Spend a weekend exploring the nation's capital, and get some holiday shopping done too by staying at this hotel just outside D.C. The Sheraton Crystal City in Arlington is offering rooms at $89 per night over winter weekends.

That's a 50% savings on surrounding dates -- savings that can go toward all those gifts. Stay Thursday through Sunday until Jan. 30.

A Metro station right next to the hotel puts guests a few minutes from downtown D.C. The property is also down the road from the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, which features more than 170 stores, as well as Pentagon Row's restaurants, shops and outdoor ice-skating rink. The hotel also provides a free shuttle to and from the airport.
