Hotel near D.C. with rooms for inauguration
It's getting tougher and tougher to find rooms anywhere near the Beltway for the inauguration. I've read reports reports of folks taking spots as far away as West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
But The Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in the new National Harbor project in Prince George's County, Maryland, across the Potomac from Alexandria says on its website that it still has rooms.
Here are the options:
*Check in Sunday, January 18 Stay 4 nights
*Check in Monday, January 19 Stay 4 nights
*Check in Tuesday, January 20 Stay 2 nights
*Check in Wednesday, January 21 Stay 1 night
One caveat: I poked around a bit and it appears that rooms start at about $800 a night. But check it out. Thanks to USA Today's Hotel Hotsheet for pointing us to this one.
