Haven't stayed at any of them. Looks like the 'Georgetown' one is not in Georgetown but halfway between the Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle Metro stops (4 blocks away from each?) self-parking there is $55 a day.It looks like there are 4 different Embassy Suite Hotels in the area. Does anyone have any suggestions which one would be the most convenient and have parking?
Crystal city maybe a bit closer to the metro, but a bit longer ride into the city, parking $42 a day, you could probably rent a bike from Capital Bikeshare and ride over to the tidal basin from there. I know people who regularly ride over from Arlington into DC.
Embassy Suites Alexandria is quite close to the metro, $35 parking, there is also a free trolley down to the waterfront, and a water taxi over to the wharf area (not free) Probably not the best location for cherry blossoms and DC monuments and museums since more travel involved.
As far as personal safety I would not worry about metro stops between northern VA and the downtown DC area.
