Hotel for a week in DC
I'm looking for suggestions for a relatively inexpensive hotel (under $200/night) for my upcoming 1-week visit to Washington, DC. I have no problem with staying outside the city as long as the hotel is close to a Metro station. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I recommend St Gregory...see link below.
http://capitalhotelswdc.com/StGregoryHotelWDC_com/
This hotel is within your price range and is located near 3 metro stops. The nightlife immediately around the hotel is not exactly hopping (the area caters to businesses) but I think it would suit you well. We live in the DC 'burbs and spent the night at St Gregory in December after a meal nearby (at Galileo)...we will return again in October for a stay after a concert. The room wasn't fancy, but it was very large and clean with a nice bathroom. Our room also had a fully stocked mini kitchen -- this could be useful for you if you're staying a week.
David Greggory directly across the street is great for happy hour and/or dinner. There are lots of other restaurants within walking distance and I would not hesitate to walk around in that area after dark.

kurtchan,
Go to www.capitolreservations.com - a discount booking service for DC hotels. You will probably need to use the website to get a rate within your budget but it can't hurt to also contact them directly.
I can recommend the following places - all very well located and within your budget:
In order of preference...
1st - Hilton Embassy Row
2nd - Residence Inn Marriott Dupont Circle
3rd - Hilton Garden Inn Franklin Square
4th - Holday Inn ON THE HILL (415 New Jersey Ave, NW)
Don't consider any places without a NW address, except maybe Capitol Hill Suites.
Two places not on the discount website mentioned above but also worth a look are:
1) www.tabardinn.com
2) www.capitolhillsuites.com

Check www.biddingfortravel.com and bid on Priceline. My brother just went to DC and got a 4 star hotel for $85 a night.
