Hotels under $200/night

I will be traveling to washington d.c. the 1st week in June with my sister, is it possible to get a nice hotel for under $200/night???

,,,,I don%26#39;t mind being outside the city if I am close to the subway and the ride is not too long to get to the major sights

I am assuming the subway is not expensive

Can anyone recommend any nice hotels in a nice area that meet this criteria,,,,

thank-you in advance

The first place I would would be Orbitz. If you see something you like, check the hotel%26#39;s website to see if it is the same price.

Hotels under $200/night

the thing is i don%26#39;t know the area and do not know what area to look in for hotels

There are tons of threads on the subject.

Start by looking at Downtown, Dupont Circle, Penn Quarter, across river in Rosslyn or Crystal City (VA).

That%26#39;s when this forum will be your guide. Don%26#39;t commit any money until you come back and ask about a few specific places that seem to fit your needs. It is almost impossible for a stranger to recommend a hotel just based on price and closeness to Metro. There are dozens.

What exact dates in the beginning of June will you be coming?

sunday june 7th through Tues June 9, leaving wed

I did a quick search on www.quikbook.com, marriott.com and hilton.com and found a few possibilities. (Be sure to check the reviews on TA to see if they might be a good fit for you.)

The Latham Hotel in Georgetown for $129/night. It%26#39;s about a 15 minute walk to metro, but the Circulator bus also picks up close by. And it%26#39;s a good location for evening dining options in Georgetown/West End. That%26#39;s definitely the best deal I saw.

Surprising, the Mayflower is coming up for $179/night, but that may be non-refundable. That would be a great option if you can get it. Check www.marriott.com (it%26#39;s a Renaissance hotel).

In Arlington, VA, near the Rosslyn metro (a good, safe location, just a few stops from the main tourist attractions) the Virginian Suites was available for $152 avg/night. Since you%26#39;re coming on a Sunday-Wed, the rate will likely change during your stay at most of the hotels so it%26#39;s best to calculate an average per night rate.

Also in Arlington, in Crystal City (also convenient to the city by metro and near National Airport), the Hampton in is coming up on the Hilton website for $139/night. This is a very good option and price for your dates.

If your dates are set, you could try booking on Hotwire. Book a 4* in Foggy Bottom and you should definitely end up near metro. If you do a 4* in other neighborhoods, you could be a little further from metro, but hey, if you can snag a deal you can spend some of your savings on taxis.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I have stayed in dozens of hotels in the DC area and being near the metro is a big plus. The last time I stayed at the Holiday Inn Key Bridge and I loved that location. It%26#39;s an easy walk over the bridge to Georgetown which I think you and your sister would enjoy and also a couple of blocks from the metro to take you into the tourist area. I just checked and you can get a room at $179 (advanced purchase).

thank-you very much, this is most helpful!!
