I would look for something near 14th St. NW/Logan Circle--lots of nice, cool restaurants/bars where you won't feel out of place as suburban mom. We stayed in the Washington Plaza, which has a nice outdoor pool if you're going to do it in the summer, and went to Le Diplomat. There are also a couple of hotels in the Kimpton group that looked interesting in that area. I feel like H Street is more for young hipsters, not us old ladies
