Ask for a back-of-the-house room on floors 6 through 10, where views of Rock Creek Park and the Washington National Cathedral can be seen.

"This hotel combines the selling point of convenience with the fact that it is just far enough off the main drag to provide a quiet stay." Full review

Fodor's
"Tranquil guest rooms at this intimate inn are nicely done with taupe, charcoal, and indigo furnishings, and some are oversized and have balconies." Full review
