When looking for a place to stay in Washington D.C., budget-minded travelers might immediately think of cheap hotels. After all, Washington is a expensive city and hotel rates can be high. However, there are a few reasons why spending a little more for a nicer hotel in Washington may be a better option.
For starters, many of the cheap hotels in Washington are located in undesirable neighborhoods. These areas can be dangerous, especially at night. Additionally, the quality of the rooms and other amenities at cheap hotels is often not very good. By contrast, many of the nicer hotels in Washington are located in prime locations near attractions and restaurants. They also offer much better accommodations, including larger rooms, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary breakfast.
Finally, cheap hotels in Washington usually do not include cancellation policies. If your travel plans change last minute, it can be difficult or impossible to get a refund from a cheap hotel. By contrast, most of the nicer hotels in Washington allow guests to cancel their reservations without penalty. So, if something comes up and you need to cancel your trip, you won’t lose your money.
In conclusion, there are a few compelling reasons to avoid cheap hotels in Washington D.C. and spend a little more for a nicer hotel. The nicer hotels are located in better neighborhoods, offer better amenities, and have more forgiving cancellation policies.
