Wow! What amazingly helpful ideas and suggestions. We will finalize decision in the next few days and let you know what we went with. Thanks so much to all!!

We want to go as inexpensively as possible - without staying in a total dive or a terrible neighborhood. I was hoping $100ish a night. For that reason PRICELINE seems best, but worried about extra kid and one bed would be hard.

Hello! What a great forum, but I'm a little overwhelmed. My biggest question is this : we have 3 children - ages 7,11 & 13. I don't want to have my "tweens in a separate room. I'm fine with a sleeping bag on the floor for the youngest. Has anyone ever exceeded 4 per room? Any suggestions? Best to book through Priceline or Hotwire? Also, we want to take the kids to DC for the 1st time. Our main goal is to see Smithsonians and some monuments. Having never been to DC, not sure how easy getting around is. My first choice is White House area, but what other areas should I consider? Thanks for any help/suggestions!
