Thank you. I didn't think of graduations, I know there is a Women in Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center that weekend. We were looking to avoid Memorial Day weekend, thus the weekend before. As for neighborhoods, we're pretty open. Just would like within 10-12 miles. I've looked at Arlington, Silver Spring, Georgetown, & the Reagan Airport area. Cheapest thing I've found is a boutique hotel on Hotwire for $108/night but after research it doesn't sound really kid friendly.

We're planning on a trip to DC from 5/20-5/25/2011. I need a hotel for 4 (2 adults, 2-14 y/o) within 10-12 miles with free parking and prefer a metro stop nearby. My max is around $120/night WITH tax ($600) Is there a "best" timeframe to book? I'd like to get something like the 3.5-4* hotels for under $100 I've seen people reporting but nothing under $149 is coming up for me right now using the parameters I've set. any suggestions?
