Motel 6
The Motel 6 is located on the north end of Georgia Avenue, less than a mile south of the border with Silver Spring, Maryland. If you'll be traveling with your pet, Motel 6 is a good choice as pets are allowed to stay for free. This motel also features an outdoor pool (great for cooling off during DC's notoriously hot and humid summers), free local calls, free morning coffee, wireless internet access and handicap accessible rooms. Although the motel does not have a restaurant onsite, the neighborhood has numerous dining options, including Ledo Pizza at 7435 Georgia Ave NW, Brightwood Bistro at 5832 Georgia Avenue NW and a Subway restaurant right across the street at 6900 Georgia Ave NW.
