If you are looking at hotels in the Herndon/Reston area that are not walking distance to the Town Center then bus service might be a cheap alternative to rentals and cabs. The primary bus system in the Reston area is the Fairfax Connector (particularly the RIBS buses I think). Here is a link to the schedules and maps: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connector/schedulesmaps.htm Also check the Metro Ride Guide, as I believe it will also show Fairfax Connector routes to your destination if available, and it's simple - enter start address and destination address and it will figure out the rest: http://rideguide.wmata.com/ -- Jeff Wheeler Postmaster, Network Admin US Institute of Peace On Aug 24, 2004, at 10:18 PM, Marc Sachs wrote:
Two other hotels that are worth checking:
Comfort Inn (~$100 per night, Internet rate) http://www6.choicehotels.com/ires/en-us/html/HotelInfo? sid=nUACM.28A3XlJ Pg.6&hotel=VA405
Holiday Inn Express (~130 per night, Internet rate) http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hd/wasex?irs=null
Neither is really "walking distance" from Reston Town Center but if you get double occupancy with a friend and split a cab or rental car it's much cheaper than the Hyatt.
