Washington, D.C has so many amazing historical landmarks that it’s hard to find a cheap hotel in the area.

Many of the hotels bump up their price tags, simply due to the fantastic historical value you can find near them.

To help you find a decently priced hotel that still gives you a great service, here is a quick little list to help you plan your trip and book the best for your budget.

The cheapest areas around Washington, D.C. are actually in the state of Virginia.

Places like Arlington, Rosslyn, Pentagon City and Crystal City are all much cheaper than D.C. itself.

If you were hoping to go with the cheapest area that is still close to the city, you could stay in Virginia and take the metro into DC.

But now, back to D.C.

The cheapest locations are in Mt Pleasant, Capitol Hill, and H Street Corridor.

These areas will give you the best prices, in general.

If you want a cheap hotel that is still comfortable and fun to stay at, have a look at these.
