The Best Navy Yard Hotel: Hampton Inn
Why: Free Breakfast, Low Weekend Rates
There are three hotels within walking distance to the Navy Yard Metro. We suggest prioritizing the Hampton Inn because breakfast is offered for free and weekend rates are often lower than the nearby Homewood Suites or Courtyard. Still because rates often vary we also suggest using the hotel deals widget below to find out which of the three are most affordable for your stay. All three of these brand name hotels charge for parking. All three offer free wifi. Each hotel is in close proximity to the Nationals Ballpark. Navy Yard sits on the edge of downtown expansion toward the stadium. Business travelers might appreciate this hotel for its access to specific government buildings and modest savings over downtown options; tourist might choose this location for proximity to baseball. Regardless, if you don’t fall into these categories its worth exploring other options because the savings here is not that great relative to downtown DC. If you do chose this location give Hampton Inn a look first and use the widget below to compare rates.
Navy Yard Neighborhood: Navy Yard is an urban neighborhood in southeast Washington on the Anacostia River. Located on the green line, Navy Yard is a mix of government and commercial buildings, high-rise apartments, and newly built townhouses. This area has been built up in the past several years, and is being populated by young professionals and government personnel, particularly military members, as well as young families. This area has become very safe in the past couple of years, but as in any urban area, you should exercise caution when walking around at night. Nationals Park is the main attraction in Navy Yard, and the neighborhood gets incredibly busy during games. Yards Park offers a number of attractions, from restaurants and bars, to shopping, to outdoor activities. In winter, Navy Yard offers an ice skating rink and in summer, kids especially like to jump around in Yards Park’s water feature. In the summer, Yards Park also offers a concert series and outdoor movies.
