It’s a few blocks away from the National Mall, but check out the Governor House Hotel. It’s about as reasonable as the D.C. area gets.

As an individual, I am uploading this for informational value, I do not endorse any beliefs held in this speech. – Esoteric Riddler Introductory Note: Benjamin H. Freedman was one of the most intriguing and amazing individuals of the 20th century. Mr. Freedman, born in 1890, was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry after the Judeo-Communist victory of 1945, and spent the remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the Jewish tyranny which has enveloped the United States. Mr. Freedman knew what he was talking about because he had been an insider at the highest levels of Jewish organizations and Jewish machinations to gain power over our nation. Mr. Freedman was personally acquainted with Bernard Baruch, Samuel Untermyer, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Joseph Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy, and many more movers and shakers of our times. This speech was given before a patriotic audience in 1961 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, DC, on behalf of Conde McGinley’s patriotic newspaper of that time, Common Sense. Though in some minor ways this wide-ranging and extemporaneous speech has become dated, Mr. Freedman’s essential message to us — his warning to the West — is more urgent than ever before.

Question by : Are you exempt from sales tax if you stay 30 days or more in a Washington state hotel?
I am looking at renting at the Belltown Inn in dowtown Seattle and the clerk mentioned that if you stay 30 nights (in a month to month arrangement) you don’t have to pay tax on the room. This sounded questionable, hence my question.

Answer by Bobbie

Question by Brad: Would you recommend the Washington Hilton Hotel?
I have read mixed reviews of the hotel. I have also seen pictures. Some pictures are fairly nice but others show some wear and tear in the rooms. I was just wondering if any of you out there have stayed or know anything about it. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Liv
I have stayed there before and it’s generally nice although some of the staff are really sort of stuck up snobs to be honest. It can also be pretty hard to use the pool at times, as lots of people go down there.

Answer by dcgirl
Check the link below for Arlington, VA hotels. The MD suburbs where the hotels are tend to be far pricier than staying in the city. On the site below, the I-395 locations will be furthest from the metro but many hotels offer shuttle service. The Downtown Arlington hotels will be close to several Metro’s: Courthouse Square and Clarendon are two but I think there is a third. And the National Airport hotels will be right close to the National Airport Metro. If those still turn out to be out of your price range, send me a message and let me know what that price range is as lots of the local hotels are not well advertised. I might be able to make some suggestions.
