The Golf Course at Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club

"Guest rooms with plaid bedspreads and creamy wall coverings overlook either a park or the golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones and Rees Jones"

"Ah, the golf course"

"But in the same breath, the 271-room Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel has a cosmopolitan side that struts in the form of in-room gadgetry (iHome entertainment center, 37-inch flat-screen TV, touchscreen Kohler shower system in the suites) and an in-cart GPS system for the 18-hole championship golf course that should come with NASA clearance"

"Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club is one place that offers afternoon tea to all; you need not stay overnight to experience this lovely tradition"

"Most guests are here on university business or golf outings (the reason the preferred room type is the golf-view option), but all travelers electing to bunk here are in for a pleasant stay"
