"Great staff!"

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"I would definitely come back for a stay. I came for a quick staycation and loved it. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and noise is non-existent. Walkable restaurants and Harris Teeter at the end of the block. If you are ever in the Washington , D.C. area this hotel will not disappoint."

The Beacon at Embassy Row, WorldHotels Distinctive

8/10 Good

"The hotel was under renovation so I don’t think it’s fair to judge it completely BUT the renovated hotel room I stayed in was super nice and lush. I didn’t drive so no comments on parking. The bed was my favorite part and the view of the city was amazing. Very walkable as well."
