There are some very fine hotels not too far from the Museum, but they tend to be a bit pricier than, say, a smaller hotel or B&B in another part of the city. As others have said, Metro is fairly extensive (though not always dependable for us locals) and Uber and Lyft are widely used, as well as cabs, which are now well marked and readily available.

Enjoy DC.
