This three-and-a-half-pearl, 153-room hotel is located in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, just a five-minute walk from the Capitol Building and the Capitol South Metro station. The hotel has two separate buildings, and decor is contemporary throughout both. The sharp, soberly styled rooms feature efficiency kitchenettes or kitchens, seating areas, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. There’s no pool or spa, but the hotel does have a large, well-equipped fitness center that's open 24-hours. There’s no restaurant on-site, but a free hot and cold buffet breakfast is served each morning. Free take-out coffee and a happy hour with free wine on weeknights are also nice perks. Prices are fair for the neighborhood, but travelers with bigger budgets wanting a rooftop pool might try nearby The Liaison Capitol Hill.

Opened in 2015, the Hyatt Place Washington DC/White House is a modern, mid-range hotel in the heart of downtown, a short walk from the White House and the metro. Designed to accommodate business travelers and tourists on the go, the hotel offers hot meals 24/7, including a free breakfast, and well-equipped 24-hour fitness and business centers. It also features a rooftop bar with terrific city views. Its 164 spacious rooms are fresh and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows and sitting areas with sofas, though those on lower floors can get street noise.

Leisure and business travelers alike choose the three-pearl Hampton Inn Washington, DC-Convention Center for its location and its value. The hotel is within walking distance of the area's major draws -- Washington Convention Center and Verizon Center -- and to several of the city's top sights. All 228 guest rooms and suites are equipped with microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, safes, and free Wi-Fi, but the decor is ho-hum, dominated by drab neutrals. Top amenities include a full-service restaurant and a bar with daily happy hour, a fitness center, and a small pool. There's also a 24-hour business center and minimart. As an alternative, the nearby three-and-a-half-pearl Embassy Suites Hotel Washington, DC-Convention Center has a larger pool, but expect to pay more.

Unless you're doing business in the area or you're in town to catch a Nationals game, there's no reason to stay here. It's a nice enough place -- clean, comfortable rooms; gym and business center; even a pool with Jacuzzi -- but the neighborhood is sleepy, and a bit isolated from the rest of D.C. There are other, similarly priced Marriotts in better locations.

The 384-room Embassy Suites Hotel - Convention Center is an upper-middle-range option with amenities for both business travelers and families. While the vibe here is decidedly chain hotel, this one has plenty to offer with a restaurant and bar, fitness center, small indoor pool with a hot tub, gift shop, self-service laundry room, and business center. Freebies include an extensive breakfast and a two-hour nightly reception with free drinks. Wi-Fi isn't always free, though, and parking's pricey.

With a history dating back to 1816, the 335-room Willard Intercontinental is among the most iconic luxury hotels in D.C. -- and indeed, the United States.
