Bear Branch Nature Center

Great staff. Nice rooms. Free diffused ice water. Know that this hotel is on the Gallaudet campus, a deaf university. Has a shuttle to Union station. Plan your excursions on that time. The nearest metro stop is an easy 15 minute walk as an alternative

We stayed five nights for a family DC trip. The check-in was smooth and easy. Staff were friendly and helpful when I needed to have Amazon deliver a knee brace for my son. The location, being a 2-minute walk to Union Station, was a HUGE plus for us as my son couldn't walk as much as we planned. The only downside, which was nothing the hotel could control, is that the area is loud (especially if you're not from a big city). The hotel provided ear plugs. Amenities we enjoyed included: nice shampoo & conditioner, free espresso machines, and free bag-check. We'd stay here again.
