Mid-priced accommodations usually give you one of two things: great location or exceptional service. You can find a highly satisfactory (though not five-star) hotel downtown or, for the same price, stay at one of the top hotels in the suburbs. For the most part, our mid-priced suggestions range from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars, though this price range can vary depending on the season.
In downtown Washington, consider the Holiday Inn on C Street or the Four Points Sheraton on K Street, just north of the White House. Another option is the Embassy Suites on 22nd Street. It is on the high end of our “mid-priced” price range, but because it offers suites, you will have extra room, and because it’s Embassy Suites, you will have a great hot breakfast on the house.
Moving north from downtown, you can find some great hotels in Dupont Circle, which is a fun area of town and offers exceptional ethnic dining. Fitting in with the character-filled environs, the Tabard Inn doesn’t have any two rooms that are exactly the same. Just west of Dupont Circle is the Jurys Normandy on Wyoming Avenue. This hotel is in the embassy section of town, which has a nice secluded feel as compared to downtown DC.
