D.C. 2012
We are thinking of a trip to DC in 2012 - July time frame.
Found the DC trolley thing that we will probably use to get around. What is a moderate priced area to stay in near D.C. that will have decent food nearby? The Trolley has shuttle tour from some hotels, is it worth the shuttle it to not have to drive and park in D.C to get on the tolley? ? |

Annapolis if it's not too far away for you.

I can't advise on hotels but the DC Metro system is usually quick, clean and convenient even if they have been having some trouble with their escalators lately. You might acquire the Zagat restaurant guide. -- James Silverton, Potomac I'm *not* |

Try Alexandria, Virginia "Located in the heart of the greater Washington area, across the river from National Harbor " We found a Motel close to the Subway and it was a very short, quick ride over to Washington.

Last time we stayed in Georgetown at http://www.savoysuites.com/ and we got it for $99/night through venere.com, though I don't see it there anymore. Breakfast not included, but underground parking was, and since we had driven from NYC, that was a big savings versus many hotels that charge for parking. Try Venere.com. It was very convenient in terms of restaurants. No metro, but a bus runs straight to the tourist areas. Staying near a metro station sounds good in theory, but of course so many people want to do that that the hotels near metro stations are either not-cheap, or really run down (like in College Park, where we stayed at a run down Quality Inn & Suites) but it was walking distance to the metro. |
