Do you want to stay in Georgetown, West End, Adams Morgan, the Mall area, etc. Below I have a map of the major neighborhoods in the District of Columbia. If you want to see the National Mall with all the museums and memorials then you might want to stay in Southwest DC that is within walking distance of all the sites.

I have saved the best for last. Washington DC Hotels from Yahoo Travel has a great ability to refine your hotel search. Look at the links above the hotel listings. You will see Type, Price, Hotel Class, Neighborhood, and Located Near. These buttons allow you many options to refine your hotel search. I really like the interact map to the right that shows you where each listed hotel is located. One thing that took me some time to figure out was How do I UNDO the Narrowed Search Results. Look carefully below the Type box and you will see “NARROW RESULTS TO:” click on the X to un-narrow the results. After I figured that out I had a blast with Yahoo Travel’s narrow hotel search function.
