“This spot understands the D.C. visitor: a comfortable, efficient basecamp near the action, especially for events at Capital One Arena. I appreciate the modern design and the rooftop bar with its Monument views, but the compact room size is something to consider-perfect for busy days out, less so for lounging. I think it balances affordability and location well, catering to a traveler who values experience over expansive space.”
