The Beacon Hotel offers great value if you're looking for a central yet affordable option in Washington, DC. It's slightly farther from the Smithsonian museums compared to other hotels, but the cost savings more than make up for it—especially with a Whole Foods just around the corner.
While it's about a mile walk to the National Mall and main attractions, we found it manageable. Pro tip: rent a Lime scooter or grab a city bike for a faster, more fun way to explore. There's also free water in the room as well as in the gym on floor "T"
If you're okay trading a few extra minutes of commuting for a better price, this spot is well worth considering.
