citizenM Washington, D.C. NoMa
Staff was super friendly and helpful. But the room is tiny!! For the amount spent, even for DC, this was a tiny room. The bikes in the gym had broken seat levers.

Courtyard Washington, DC/U.S. Capitol
It was fine. I was only there for one night. I like the fact that check-out is at 12 pm. That gave us time to relax a little and enjoy breakfast without having to feel so rushed.
