I highly recommend the Embassy Suites near IAD over the Hilton. They're both Hilton chain hotels, around the same price (the ES is usually a few dollars cheaper), but the ES is much nicer. Plus, they have free drinks at their happy hour (5:30-7:00 every day).

alliance

Outstanding! I will check on the rates, but that sounds like the way to go.

goalie

ditto.

as for me....

event 1: it depends on leaving work in sfo
event 2: seat 14b (who who's next to me?)
event 3: please add goalie-sis as she lives in dc
event 4: please add goalie-sis
event 5: seat 14b
event 6: it all depends if i overnight at lax or go right back to sfo that night.

this is gonna be a blast tho i might not hotel it at iad as even tho i am older and bigger than goalie-sis, her military training (aka my health an well being ) might entice me to stay at her place in alexandria. she has also offered to review/rate/and otherwise opine (hey, i like that word) on any of the eating, drinking and touring places that will come up as suggestions.

mmartin4600

Free cook to order b-fast too.

AAA rate is 113, 109 prepay, 119 refundable. Hilton IAD is out, Embassy suites is in. Thanks guys. ^

mahasamatman

Wow, two weeks ago we paid $94 AAA. Keep checking, it's likely to drop as it gets closer. Though maybe that's just their holiday rate.

lucky9876coins

I stayed at the ES and it was very nice, although the Hilton Executive Lounge may make up for the bennies. Also, the ES offers free internet for all HH members.

alliance

lucky9876coins and I discussed and we will both be staying at the ES IAD.

N334AA

That would be me.
