Hamilton Hotel Washington DC
"The property was amazing. Only mistake I made is with the breakfast. I thought Expedia gave me a DAILY credit of $20 towards my breakfast and was amazed to see it was a one time credit of $20. Not sure how a one time credit is a good incentive to eat but ok. Other than that it was perfect."
