If you are on a budget, a good choice based on numerous reports is the Cherry Clossoms Hotel, which is close to the embassy and right across the street from Robinson Mall. Their website is:

We will be staying there before and a week after Joy's Feb. 7 interview. Maybe we will see y'all. :)

I put Claudeth and her Mom up in the Bayview for a week. It was right across the street from the embassy and the cost wasn't too bad. I have a worthless friend that would always stay at the Swagman but I have heard that it may not be the nicest place around :unsure:
