I followed your advice and this is what I came up with: I went up to $87 per night for 4* at Dupont/Woodley and that was rejected. Next I tried the 4* at Downtown/White House and Convention Center/Capital Hill. I got the Grand Hyatt Washington for $80 per night. Congratulations, you got your price of $80 for a 4-star hotel room.
