(planning on taking my teens to D.C. this spring)
The Marriott Wardman Hotel is terrific and a 1/2 block off the Metro redline. It was where THE BIG inagural Ball was; my neighbor went. Its also the Nat'l Zoo Metro stop. But you'll pay $240 a night mid week. Suggest you get the Marriott weekend rate if you can stay Fri-Sat, and at least spend 2 nights there. A quick Metro run into Union Station (Capital Hill)
