We stayed at the Holiday Inn while visiting Washington DC and the monuments. The hotel is centrally, located and close to the Erin space museum in Capitol Hill. It’s also only a 10 to 15 minute walk to the wharf where you have great restaurants. There are typically taxis that are out front that you can grab for a ride. The hotel is conveniently located if you’re planning to visit the museums. I would stay here again. The only thing I would like to see better is the breakfast because it gets so busy. Not their fault just how it is.
