It's about a 45 minute train ride from Springfield to DC. Is that quick enough for you? I don't know.

It comes every 12 minutes. During rush hour, it's every 6 minutes.

Washington is a large city with extremely congested traffic. On a weekday, do not count on parking at a metrorail station, as many station parking lots fill up completely very early. If your hotel is not near a metro station, it may offer a shuttle ride to one nearby. Parking is generally much easier on weekends and holidays.

You can get plenty of advice here TripAdvisor: Read Reviews, Compare Prices & Book
They have a District of Columbia "forums" section, they also thousands of visitor reviews and rankings of local hotels, and thousands of visitor reviews and opinions of all the hundreds of Washington-area attractions, listed in order, starting with the most favorite and continuing to the least favorite. Keep in mind that Arlington and Springfield are listed separately under "Virginia."
