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.
We expect you to make a nuisance of yourself. We look forward to it!! :)
This is so nice of you, NnB! And, here I thought WE would be the nuisances. LOL. FReepers are just the greatest! I am so sorry that I missed you and Pippin when we were in DC this summer.

We certainly did take advantage of it! Internet access was a priority everywhere we stayed, and wireless access for my husband's laptop was even better. That's why we hopped from one Holiday Inn to another all through our vacation...almost all Holiday Inns have wireless now. I guess it is the age we live in. And I remember when a *color* tv was THE deciding factor in where my family would stay on our vacations (of course, I was a VERY young child then). How things have changed! LOL!
I am looking forward to this trip. Even though, after spending several Januarys in DC, I know it is not the best month of the year to visit, we'll still have a great time.
