DC area hotel recommendations Got a friend coming to visit DC for some sight-seeing with his family and he's looking for a good, affordable hotel to stay at in the area with convenient Metro access and stuff like that. What places would you recommend to stay at? Doesn't have to be *in* DC, but at least in a spot where it would be easy to get there via public transportation.
Edit: This will be a family of 4. Husband, wife, and two elementary school aged kids.

Affordable also depends on time of year. The Embassy Suites in Chevy Chase Pavilion is right above the metro stop, but the prices vary wildly: http://www.embassysuitesdcmetro.com/ My family has stayed there for a very reasonable price, but it can get $$$ during prime tourist weekends.
