Some of you might have seen my previous thread about relocating to DC/NoVa (still very undecided!).

I'm trying to organize a short trip to look for accommodation but my relocation package is very small and I'm struggling to find a reasonably priced hotel/motel.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to stay for less than $100 per night (the cheaper the better!)... a hotel, motel, B&B, small room to rent? A clean room without bugs near any Metro station will do in either VA/MD/DC.

Thanks!

If you're feeling adventurous, Vacation rentals, private rooms, sublets by the night - Accommodations on Airbnb ?

Else, Kayak tells me this one is around $75/night the first week of August (random dates), and would put you in Old Town, walking distance to the metro (albeit a long walk):

Travelodge
700 North Washington St
Washington St and Wythe St
Alexandria, VA 22314 US

Wow! I'd never heard of Airbnb but am absolutely LOVING it! Thanks so much for the tip!

My problem with the Travelodge is finding a non-smoking room.

Anyway, Airbnb looks perfect -- plus what a great way to gain some well-needed local knowledge!

I tried searching for hostels in the area but came up blank so thanks for the link! It's been many years since my backpacking days so I'm obviously a bit rusty, but this will make for a good back up if I can't find anything on Airbnb. Thanks!

How close to the Metro do you have to be? There is a hotel in Vienna called the Vienna Wolf Trap Hotel. Glamourous, it is not. But it is adequate. It's about 1 mile to the Vienna Metro. We stayed there when we had fleas in our house and it was fine. I wouldn't recommend it for a luxurious stay, but it has the basic amenities, and is in a very nice neighborhood, and you can even walk to some places. It looks like you can get a hotel room during the week for $72. That's when the rooms are most expensive in DC. During the weekend you can stay at a Marriott for that price, but the weekdays are pricey.
