$, Adams-Morgan
Fodor's Review:
The rooms are tiny and the hallways small, but you couldn't improve the location, at the foot of Kalorama Circle overlooking Rock Creek Park. If you don't mind a bit of a walk you can easily get to the National Zoo, Dupont Circle, and Adams-Morgan, all within a mile of the hotel. Street parking can be difficult, but a reasonably priced garage is two blocks away.
