Introduction
Finding the best DC hotels can be an easy task that just requires some research. Washington DC is a popular tourist destination. Therefore, you will have many DC hotels to choose from. Being the capital city, many DC hotels go out of their way to show their pride in the city by providing excellent accommodations. When choosing between DC hotels there are several areas that a guest should look into before making a decision. This research should be done at home before any DC hotels are booked. You can find a lot of information about any DC hotels by using just the Internet and the telephone.
Step 1
Check a phone directory for DC hotels, or to make it even easier, search online for DC hotels. Once you have the names of several DC hotels put them on a list and visit the website for each one. Research prices, amenities and location for each of the DC hotels that are on your list.
Step 2
- Narrow your list down to the top four or five DC hotels. You can use the websites to make your decision about which hotels should stay on your list and which should be removed.
Step 3
- Type the name of each of the DC hotels on your list, one at a time into your favorite search engine. Type the name of the first hotel on your list and next to the name type the word reviews. This will bring up pages which contain reviews to that particular hotel. Visit a web page and read the reviews. Do not just read the first few reviews, you should read the second and perhaps third page as well. This should give you a good idea of the pros and cons for the hotel.
Step 4
- Continue reading reviews for each other DC hotels on your list. This should give you a good idea of what prior guests felt about their stay in the hotel. These reviews can help you to further narrow down your list of DC hotels to the top two or three. By the time you get down to just a couple of hotels to choose from, it is likely that either one will be a great place to stay.
Step 5
- Make your choice as to which hotel you would like to stay at. You can review amenities to see which has more to offer, you can also review prices to see which will give you the best value for the money. You may also want to consider the hotel's location. If you are visiting DC on business, you may want to choose one closest to where your meetings will be. On the other hand if you are going to be sight seeing you may choose a hotel that is centrally located to the attractions you wish to visit.
