I've heard that BWI is much better. We'd do that, except that most of what he wants to visit is either south (Quantico) or downtown DC (Smithsonian.)
I'm in a nice location now, and we'll be able to move to the Embassy Suites in Old Town Alexandria for $140 a night for a two-room suite. Pretty decent.
My beloved will just have to suffer for a few days. This hotel doesn't have a liquor license, but I don't drink when I'm out of town so I didn't care. If he gets desperate we can go down the street to Olive Garden and visit the bar. :-)
Cold and wet! Well, it is January ...
