Are there any extended stay facilities near the airport that are also near a metro station?
Wouldn't the metro be our best bet for getting around?
A cab from the outlying airport costs about $40.
I think if we try to get a block of rooms it is less expensive.
In 2001, I was late in booking and did not get into the Freeper Hotel. But when Gore and his friend Chad stopped hanging around and didn't steal the election, Democrats canceled their rooms en mass. LOL I wonder why?
Anyway by calling the hotel on MY WAY to DC at layovers I eventually got a room there.
Something to think about.
The extended stay facility was just the first thing I thought of in regard to FReepers being able to get together.
It seemed like a kitchen would be a good idea. That being the case, many hotels have kitchenette style rooms which would suffice, I'm sure.
So if public transportation is the first order selector, any place along the metro corridor would probably serve. (I will do some research.) Keep in mind, my offer to transport folks from BWI also extends to providing escort to other destinations as well. I expect to make a nuisance of myself.
I like a selection that puts everyone on this side of the Potomac, and the facility I mentioned has only the Anacostia river to get across to get into Washington.
I don't know if you took advantage of it, Lori, but the Holiday Inn you stayed at had internet access set up in the lobby (two stations). Something else to consider.
