Hamilton Hotel Washington DC
I went to 3 floors before finding an ice machine that worked. Horrible parking but luckily we had a spot right in front of the hotel. Small rooms. No refrigerator for personal use . But over all, comfy, fancy-like, perfect area. Nice front desk staff. Clean room. Awesome housekeeping staff.

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown
The room was very small. The cleaners took my charger thinking I checked out early. Parking was $60 a night in the closest garage. The front desk told me it was $20. No complementary breakfast.
