The Baron Hotel

Clean room nice staff the beds are old and mattress is uncomfortable pillows were hard as a rock. Not many amenities but works out ok if you can manage for a few nights. Good location to Georgetown

Dated, but charming. No blackout curtains and you won't get much sleep. Mattresses are worn and nishaoes so expect some discomfort.

Good air conditioning. The place is average but the location is the best.

close to Pen Arts Building

This is definitely a budget hotel. Old hotel or apartments converted. Great location. Over the old Brickskeller beer institution. Easy to walk to buses on MA and PA avenues, short walk from Dupont Circle. Clean. Front desk staff. On the downside, only one plug in my room worked and the lobby has a bit of an "institutional disinfectant" smell. But, perfectly acceptable place for a non-profit or low budget traveler.
