Could you give us a specific dollar limit for a reasonable price?
Also, what counts as near? The IETF hotel is a block from the suburban

could commute from anywhere on the SEPTA rail system.

The location also has the advantage of being less-than-plane distance
for a lot of people in the eastern U.S.
