Frederick Douglass and his wife bought this house in 1877. Tours are available during the day and are very worthwhile. The visitor center as well as the movie they show are dated but also worthwhile. Frederick was born a slave sometime around 1818 and would go on to become a highly respected abolitionist, newspaper owner/editor, civil rights advocate and staunch advocate for women’s rights. He would die in this home in 1895.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We had great omelettes for breakfast."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"All good, except parking. You might get lucky and grab one of the few spots out front, pay for overnight garage parking (which can cost almost as much as the room), or take your chances and risk a ticket or tow. To be fair, to be faaair…, the hotel did disclosure that there is no parking available. "
