Hotels in Washington DC - Prices and Reviews

We arrived in DC from Boston last night, after two 5 hour trips on the bus. Today we got up bright and early to head out into the country's capital. We went to Arlington Cemetery, where thousands of white tombstones littered the grounds there. Then we trekked it across Arlington Memorial Bridge to the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument...

Ok so it's 6..00am here (11.17 UK time) and i'm wide awake and ready for breakfast!
My travel here was fantastic. I was told my flight seat to Washington was upgraded for free. Great I thought, premium economy, a little more legroom, bring it on. Not the case, BA Club World seat! The ones that turn into beds, real food and real cutlery etc. H...

The pastor's message at First Baptist Church this morning was great. "Lest We Forget" was the title, and it took the congregation down memory lane, reminding us all of the brave men and women who suffered, struggled and endured incredible situations in history that helped us all get to this day -- one day before Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day a...

I reached Washington DC around 6:30am. The custom was very easy for some reason maybe it is due to the early morning time. I caught the local bus for $3.10 to Rossylne Metro Station. I got to the Washington Internationl Student Center around 9am. This hostel is only $25 per night. The cheapest one in DC. Dropped off my bag and head out to start ...

I am unfortunately down to my final two weeks in DC. I really wish that I had longer out here... It is the day before my midterm of Transformation of American Politics which is so hard to believe. It feels as though I just began this second class. I cannot believe that our final is going to be next week already. I do not feel as though this midt...

Meridian Hill Park is a part of Adams Morgan. For me the park is a part of my weekly routine. I spend a great deal of time reading in the park, enjoying the tranquillity and surroundings. Today I had a conversation with another visitor, who told me about Meridian Hill. 'I love this place. This is my park, man' he told me. 'I come here to reminis...

I flew to Washington DC to meet my friend Maree and attend Anzac day celebrations as her 'spouse'. When I met her colleagues or other Air force attendees and I was asked me how I fit into the picture, or where I was from I would say I am Mareès partner, wait for the reaction and then explain the story. Worked a treat especially after people had ...

Today we went to Congressman Tom Allen's office to have a tour of Congress. On the way, we some some big men in suits in a black SUV that had government plates. Could it have been the Secret Service? We'll never know. After waiting in a huge line to get through security, we went through a hallway that was lined with artwork. Each Representative ...

New York to Washington DC - 16/03/0 I eventually picked up the RV at 1pm and set off for a short 200 mile drive to DC. It was the worst driving experience of my life! Not only was I driving a 25ft RV that weighs 10tonne (with the steering wheel on the wrong side) I was driving through snow, sleet and fog. It took me 8 hours (ie an average of 25m...
