are there any alternative hotels nearby people are staying at with a more normal rate?
Over the course of time I have stayed at everyone of the Dulles area hotels listed below, and don't mind recommending any of them. The Hyatt at Reston is are very nice hotel and worth it if you can stomach the cost. The fact that you would save on taxi/rental fares to and from the NANOG event might help justify staying at the Reston Hyatt. Also, at the Reston-Hyatt there are plenty of restaurants/bars/shops within walking distance.
