Why We Like It

We know what to expect at this chain hotel, including warm cookies in the lobby throughout the day. Its location in the Dupont/Adams Morgan area provides a neighborhood taste of the city, with lots of restaurants and bars to choose from. It’s good value for the price.

Fodor's Expert Review

Newly renovated guest rooms make for a comfortable stay for sightseers and business travelers at this standard chain hotel. It’s located among the buzzy neighborhood restaurants, bars, and shops of the Dupont/Adams Morgan area, with easy enough access to the major monuments and museums via the metro’s red line. The outdoor terrace and pool are welcome retreats after a day of sightseeing.

You Should Know Here’s an interesting fact: This building was once home to the National Rifle Association.
