Re: Motel/Hotel info

[Guest guest]

I just did a quick search on Travelocity and there is a Fairfield Inn

in Laurel for $79 a night and that includes Continental Breakfast.

If you have AAA, the rate is $75 a night. There were also some

cheaper options in College Park or Silver Spring.....those were a

Quality Inn and Suites (College Park) and a Ramada in Silver Spring

and they were between $62 and $65 a night. Either of those are

probably about 20 minutes or so from the WMTC I think. Areas that

you could look would be Laurel (of course..LOL), College Park,

Greenbelt, Silver Spring and Columbia. I think those places are all

about 20 minutes from the Center!

I'll let you know if Stan has any other specific suggestions

If you guys are SURE you are going, you could also try Priceline. I

have been able to stay at the Sheraton College Park and the New

Carrolton Courtyard by Marriott for $50.00 per night using

Priceline. The thing is...once you book it, you pay for it. I have

NEVER had a problem with the hotels I have gotten through Priceline,

so I don't think you have to worry about the quality of the place

they select for you. Again, the only thing that you have to realize

is that there is no turning back!

I was also going to mention Priceline as an option! I've used them

several times as well for hotels and have gotten some really AWESOME

deals. I think I got a hotel at the BWI Airport (Candlewood Suites

with full kitchen) for like $40. You can get really good deals, but

like Susi said...you have to pay for it when you give them the info

and once it's payed for there are no refunds! It might be something

you could try like a week or two before (sometimes it's better to do

it last minute because they have a better idea of whether or not they

will have availability)! You can limit your areas, too....so you

won't get stuck somewhere really far away! Anyway, it's definitely

an option for getting a good deal

Also, does anyone know the names possible motels?

Darcy,

You might want to look into the Comfort Suites at

Laurel Lakes. It's only about 3 miles from the WMTC

(according to maps.com ) I'm paying $80.00 per night

and the room has a Refrigerator & Microwave and the

hotel offers a free continental breakfast as well.

I hope you and your friend can make it to the opening.
