air freshener or something else. The location of the hotel is fantastic. There are several locations in DC within walking distance. The room was very clean and beds were very comfortable."
