We like the Candy Cane Inn a whole lot. It's on the same side of Harbor Blvd as DL/DCA, on the same block (it's propery line is shared with DCA). It is an easy, well lit walk and they also have a free shuttle (hotel owned and operated, no sharing). It's a quiet motel (parking outside the door) with beautiful grounds and included breakfast (cereal, pastry, bagels, fruit and drinks). Very clean, nicely decorated rooms with a pretty little pool, kiddie pool and hottub area.

They offer a AAA discount if you have the membership (bring your card, they will ask to see it). It's not the least expensive place and not as close as those across the crosswalk, but a great 'what you pay and what you get' value. Very much worth the added 3-4 minute walk and extra few bucks per night.
