3) we plan to travel via subway - we do not plan to rent a car - so we do not mind if (for example) we stay at a hotel near Bethesda, if we have convenient subway access
4) we will likely use one of the 2 DC area airports - either IAD or DCA.
Are there any promos out there, for DC (and surrounding area) hotels?
Right now, the Embassy Suites near the National Airport which is going for just under $100 per night, seems to be the best bet - we would of course need to book 2 rooms.
If you really want to spend time in DC proper (and not so much in the suburbs), I'd highly recommend staying in the city if you can afford it, as it will be a much better experience overall. If you provide some idea of what you want to do or see and more or less what your budget is I could give you more pointed recommendations.
FWIW, hotels in DC run promos all the time, it's just a matter of looking out for them. I once nabbed two rooms for the price of one at the Sofitel.
