Yes you are right there.. Depending on where you are coming from you could
get a lot of traffic and if the conference as Dan pointed out starts at 7:30
AM you could well miss an hour of it everyday if traffic holds you back..
Which hotel is it at this year?

20 minutes ? During rush hour that would equate to about a 45-60 minute
drive.

You may also want to check out options a little outside the DC area in
Virginia, which may be about 20 minutes driving distance from the hotel.
Some of those hotels may even have a shuttle service into DC if you do not
feel comfortable renting a car and driving one here considering that you
would be used to right hand drives in London. Taxi’s in most places in
Virginia run by meter instead of higher flat rates so that may be a
relatively cheap option too – not cheaper than a car rental but relatively
cheap..

Peter,
While DC is in no way as expensive as say London, it still isn't cheap. You
might want to take a look at Hotels.com or priceline. You may be able to
find something a bit less pricey.
Maybe I should rent out space in my basement! I could make a fortune....
The only problem is getting everyone to and from my house in Maryland...
especially after a happy hours!
Good luck!

For anyone knowing the area of the conference centre that the RUG is being
held in, is there a cheaper hotel option?
The conference is £1250, flight from the UK ~ $950 but the hotel is $1311!
As I’m paying myself I’d be happy with a Days Inn or other cheap and
cheerful chain. However, I don’t intend getting a car so walking distance
would be good.
I’ve done some searching and the conference centre is a bit out of the way
so maybe that’s why the hotel can charge this much.
Cheers
