I must go to DC in September. So far my hotel choices are:
- Hotel Hive
- Beacon Hotel and Corporate Headquarters
- Yotel (stayed here before. Its “okay”)
- Citizen M
Any suggestions? Or something else under $200 and close to the Mall?
Help appreciated.

Not even a well disguised AI response. But I booked today.

Given your continuous generosity toward people asking anything about Budapest, I feel a little bad that none of us DC folks offered any help. I just don't know anyone who has recently stayed in any of those hetels. They all are reasonably accessible to the Mall. During the school year, the streets outside the Hive (George Washington Univeristy campus) might be noisy at night but not during the summer. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Its okay. Its not really the focus of the forum. The Hive was the most econiomical, but I went for CitizenM. I am traveling solo except maybe 3 out of 6 days with my daughter and grandson and the bar at citizenM looked better. That and closer to The Warf. I'll do that and a few of the Smithsonisns .... mom and dad have their name on a brass plaque in one of them. Always good for the photo opp. Then back home to Budapest.

Hi, did you look at the Phoenix Park Hotel? There’s a new Arlo Hotel near the Building Museum and GAO (north of Judiciary Square). Also, a Sonesta went in where an office building was on Massachusetts Ave near the Phoenix Park. Those are my suggestions. Good luck with the search!

I worked in that building at 20 Massachusetts Ave before it was gutted and turned into a Royal Sonesta. Not a bad area to stay. On the other side of town the Club Quarters at 839 17th St also was an office building in which I worked.
