1484271751_08_thumbs_upThe Best NoMa Hotel: Courtyard
Why: Steps Away from the Metro Station

There are three hotel options within walking distance to the NoMa or New York Ave. Metro station. Of the three we recommend prioritizing Courtyard because the hotel entrance is literally in front of the Metro station. Each of the three hotels will mirror one another in terms of price point an amenities. Parking at each option runs over $40 per night. Our research told us on average weekend rates are often the lowest at the Courtyard. The problem with these three options is that hotels in better locations generally run the same rates. The drawback isn’t nessecary the hotels, but the neighborhood. The Noma area isn’t all that welcoming and is undergoing gentrification. Make sure to check out staying at hotels near Metro Center or Chinatown before settling on NoMa. In any case, if staying near the NoMa station is a priority, or you can find a good deal look at Courtyard as the best first option.
