jeffysno Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Booked a 3 star hotel in the Convention Center area of DC for 1 night (2 adults) for $101 that had a 95% approval rating and the following amenities: Fitness Center Restaurant Fitness Center Pool Business Center Turned out to be the Hampton Inn just north of 6th and I street and I must say it is every bit worth the 95% approval rating. Ended up with a king bed, free internet and the free breakfast. Did some checking and the hotwire rate was $60 cheaper than the best "company" discounted rate I could pull directly off their site. Excellent hotel and very happy with the results! A few things learned, ask for a room on the back side of the hotel as 6th street is pretty busy and seems to be the main route for emergency services (read... sirens.) Even on the 7th floor, you can hear everything pretty clear. Breakfast was typical 3 star fare (scrambled eggs, potatoes, ham, cereals, muffins/breads, juices, etc..) and very good. Only downside was that it gets really busy and the eating area is crowded, but the staff kept it fully stocked and we just opted to take ours to go and enjoyed it in the room. The hotel is a block (less than 5 min walk) to Chinatown and all kinds of dinner choices. Link to comment
jeffysno Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I forgot to mention parking. The hotel only offers valet parking at $42 a night. Lots of rules/restrictions on street parking and the Cherry Blossom Festival was in full swing, so we decided to park in one of the open lots down I (eye) street at either 3rd or 4th street. Both lots are open, so no real security or staff on site 24/7, but definitely an easy way to legally "street" park in DC. The lot on 4th street was $18 a day and 3rd street $12. there's only 200 feet between the 2 lots and walking time to the hotel is about 7 minutes. Link to comment
