Ok I have found reasonable rooms within 3 blocks of the capital in a 4 star hotel. The link is here http://washingtoncourthotel.com/. Now DC cheap is 102.00 not a great deal in my home town but for a 4 star that close to the capital its a steal. The rate is for two doubles under the chilly weekend special.

Just got a room in Germantown, MD. I’m told the last room at the Hilton near the Metro station was just booked in the last hour. That’s very encouraging.
