Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Washington DC on July 4??

Yeah, Metro will be your friend, even though it's likely to be crowded. As for where to stay, what are you looking for? Your main choices are:

Virginia: Vienna, Falls Church
Maryland: Rockville, Bethesda

Of these options, I'd probably pick Bethesda. It has a nice walkable downtown area of its own and is the closest to DC of the bunch. I've stayed in the Hyatt there, which is right on top of a metro stop. Looks like rates for the July 4th weekend are in the low $100s per night.
