Glover Park Hotel Georgetown
"Great affordable stay with kind people! Cute and clean. Very convenient location for walking."
Holiday Inn Express Washington DC Downtown by IHG
"Fantastic location. We had two queen beds and a sofa bed. Two adults and two teenage boys. The room was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. Only grumble would be the sofa bed mattress that was poor. The housekeeper kept the room immaculate and front desk staff were very helpful. The breakfast was very basic, but coffee on tap which was a plus. For the price it’s very affordable for a family touring the city."
