If you are traveling to the Washington, DC area, Washington Suites Alexandria is a good choice if traveling on a budget.
We had a suite that was very clean, but sparsely decorated. The hotel used to be an apartment building and you definitely feel like you are staying in one and not a hotel.
There was a good sized kitchen in our suite that was very convenient. It wasn't incredibly modern, but it did the job.
Staff was very nice and ready to help us with anything. The free continental breakfast was decent and free chocolate chip cookies at night were a nice touch.
If you don't mind the lack of luxury, this is a perfect place for frugal travelers.
