...a Candlewood in Fairfax, VA about 10 miles from McLean. Candlewood is a great product for a hotel.
Rooms: http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/candlewood/hotels/us/en/fairfax/wasrh/hoteldetail/hotel-room-rates
As I recall this hotel had a community use grill and picnic area, a free exercise room and free washer/dryer (pay for soap). The desk maintains a collection of DVDs. Across from the desk is a room called the "Candlewood Cupboard" which is stocked with snacks, drinks and microwave dinners for a reasonable price.
On the road I always make a deal at hotel rather than an apartment. Leases, deposits, utilities and furniture all kind of cramp my style.
ETA: A word to the wise: avoid the Wilson Bridge in the Beltway (I-495). I can't imagine why but this bridge OPENS and stops traffic in both directions somewhat regularly.
