Motto by Hilton Washington DC City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for event at Capital One Arena (steps away from Metro yellow line). Friendly staff, clean innovative room and great price. "

The Dupont Circle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Although the hotel was very nice, the staff was the best part for our experience there. They were always there with excellent advice and help. Place is a bit pricey, but it was very comfortable and had some nice extras in the room like fruit sparkling water, etc. Be careful with the alcohol fridge, as if you only take out one to look at, it be charged to your account. The cost of a little wine bottle is 30 dollars. We made that mistake, but the staff quickly adjusted our bill."
