Help with a Washington DC Hotel Please.

[montymouse]

I am looking into booking a short break to Washington and then onto NYC via Amtrak and was looking for some recommendations for a decent hotel in Washington. I will be travelling with my 70 year old mother so we need a room with 2 beds and would like it to be in an area not too far from the main tourist sites. Will be arriving Saturday lunchtime and then getting a train on Monday morning. Am expecting to get a hop on, hop off bus on the Sunday so we can whizz round.......any tips anyone????

Help much appreciated,

Thanks

Washington is on our wish list of "maybe one day" so I can't really help and if I start looking I'll start nagging my hubby

Uscwest may be able to help with some suggestions for you.

Not much help really am I

I was hoping someone better informed would come along

I have stayed in Washington and love the place but always tend to stay at the Sheriton Premiere at tysons corner because the Mall is so close

Im absolutely sure there are more touristy friendly ones though. I tend to stay at the sheriton for business too which is how I found it

I see I suppose you could have said more intelligent

I actually meant, I was hoping someone more informed than me would come along so I didn't have to volunteer up my puny business hotel
