Hotels in DC

[watercolor]

Looking for some ideas of hotels that you have stayed in, located in DC near the Kennedy Center, or within a metro stop that runs towards that way. (if the metro is going to run that early.. I dont know if it does). And one that is not outlandishly priced. It will only be overnight. TIA!

And one that is not outlandishly priced.

I don't think that is possible for a hotel in DC.

This is what I am thinking. It would just be so much easier than getting up at 3 and such, to get up there.

Good Luck with that. All hotels in DC, are $$.

There are no Metrorail stops close to the Kennedy Center. I think Foggy Bottom is the closest and that's about a 4-5 block walk. Not sure about the buses, I don't ride them. I'd take a cab first.

A couple of years ago we caught Kennedy Center shuttle from Foggy Bottom to the Kennedy Center.

When I stayed in DC to go to the Kennedy Center, it was at One Washington Circle hotel and caught a cab there. It was about $150 a night a few years ago.

Try looking for specials at Travelocity. The Kennedy Center has a good map of hotels in the area: http://www.kennedy-center.org/visitor/hotels.html

That's correct, nearest Metrorail stop is Foggy Bottom on the Orange line.

If you're on a budget, I'd be looking at hotels/motels across the river around Clarendon Blvd/Rosslyn or even out to Ballston areas of Arlington. You should be able to find something in the $100-$130 range with access to the Orange line. Maybe even less. It's a short trip across the river by metrorail.

The Kennedy Center area is the Watergate area & very $$$$$$.

We stay at the Hotel Harrington on 11th street when going to the Warner. It's old but clean. Rooms are tiny, but clean. Price was $99. We always plan way in advance. good luck http://www.hotel-harrington.com/

That should work out pretty well b/c you can enter the 11th St entrance of the Metro Center station, where the red, orange & blue lines are available. Take the orange line, direction Vienna/Fairfax, to get to Foggy Bottom in three stops.
