Re: Oct. NANOG - hotel? At the two month marker now.

One other word of advice, hotel space in this area has been pretty hard to
come by in recent months, book early or you may find that the closest
available room is in Maryland or at a resort like Landsdowne.

Also, there are lots of low-cost hotels on Route 28 north of the airport and
Route 7 east of Route 28 (amerisuites and the like).  All are a short drive
from the Hyatt (20-30 minutes tops).
