Inexpensive Washington, DC Hotels
Special hotel rates are available through March 31 in conjunction with the movie National Treasure. Rates at Washington, DC’s Grand Hyatt start at $99. Other hotel deals are available as well, such as $109 at Melrose. The Grand Hyatt’s standard rate hovers around $300 per night, though it dips down so around $229 on lower occupancy nights — so $99 is an excellent deal. However any night where the $99 rate is available I’m almost certain that there’d be Priceline availability as well. A four-star bid in the Capitol Hill/Convention Center zone should yield the Grand Hyatt for $65-$70 on those nights.
