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

10/10 Excellent
"This was a really nice location for downtown DC. I stayed somewhere closer to the White House but I know if I had to again, I would rather stay in this location downtown. It’s just 1 block from the convention center and easy walking distance to Capital One arena. The rooms were very clean and nice. I enjoyed the breakfast. definitely family friendly and had a lot of variety with the made to order eggs/omelettes. I appreciate the INDOOR pool as well :) "
