Sorry gang, I should have been more specific. My knowledge of the Sinclair Hotel is based on a margin note from the 1850 Census for Washington, DC. A relative-by-marriage's ancestor, a Geo Sinclair, is listed as a Tavernkeeper. Sinclair's hotel is essentially next door to West's Hotel, John West Hotel keeper. No street is listed.
