Top Brightwood Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Overall good stay. Two things that were slightly different was breakfast was not included unless paid for in the package which we didn’t know and valet was a little tricky to get to drop off the car. Overall, very nice for a short stay."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

8/10 Good

"Perfect location if you're going to the fantastic Museum of the Bible. Good service. The room had no coffee maker and VERY little counter space in the bathroom. The king bed was hard and only had 2 pillows. We asked for more and easily got them from the helpful staff (there was supposed to be a pillow drawer under the bed, but our accessible room didn't have one)."
