Everyone,

I subscribe to Travelzoo and the weekly deals come out on Wednesdays. The
list just came out and I was able to get a room for an incredible rate
($109) via the link below. They go quickly though, so you might want to
move quickly if interested. This hotel is a block away from a stop on the
Metro red line--I believe it's the zoo stop. --Joan Schuitema

$109 -- Washington, D.C., 4-Diamond Hotel (Regularly $389)
