There are dozens of wonderful hotels in Washington D.C. Most are not specifically budget hotels, but many excellent values can be found among these D.C. accommodations. 

You can always expect the best from our personally selected collection of D.C. hotels. Corporate travelers are the ones who really support these fine accommodations. Remember as a leisure visitor you can benefit from much lower rates than business guests by picking your season for traveling. 

Washington hotels are smarter than their counterparts in many other cities. They drop their rates very low during slow periods, in order to attract the budget minded. But it is sometimes hard to predict in advance what the rates will be, since the vast majority of D.C. Hotels do not print a rate schedule.

We have given you a rate range following each hotel description, which you can interpret according to your dates. And if you are an AAA or AARP member, be sure to mention it.

On location, you should know that Washington is not one of America's sprawling metropolises, where you need a car to get around. Most of the hotels are near the major sites, the memorials, museums and government buildings. Bring good shoes and plan to walk in Washington. NOTE, the Capital's taxi drivers are among the friendliest, and the rates are reasonable.
