                <description><![CDATA[It’s downtown and near the social centre of Dupont Circle, but it also on a quiet street and has preserved an old-world bookish feel that is rare in America. It has a pleasant lounge with an open fire in winters that feels like the common room of some old college, and a very decent restaurant. A room is about $100.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It's a cheap, no frills motel in an out of the way location. There are plenty of 'mom and pop' motels in the USA, which offer a 'non fancy' but adequate room for $15-25 (£8 to 15) a night. They are often not 'right downtown', but are in safe, somewhat secluded locations - often near low priced shopping and such. Often local people use them. <br><br>I'd recommend: "How to retire on practically nothing"  (Loompanics press) for guidance.  A place that the author of that book recommends is the 'College Inn' in South Carolina.  Its rooms go for $15 to 20 a night as i recall. There are plenty of bargains in the states. One has only to look for them. There are also cheap eating places in Vienna.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Hotels in the District of Columbia tend to be very expensive, typically over $200/night. You can do much better just across the Potomac in Arlington, Virginia, near the metro stations of Rosslyn and Courthouse.  From there you can either take the metro back into DC or walk over the Key Bridge into Georgetown, where you can pick up an even numbered 30s bus or the metro to go further on your way.]]></description>
