Good point about the hotels in Rockville. That’s usually what we do. We normally park at Shady Grove and ride in. Although, with the new Silver line open, some of the hotels out by Dulles give pretty good weekend deals, so I am tempted to stay out that way and park at Wiehle-Reston East and take the Silver line in. Any thoughts on that?
I left before the Silver line became active, but that’s a pretty good plan, and the safety factor is fairly maxed out over there in that region. Here in the fall, the Dulles hotels aren’t pulling in the same rate of customers, so the discounts are out there. I think I got a $65 rate for a really nice place just two miles away from Dulles earlier this year. That’s a heck of a lot better than DC/Arlington hotel rates (nothing below $120 a night, and most wanting $250 for a nicer hotel).
