Hotel Rooms for MCM

[burgrunner]

For those running the Marine Corps Marathon. I spent about an hour this evening on the phone trying to book a hotel room. I found two good options.

1) Comfort Inn Ballston- $142.22 w/tax for the night of the 27th. This hotel is only a few blocks from the metro station and has free parking. (quad occupancy)

2) Sheraton National- around $290 per night but they are supposed to get back to me about a lower rate of $131.20 w/tax. This is only 1.3 miles from the start. (double occupancy)

Since this was such a hassle, I booked 3 rooms at the Comfort Inn and 2 at the Sheraton. If anyone going wants these rooms, let me know, otherwise I'll just cancel the ones I don't need.

Jeremy, thanks for going to all of that work. I had looked at the Quality Inn Iwo Jima - obviously it is very close to the finish, but I think that they are all booked up now. If you can hang on to those rooms that would be great. I have to talk to Jackie first!

We stayed in the Hyatt--Arlington last year and its .5 miles from the finish.
