The Dupont Circle Hotel is indeed a 15 minute walk, but it is a very
straightforward walk on level terrain and the amenities/neighborhood
make it worthwhile. The State Plaza hotel is a much shorter walk and
it is cheaper, but not as great a value.

The Kimpton hotels are indeed far—we're not expecting a lot of people
to book there, but we included them anyway because we got such a great
deal.
