Washington DC is a beautiful part of the country. There are many other
beautiful parts of the country (remember - the USA is roughly the size of
Europe), but I'd recommend staying in DC. DC has tons upon tons of museums,
libraries, and monuments (such as the presidential memorials, Lincoln,
Washington, Jefferson, FDR - and the Smithsonian Museums) - almost all of them
are free to go into or are very cheap. They'll give you an excellent sense of
all of the good parts of America.
I don't know about hostels or cheap hotels however.
