The Churchill Hotel near Embassy Row
3.5 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (1465)
"The Churchill was a nice, quiet hotel and I was surprised at what I got for the cost of the room. I'm used to DC, so when I say quiet, it comes wth the caveat that it's on the motorcade route to the VP's residence, so you'll hear those sirens The only thing to be aware of is, the bathroom was tiny. If you need room to move around, I'd recommend letting the hotel know in advance so they can pick the right room for you."
