I've paid $53 out the door for the Comfort Inn in Dulles. Not amazing but also not as bad as some of the others. If you're on reserve, I believe Altitude Pads is $175/mo. Also, I've traded Dulles for CLT before. Some people want to be there. A trade is worth a shot.
p.s. I overheard an IAD FO in the crew room the other day talking about how bunk it was that guests weren't allowed in their crashpad. Are you kidding? It's for sleeping and quiet. You don't live there yo! If you do, it's not a crash pad.
