One more washington DC trip planning question!

[mouseclick1]

I currently have 2 reservations for our February trip. I have a $99 rate at the Radisson Barcelo in the Dupont Circle area, and a $174 rate at the Embassy Suites in Old Town, Alexandria. Would one area be better than the other for a family of 4, with 11 and 13 year old boys? Thanks for any input!
