I think the Marriott is next to the Twinbrook metro which is nine stops on the redline from Woodley Park-Zoo station that is right next to the conference hotel. It takes approx 30 minutes and the last metro runs around midnight. There is a metro map at: http://www.cfconf.org/cf_underground/mhmetro.cfm If you haven't taken the Wash DC metro before it is clean and safe. If you don't mind a metro trip then any location on the Redline in Maryland and DC or the orange line in Arlington VA will be cheaper than the main hotel! There is a searchable website of DC hotels at a discount at Capitol Reservations. (Disclaimer: TeraTech has done some programming for them recently, but they appear to be a good service and they don't charge your credit card - the hotel does) If you are on a really low budget then check out the shared rooms at the Washington International Youth Hostel Phone: 202-737-2333 Fax: 202-737-1508 1009 - 11th Street, NW Washington, DC 20001 Price: $22-25 Reservations essential: accepted by Mail/Phone/Fax/IBN with credit card Located in downtown DC where you can take the red line at Metro Center to The Woodley Park-Zoo. Also consider coming in on the Saturday, both to save on airfares due to Saturday stay and to attend CF_Underground on Sunday. http://www.cfconf.org/cf_underground/
