I booked a roundtrip flight to Denver on Southwest and applied 36,000 Hilton Honors points plus cash to reserve a room at the Hilton Inn Denver Union Station based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. One reviewer included the room number that helped me select and book the perfect room.
I visited Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia in three days. My family and friends were surprised I traveled to D.C. after witnessing the attack on Capitol Hill.
