Capitol Hill Hotel

Capitol Hill Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was very nice with a fantastic walkable location to the Mall and major DC sites. Once you valet park, you really do not need your car for sightseeing and museums. The staff was super friendly and the breakfast was really great and several cuts above what you usually get at hotels. We enjoyed a nice suite with kitchenette. We will definitely be back."
