We stayed at the Holiday Inn while visiting Washington DC and the monuments. The hotel is centrally, located and close to the Erin space museum in Capitol Hill. It’s also only a 10 to 15 minute walk to the wharf where you have great restaurants. There are typically taxis that are out front that you can grab for a ride. The hotel is conveniently located if you’re planning to visit the museums. I would stay here again. The only thing I would like to see better is the breakfast because it gets so busy. Not their fault just how it is.

Dining at the 21st Amendment was terrible. The special was an herb roasted chicken. When it arrived it looked like a tiny Cornish hen cut in half and over cooked. When we complained about the size we were told that they are small chickens. They eventually brought out more pieces and removed it from our bill. The bar servers were overwhelmed and they didn’t seem to know how to tend a bar.
