      No hotels that I know of within a short walk from the site...but the Metro is a block away. You might find some B & Bs.

          All good hotels - but none within reasonable walking distance to the site (the distances displayed on Trivago are straight-line distances, and you would have a steep hill to climb to get to most of them). There is only on-street parking near the site - some free; some pay.

                On the preregistered list you put my first name as Zachary John, it's just Zachary... This should help you find the rest of my information that you left blank.

                      I notice that there is a player with a rating of 1012 in the top section. Did they pay the three upgrade supplements ($25 each) as well as the entry fee?
