Residence Inn Capitol ReviewFour Native American tribes are 49% owners of this hotel, which makes this the first multitribal partnership with nontribal partners on land off a reservation. During the day, you can easily walk to the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and other Mall museums, as well as to Capitol Hill; at night, however, this part of town shuts down. Its proximity to the Hill and the Mall translates into a steady clientele of government employees and tourists. Hotel features mimic the look of the Indian Museum. Guest rooms evince a Native American cultural motif through the use of etched-wood headboards, artwork, and other design elements. This is an all-suite hotel whose rooms are twice the size of standard hotel rooms, starting with the studio suites, and increasing in size from there. All units have fully equipped kitchens. The hotel's eco-friendly practices are too many to list here, but include generating 50% of its electricity from wind power, use of fluorescent lighting throughout the hotel, and carbon offset and guest recycling programs. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
