69$rooms for MOW

[Guest guest]

Hey Everyone:

I found some $69 rooms in Wash., D.C. - actually in Arlington. I

used

to like DoubleTree (weekends half price, about $80) but that is 179$

during week and full May 3, I was trying to negotiate a group rate.

I am negotiating for Day's Inn in Arllington, so far $69 but a bigger

discount if it is 10 rooms or more. That rate was on basis of 2

people per room, imagine if it was four it would be slightly higher.

I did ask, the rooms open to the exterior. It has a free shuttle to

the Metro Station and I will not guarantee which station it is but

the

station the Doubletree ran to in Arlington was right in front of a

BIG

shopping mall with places to eat. So you could catch the shuttle to

the mall too.

The Metro has escalators and most places in D.C. it has elevators

too.

I will not swear to the Arlington end, I don't remember.

So those who cannot do stairs don't have to. Maps are well posted

and

at each observation booth (by entrance where you use tickets you get

out of a machine) there are paper maps, too. The whole Metro is

color

coded.

Meanwhile I am looking for rates for a place that does NOT open to

the

outside.

Arlington is much safer than D.C., is about a 12 min. drive so I am

told. There are a lot of people out at night because across from the

mall is a walk-in (arcade) type mall and a strip of restaurants on

the

street, including one that is buffet with a name that has to do with

markets, I don't remember it.

I am asking for the rates for nights of May 2 and May 3 - just in

case

somebody (like me) wants to stay over and see sights (Great Art for

free, several museums).

If you are interested could you e-mail me - tonight would be good -

altho it doesn't have to be but I told them to call me back tomorrow

before 9:30 a.m. and then I should know if we are interested in under

10 rooms or over 10. At this point it is not a commitment, just an

interest you are sending me a note about.

Please e- me if you are interested - even if it is after 9:00 Sat a.m.

Dear Carol & Jeaninne,

I'll be interested in a room for May 2nd if there isn't going to be a bus

from NJ.

If I have to get there on my own, I'll need to leave Tuesday late afternoon.

Still

working on finding people for a bus.
