New York City

Double Tree Inn Suites - Times Square
Moderate/Splurge

Centrally located this quality hotel is convenient to numerous tourist attractions. There are many different room configurations, the least expensive being the Two Doubles with sofa bed. For New York City this would still be considered a good value versus booking two rooms elsewhere. I found the best prices on Expedia whose search engine accommodates the request for five people in one room.

Chelsea Star Hotel
Budget/Moderate

This is a budget/hostel hotel. There are room types that will accommodate a family of five, including the Deluxe Room which is like a studio suite with one queen bed, a king size sofa bed and a rollaway at $10.00 extra. If your kids are little they could all fit in the king size bed. The hotel is located near Penn Station and Madison Square garden and about five blocks from the Empire State building. The apartment suites can also accommodate five people but at an additional $70. This is a "walk up" hotel -- there is no elevator.

Hilton Garden Inn Tribeca
Moderate

The Hilton Garden Inn is a brand new hotel located in the Tribeca neighborhood just below Canal Street. It is near China Town and Little Italy. The Metro stop is steps away from the front door. It is a small hotel. The front desk provides maps of the city. Our room was too small for a rollaway so my son graciously slept on the floor. Their were two double beds and a nice bathroom. They do not advertise it on their website as a room that will sleep 5, but if you call or email them directly they will allow it. Guest room amenities include a microwave and refrigerator along with high speed internet access. Room service is available in the evenings. The front desk personnel were friendly enough. A complimentary coffee service is set up in the foyer in the morning.

Hotel Belleclaire
Moderate/Splurge

The Family Suite can sleep up to six people with three "full size beds" in a two bedroom configuration. There is a refrigerator in the room as well. The rooms have been recently renovated. This hotel is located in the Upper West Side near Central Park and a couple short blocks to the Metro Station. This hotel would be considered moderate to budget for NYC standards.

The Avalon/ Vincci Hotels
Moderate/Splurge

This hotel is located in Midtown Manhattan near the Empire State Building. If you have children under 12 this hotel has fairly reasonable (for NYC) accommodations including double rooms and junior suites and deluxe suites. Children 12 and under stay for free. If your children are over 12 you will be charged $60 per child resulting in an additional $180 for a family with three teens for example.

Hyatt Regency on the Hudson
Budget/Moderate

Technically, this hotel is located in Jersey city, but it is just across the Hudson from NYC with easy public transportation. There are views of the Statue of Liberty and the Hudson River. The hotel has rooms with two double beds for reasonable rates (weekend rates being the lowest in fact as low as $119.00) at the time I called 2/2009. They will allow a family of five to sleep in the room but will not allow a roll away. So somebody has to sleep on the floor or three in the bed. This is a more common accommodation in a US hotel than in Europe. Rooms include a refrigerator.

Washington DC

Sleeps 5 Blog Article: Washington DC: Things to Know Before You Go

Hotel Harrington
Budget/Moderate

This bare bones basic hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Washington DC tourist sights. Almost all major sights are within walking distance. There are 26 "deluxe" family rooms that can all accommodate 5 people some up to 6 people. If it appears that the larger rooms are booked already, contact the hotel via email to find out what other rooms can accommodate a family of five -- they are not necessarily listed on the reservations page. This is not an extra frills hotel but is decent and clean. There is parking available with a garage nearby.

Washington Suites - Georgetown
Moderate

The Washington Suites - Goergetown Hotel is fairly centrally located in the Georgetown neighborhood. The nearest Metro station is two blocks away. The White House is nine blocks away. The hotel can accommodate as many as six in their one bedroom deluxe suites. The rooms include an equipped kichenette. Complimentary breakfast is included in the rate and baked cookies are provided at check in. They have coin operated laundry facilities and an exercise room. We used our triple A (AAA) card for a significant discount when reserving. Please note this hotel has a very similar name to another more expensive hotel in the Georgetown neighborhood.

Hostelling International - Washington, DC
Budget

This hostel is centrally located. It has dorm style rooms (bunk beds) in four, six, eight and ten bed configurations. A family of five would need to book a room for six but at $26.00/night at the time of this writing it may be worth it in expensive Washington, DC. Some rooms are ensuite. Linens, towels, and lockers are available. A fully equipped self service kitchen is also available.

One Washington Circle Hotel
Splurge

Another centrally located hotel. These rooms include one bedroom suites with a king size bed and sofa bed, balcony and kitchen. The internet DC special included parking and two metro passes which puts it potentially in our moderate category if you would be using these services.

Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Homewood Suites by Hilton Durham-Chapel Hill
Budget

This hotel had large rooms with a kitchenette. The room configuration included one room with double beds and the living room that had a pull-out sofa. We slept our family of five plus grandpa in this room without much difficulty. A decent continental breakfast is included in the price. This hotel is fairly new. There is a nice outdoor swimming pool. Everything was clean and corporate. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is just off of I-40 between Duke University and the University of North Carolina. The hotel is about 15 minutes away by car from both campuses. We have a AAA membership which gave us the greatest discounted rate.
