Boutique here usually means under 150 rooms, a bar on the ground floor, and rooms that run smaller than a chain equivalent at the same rate.
Almost none of them have a self-park garage. Budget for valet on top of the room rate.
Germantown and the Gulch sit close enough to walk in and far enough to sleep. The blocks directly on Broadway do not.
Weekend minimums of two nights are common in spring and autumn.
