I wanted the Hampton Inn at 22700 Holiday Park, but am saving a bunch of money, even with a 5 day car rental. Hamptons are usually quite nice.

I shopped this one for a few hours and used the links within betterbidding a couple of times, but I am sure I did NOT use the link to HOTWIRE as I was actually making the buy. I will try harder next time. After a while, HOTWIRE, PRICELINE, betterbidding, Orbitz, carrentals.com, etc starts to run together. :)

Spent the 5 nights at the Hampton Inn - DullesCascades. It was very nice, especially having so much shopping nearby. Breakfast was quite good with eggs to accompany the usual Continental breakfast fare every day.

It's tricky to find the place, especially since Google Maps hasn't quite got McClellan Way down yet. The best way to find this hotel is on its website http://www.hamptoninndullescascades.com The hotel staff is very hit and miss with directions to it. The easiest way to get there is: from Route 7, go North on Cascades Parkway about 150 yards, turn right on Cranston, follow that until you reach a Staples store and turn right in front of the store. Drive past the Sports Authority at the other end of that strip mall and then exit the parking lot. There are two streets labeled McClellan Way, but the Hampton is only on one of them. As you exit the parking lot, there is a McClellan Way directly ahead of you that you should follow South to its end about 200 yards on. The Hampton will be on your left. Note that it is 6 stories tall and is the closest hotel or store to Route 7, so it can be seen from a good distance around. If you haven't driven in the Loudon and Fairfax Counties of Virginia before, just get used to this kind of crazy navigation. I ended up on a street called Sugarland Drive about a quarter mile East of this hotel. I ended up late to church because I discovered that Sugarland Drive actually runs in a complete circle! I thought it was an East-West street.
