I have some friends at the Hilton Embassy Row (www.hiltonembassyrow.com (http://www.hiltonembassyrow.com) ) and they told me that they are discounting like crazy this week, because they seem to suddenly have some serious vacancies. From what they said rooms are running at $199 or less for the week.

Thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is making a trip to DC this week.
