Viceroy Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout my stay. One of the highlights was the coffee—it was excellent and a great way to start the day. I also really appreciated that breakfast room service was included, which made the mornings much more convenient and enjoyable. Another standout service was the valet parking; it was extremely efficient and easy to use. Being able to simply text from the room and have the car ready by the time we got downstairs was amazing and made the experience feel seamless. Overall, these thoughtful services made for a very pleasant stay."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very well kept, and very comfortable. The buffet at Embassy never disappoints and the added happy hour time was a plus. Location is excellent and near plenty of places to shop and eat. Even if you don't use the valet there are lots near by. I will definitely bring my family back for another stay and visit, because D.C. is beginning to be out new getaway spot."
