Check out the Hampton Inn Chain. Usually very good value mid range hotels.
when we went last year it was in november so the rates were not too bad and we stayed in the centre,but they have a good underground system so look a bit further out that is near to a station.
Washington is rubbish. Full of civil servants. Very dreary and bleak place.
Most impressive looking undergounnd ever. Quite a dirty city though but certainly worth a good 4 days or so for Museums and LANDMARKS. Only place you see the homeless lieing about on benches in suits.
There is a Washingotn in England. Why not go there instead of all the way to America?
Just ask Barrack if he'll put you up for a few nights. Simples
I had a home in Washington DC for many years, I rather enjoyed the place.
The sights to visit that have already been mentioned are well worth it, and wander over to the Chesapeake bay for fantastic seafood.
Take a look here http://washington.org/
Enjoy :)

most of the museums and the zoo which if you have not seen a giant panda is also worth visiting are free to get in.
Avoid the bus station if you can for first impressions. Remember getting there, years ago on my own, at 20, and just when you step off the bus that many hustlers come up to you offering you a taxi, a tour or wanting money to feed their babies.
Also on the way back queing to get on the bus I had a very surreal conversation with this southener in his 40's telling me how he had never had a woman but when the 'good lord' thought it was time he would. When I say conversation I mean him talking and me praying for an early departure. Made sure I sat next to anyone on the bus barring him.
