Nowadays, seems like no hotel/motel room is a good value. You can try the Quality Inn on NY Avenue in NE DC which is like two blocks from Glorious Health Club. Used to be able to get a room for $70/night. Now I’ve seen them going for upwards of $300/night some nights which is CRAZY for that rundown property. Across NY Ave from Quality Inn is the Ivy City Motel, but recently there’s been stories of police targeting this property especially looking for drug use. Be cautious and smart, and as always, YMMV. Good luck and have fun!
P.S. to the member who asked about the Motel 6 convention center, if that’s the one by Union market in NE DC, it looks really really rough, same goes for Red Carpet Inn on NY Ave NE (formerly a HOJO, I think). Haven’t been to either and not sure I’d be willing to try (they’re that rough looking) and I’ve stayed/played at some D-U-M-P-S!!
