If you wanted to knock it down to a Category 5, consider the Residence Inns in Rosslyn or Courthouse. Easy to get to/from DC, whether by Metro, Uber, or even on foot if you enjoy walking/running.

I always check rates for all days I'm going to be in DC. Rates fluctuate wildly based on demand. Your five-night stay might include a $300 night followed by a $120 night. I know the 5-night award is *usually* better, but check to be sure.

If doing Arlignton, VA, I'd say do Rosslyn instead of Courthouse -- if only because two metro lines are better than one. The Residence Inn there has breakfast even for non-Golds/non-Platinums.

From Rosslyn hotels to Georgetown is easily walkable within 20 minutes. From Rosslyn to downtown D.C., the metro is there.
