Can't help with the CG recommendations, but I am guessing since you are going over Easter Break that you might be traveling with kids. We flew in to Dulles at the beginning of summer this year and stayed in a hotel in Virginia. A word of advice for getting into D.C., for the 6 of us it was cheaper to drive in and park than take the Metro. Also a lot more convenient to have a car in case a quick exit is needed.
Despite all the scare tactics to keep personal vehicles out of the District, parking was relatively easy to find and cost less than the Metro. You still had to walk to see everything, but if you planned where you wanted to visit on a certain day, it was easy to find either street or garage parking nearby. Most expensive was $29 bucks a day at the Reagan Trade Center, but it puts you right between the White House, Washington Monument, American and Natural History Museums, and sort of close to the National Archives.
D.C. parking uses an app called Parkmobile that allows you to pay and add time to your meter with your smart phone from anywhere. If it would only find an empty parking spot!
I think the break-even point would be between 4 and 5 people that makes it worth it to drive instead ride. But small children might make it more worthwhile to drive. Yes, there is some traffic. But by the time we got out the door in the morning, most of rush hour was over.
Just my $.02, either way, enjoy the trip!
