Silver spring is closer....
I suggested Rockville because it seemed that you wanted something nice. See up thread about a new place there. If you just want decent food, eli's is fine

Thank you
I just read all 22 pages. I'm going with 7 kids so I think we will stay local and eat at. Eli's every night!
District Bistro is closed right now.
I was planning on booking hotel on Priceline but after reading I see I can be hit with $40 parking fee .
I would have liked a pool and I see a lot of hotels don't have that.
I wanted to spend $100 a room . On priceline I can usually get $75 plus taxes for 3.5 star.
Is it crazy to book in Washington this way? Any other ideas where I should try first?
I'm only preferred Starwood so would get a regular room for 7000. Is that better?

I'm looking into going with my wife & 1 year old baby to DC for this chal hamoed (sukkos) any advice offered would be really appreciated!
Where should we sleep,  I would preferably book with points,  I have 10k Ihg but I have more than enough UR points to transfer from, I have like 25k Marriott though I should get another 70k now and I have a free night with Marriott (cat 1-4)  I would also consider Ihg paying so that I can score my "Ihg into the nights" challenge http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=44838.0
