Depending on where you are coming from you could get a lot of traffic and if the conference as Dan pointed out starts at 7:30 AM you could well miss an hour of it everyday if traffic holds you back.. Which hotel is it at this year?

During rush hour that would equate to about a 45-60 minute drive.

Some of those hotels may even have a shuttle service into DC if you do not feel comfortable renting a car and driving one here considering that you would be used to right hand drives in London. Taxi’s in most places in Virginia run by meter instead of higher flat rates so that may be a relatively cheap option too – not cheaper than a car rental but relatively cheap.. Joe From: Warren R.

You might want to take a look at Hotels.com or priceline. You may be able to find something a bit less pricey. Maybe I should rent out space in my basement! I could make a fortune.... The only problem is getting everyone to and from my house in Maryland... especially after a happy hours! Good luck!

The conference is £1250, flight from the UK ~ $950 but the hotel is $1311! As I’m paying myself I’d be happy with a Days Inn or other cheap and cheerful chain. However, I don’t intend getting a car so walking distance would be good. I’ve done some searching and the conference centre is a bit out of the way so maybe that’s why the hotel can charge this much.
