The Best Clarendon / Court House Hotel: Hilton Garden Inn
Why: Close to Metro, Often Lowest Rates

There are four hotel options near the Clarendon and Court House Metro station. We recommend the Hilton Garden Inn as a first choice because it is only two blocks from the Court House Metro and on average has cheaper rates than the nearby Residence Inn. All of the hotels charge for parking, and each hotel will provide free wifi. The Residence Inn offers free breakfast, something that the Hilton Garden Inn does not do. Clarion Suites is often the most affordable of the bunch but is a five block uphill walk to the Metro. Weekend travelers will find that rates drop quite a bit over weekdays and thus should look at all these options for the best rates. Since a vast majority of all reviews are positive for the Hilton Garden Inn we suggest looking into this as a first option if you are staying near the Clarendon / Court House Metro.
