The Bethesdan Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The Hamilton Hotel in Washington D.C. provides a reliable and remarkably clean stay in an unbeatable downtown location. While the lobby feels grand and sophisticated, the guest rooms are definitely showing their age and could use a modern refresh. Despite the outdated decor and older fixtures, the housekeeping staff keeps every corner of the space impressively spotless. It is a fantastic choice for anyone who prioritizes a central home base over the latest interior design trends.
