– The Adams Mark hotel, with its $1,200 presidential suite.
– The Ritz-Carlton, with its $1,500 Ritz-Carlton suite.

So this time George Bush will be staying at the Drury Inn at Union Station, flagship of an economy-minded motel chain.
Room rates: $72 to $120 a night.
No presidential suite.
At least not yet. A plaque soon will adorn the wall.
While some employees of the hotel expressed surprise at this first-time stopover by a president at a Drury Inn, the owner is tickled.
”We`re very proud he selected us,” Charles Drury said.
