Dupont Circle Embassy Inn by FOUND
Small but clean room. Suited our needs perfectly. I enjoyed the quick contactless check-in and not having to remember a room key when leaving. I noticed others having issues with the online check in when they had international phone numbers. Just something to consider when booking.
