washington dc motel ???
i have a chance to go to d.c. this weekend (7/17) and was wondering if anyone could suggest a less expensive motel w/ parking and either close enough to walk to the memorials or real close to the metro rail thingy. i will be riding in from I70/I270. i would like a relatively safe place to park the scooter.
thanks for any help

Crystal city will be very expensive to stay. Look for the west side of town, say Falls church or thereby. Nothing will be close enought to walk to the memorials unless you stay across from the White House and that is $$$$$. We have stayed at the Red Roof in Oxon Hill Md during Rolling Thunder about $85 per night but no metro nearby that we'd trust to leave the scooter.
Good luck

We stayed in the downtown area a few years ago. I thought it was great! One block to the Metro rail station. We walked to many of the attractions, White House etc. Took the Metro to Arlington. Metro is the best way to get around! Excellent transit system! For a country boy I was very sceptical but we had a really nice, safe visit to DC.

When I attended National Police Week with the Blue Knights, in DC, in '02, '03 and '04 we would always stay at the Quality Governors Inn, 6650 Arlington Blvd. (US 50), in nearby Falls Church, VA. During those days, we paid something like $90 per night and there was a Metro station nearby. It's been a while since I've been there, so you might call them at 703-532-8900 if you're interested. Good luck fighting that D.C. traffic! Hope this helps.

Red Roof Inn in China Town is right next to the metro and a nice place to stay. As for parking and close to the metro, you can't beat LeFante Plaza, but it's pricey. I've stayed in both.
