Capitol Hill

This neighbourhood boasts the U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, and enough familiar news backdrops to make your jaw drop.

Capitol Hill is nirvana for political junkies! What’s a bit more surprising about this neighbourhood is the fact that there’s a proper residential community here, complete with tree-lined streets and decades-old mom-and-pop establishments. For more than 150 years, Eastern Market has offered a colourful showcase of baked goods, fruits and veg, flowers, and mouth-watering meats and cheeses. If you’d like more sit-down options, head to Barracks Row, where you’ll find heaps of restaurants to suit any fancy.

My 1st room smelled a lot like smoke and the hotel is supposed to be non-smoking. After refusing a deodorizing room spray, I was moved to another room. The mattresses in both rooms were old, lumpy and very uncomfortable. I slept on the lounge chair the entire stay. When asked for the room to be cleaned, ...
