Wyndham Washington, Washington, DC

Advantages: Read opp
Disadvantages: none i can think of

...Well now that my reviews for Chicago and Las Vegas have been completed I guess its time to move onto my third stop, don't worry only two more stops after this, in what was an amazing summer. The next leg of my journey took me to the state capital of Washington DC. The roots of American democracy and the political capital of the world. This was actually my last stop before coming back home, however I just felt like writing about this now. I had pre booked my ticket to DC whilst I was in London with American Airlines from Chicago; it set me back about £150, which for a peak time in mid July was not bad what so ever. Having stayed in DC for a week this review will focus more on the sights and places I visited, if I forget to mention the obvious places to see its because I didn't really go their and I therefore don't see the need to mention...

...THE TRIP: My trip to Washington DC was a very educational, fun filled, and an exciting trip. I got to see things that I have never seen before.

When you visit Washington DC, I would recommend you go see: The White House, Ford's Theatre, ESPN Zone, The Capital Building, Veterans Memorial, Reflecting Pool, and Holocaust Museum. These are just some of the fun places to go while in Washington DC, but there are tons more. I hate only one thing about it, it is very crowded. AFTER THE TRIP: I would not do anything...

...My husband and I visited Washington DC in October 2007, whilst traveling around the States. We stayed for 3 nights, at the Allen Lee Hotel. Washington DC is an interesting city. Its history is in stark contrast to its modern political face and the side that is shown in movies and on TV. What struck me immediately about Washington DC were the open spaces, not just in the parks and at the water front but also when simply walking down the street; it's a nice change from the claustrophobia of many US cities. Because there was so much to see in Washington DC, we opted for a tour on one of the many open top buses that circle the city and surrounding area. At $39 for a 24hr, hop on-hop off pass, this was a real bargain and the best way to see everything in the city, in my opinion. From the war memorials and Arlington cemetary to the White...
