I used to work down there, but it's been about 4 years. Red Roof Inn was the closest and a decent hotel. That area has really built up in the last 5 years, still don't wander to far out of China Town at night, at least to teh north - not unless you want to be propositioned. My office was on 4th and "I" Street NW and I could look out of my window onto "K" street and see working "girls" in the middle of the day (some of them didn't have the proper equipment to be "girls"
Yeah the K Street "girls" are quite a treat.

I read someone say that the downtown area was safe. IT IS NOT SAFE. Even around national monuments and "tourist" attractions.DO NOT WONDER AROUND ALONE. Especially at night time. Even during the daylight i would suggest walking with a buddy. Alot of scummy ness in the downtown area of DC... Trust me on this one

You just described every single major American city.
Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
I still need to make my DC reservations; where are most people staying? Also, is anyone going to meet up before the show or sometime during the weekend?
June cannot get here soon enough!

I'm staying at Hotel Monaco. Anyone know the details on that place? Seemed to be fairly close to the venue.
I'm staying there as well, but sorry I don't know anything about it (except it's really close to the venue!) I know at least a few other PJ fans will be there as well....

looks failry decent from the outside small, i've never been in its about a block or 2 from the venue
i just booked at Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC Downtown.... is that good and close?
I'm staying there as well. Stayed there in 2006 when they played. It's a great hotel, very nice. It's pretty close to the Verizon Center too, i walked to it last time, i think it was about a 10 minute walk. Maybe i'll see you there.
There's a number of nice hotels in the Crystal City area of Arlington, including a Marriott. The nice thing about Crystal City is that there's an underground shopping area with metro access. Some of the hotels there have elevators that take you right down to that level. Further north arlington has some more hotels that are also walking distance to the metro.

The wife and I stayed there on our wedding night in September 2005. It was the nicest place I've ever stayed. Very modern rooms with high ceilings. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It's pricey but memorable. Enjoy your stay there. I'm pretty jealous. I really wanted to go to the DC show (my in-laws live about 30 minutes from there) but I couldn't get off work on Monday and couldn't really make a 5 hour drive home after the show and expect to function at work the next morning...
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Either my sarcasm detector is down or you haven't been here in the last 10 years? Anyplace downtown is about as safe as can be.
And to the those who mentioned the Courtyard or Hotel Monaco, both are nice (Monaco is super nice) and less than a five minute walk to the arena. In addition to proximity to the venue, both are excellent for restaurants, bars, sightseeing, etc. Both, along with the Red Roof Inn, are very good choices.
DC is broken into 4 areas.
NW northwest wiich is safe 100%.
SW southwest 95% safe
NE northeast you are safe mostly 75 % safe
SE southeast if you see SE on a street sign lock em up and try to get unlost
its a very funny city to move around in the capital is the center of the city and it all moves out from there in the. so yuo got a 1st st NE and SE and NW and SW out from there and it keeps going out. Very easy to get lost there. I am a single guy in the area willing to give guidance and help to any females 18-35 and have photos on myspace. Message me I work in dc and know the raods.

So you won't help out us old broads? Andrew, this isn't an online dating service!
Most of the hotels close to Verizon center are cool. Any hotel in Arlington or Bethesda on the Metro will be good as well. YOU can try and stay in mid town- 18&M/ Dupont area as well. Or around George Washington U.
