Apparently enough pilots feel differently which is why we have exception cities like IAD and EWR. I haven't talked to one pilot who would rather drive and hour in rush hour to DC than stay in Reston for 14 hours. Plenty of things to do and great places to eat there. Great job to our hotel committee for letting common sense prevail instead of shooting ourselves in the foot for the sake of it.
