Hamilton Hotel Washington DC
Nice old hotel! Conveniently located to DC attractions. Lots of little breakfast/lunch places nearby and a CVS. Enjoyed our stay. Valet parking was steep at $69 a day. A few negatives....Too much furniture in small room. Refrigerator was filled with mini bar items and no room to put our food/drinks. ...

Arlo Washington DC
The staff was friendly. The rooms were very clean. We did not eat in the hotel so we can’t comment on that. The location was good. Just a few blocks from the metro. There is a secure parking garage. Overall our stay was excellent!

Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel
The hotel is a bit dated. But location and staff are great. My only one complaint is I tried operator a number of times but there is no one picking up the phone. Not sure why.
