Subject: [Pycon-interest] Recommended hotel(s)?
Message-ID: <40316342.2050904@gradient.cis.upenn.edu>

Is there a recommended hotel or group of hotels?  (Namely, one where 
I'll be more likely to bump into other pycon participants, and/or one 
where I can get a group rate.)  Or should I just try to find something 
close to the Cafritz Conference Center?  (There's a list on the 
conference center's webpage [1]).

Thanks.
-Edward

I'm staying at the Great Western Keybridge; I assume that like last year
others will be, too.  (It's overall probably the best combination of
closeness to GWU through Metro with decent room rates.)

I highly recommend the Rouge hotel.  http://rougehotel.com/

It really is that wacky looking inside, and you get internet access in 
the rooms.

(so 2 metro stops away).

Quality Inn Iwo Jima
Saturday the 20th it is 119.95 USD but the rest of the nights it is only
85.95 for 1 or 2 people -- and 95.95 for 3 or 4.

I found it by going to:
http://www.places-on-sale.com/hotels_in/washington_dc/hotels.html
then adjusting the searches for my days of stay, and then
searching the result set by location -- the have GWU as a landmark.

Hope this helps somebody,
Laura
