[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Looking at a few options, suites vs higher-end hotels. The advantage of the hotels are they are more likely to be walking distance to restaurants etc. Suites (like residence inn) tend to be further out but more space and separate rooms.[/quote]

Is this about DC? How often do you go to DC already, if you're local? I'm asking because for my kids, Metro is a big and fun part of going to DC. I do drive sometimes depending on destination and time constraints, but many times I've taken the Metro when I otherwise wouldn't need to just because they like it.

Embassy Suites in Alexandria is right by the Metro and is often recommended in a DC group I'm in. My kid that I take into DC often also loves being in either Rosslyn or Crystal City, both of which have places to stay near Metro stations and may be fun for them to walk around. Alexandria has the waterfront and Hooray for Books, Crystal City has National Landing, Rosslyn has McDonald's. 🤣

If your goal is just to see DC more rather than sleep there per se, I'd encourage you to make it an explicit goal and go for it, regardless of whether you do an overnight stay. In January 2024, we made goal to average monthly in and since have been about 18 times. Before that, it had been maybe once a year because the time never seemed perfect for planning a whole day. Many of our 18 visits are just for a few hours or one destination, but we've seen a lot and still have a huge list to go![/quote]
