Hotel Madera Toilet Paper

I like the way hotels present their toilet paper, with a little sticker at the beginning of the roll. This one, from the Hotel Madera in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC, is disappointingly asymmetrical, though.

The closest to all the monuments and museums.

Answer by ignatious93
hmm. Cheap and D.C. doesn’t mix. I’ve stayed at the Holiday Inn in Silver Spring. The Marriott in Crystal City. The Rockville Ramada is probably the cheapest hotel i’ve stayed in. Neither are “close” to any of the monuments per se, but all are relatively accessible by the subway/Metro. Which you should use while touring the area.
But, of course, making friends in the area and staying at their place, is the best.

Question by taya919: Staying at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington DC. Need suggestions for a cheap place to park my car.?
We are staying at the Renaissance Hotel on 9th Street Saturday and Sunday. The hotel parking is $ 25 a day which is crazy expensive. Does anyone know where I can park that is within walking distance (5-10 minutes) with a more reasonable daily rate? Thanks

Answer by corndogs
You can check here: http://washingtondc.bestparking.com/index.php#1

But basically cheap overnight parking doesn’t exist in DC. $ 25/night is normal.

Question by TigerMike1975: I am looking for a really cool family hotel in the Washington DC area?
I am looking for a family fun hotel in the Washington DC area that has attractions like water slides, Miniature golf or other fun family/child activities. My child will be 10 years old and wants to visit the White House so I am looking into planning a trip and feel a hotel with some action will be essential to adding fun to this trip in addition to the sightseeing and history that DC has to offer. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Best answer:

Answer by DON W
Unfortunately I can’t think of any hotels in the DC area that fit what you’re looking for. While many of them are family-friendly, that means basic swimming pools, free breakfasts, and not that much more. What you are looking for are resort hotels, and DC isn’t a resort city.

With that said, if you book a hotel in the close-in suburbs, you can use the Metro subway system to get downtown each day to the sights. Most kids enjoy riding on Metro!

You may want to get onto http://www.hotels.com and look for hotels in the Ballston section of Arlington, Virginia, which is connected to downtown via Metro. There’s a large indoor shopping mall at Ballston, on the top floor of which is a massive public ice skating rink (they rent skates). It’s popular because it’s the “practice ice” for the Washington Capitals, and during the hockey season you can (for free) watch them practice, and then go to the second rink (there are two) and skate yourself.

Be aware that in order to obtain passes for the White House tour, you need to reserve them about 4-6 months in advance through your US Congressman’s office. His or her website will provide directions for how to request them. After you put your request in, you have to cross your fingers and hope for the best. Ever since 9/11, it’s not easy to get them.

Fairfax Hotel Strike 1974 #3
Hotel in Washington

Snowfall begins to pick up during the picket line.

Housekeepers and laundry workers went on strike in February 1974 at the Fairfax Hotel to gain their first contract after bargaining broke down.

The 20 or so members of the Hotel & Restaurant and Bartenders Union ultimately succeeded and Local 25 of "UNITE-HERE" (the successor to original union) continues to represent employees at the hotel today. The hotel is located at the corner of 21st Street and Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC

We will be traveling through the Washington DC area on Feb 8-10 and are looking for an inexpensive decent hotel. Any help would be great.

Answer by angelisa_noah
Try going to www.hotels.com or travelocity.com. Try something completely different and look a little futher out of the way and go to ww.bbonline.com. Perhaps you can find a cabin, or a bed and breakfast for cheaper.

Good luck
