Visitor Hotels/Transport Information
HotelsSchool Venue: TBA The most convenient HOTEL will be HOMEWOOD SUITES by Hilton, LAUREL, MARYLAND-prices look reasonable and if you share, even better! #2 HOTEL: SHERATON COLUMBIA TOWN CENTER -next closest 10207 Wincopin Cir Columbia, MD 21044 #3 HOTEL Hampton Inn and Suite South Columbia -next closest 7045 Minstrel Way, Columbia, Maryland, 21046, USA http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/maryland/hampton-inn-and-suites-columbia-south-BALCOHX/index.html #4 HOTEL and right next to #3 Springhill Suites, 7055 Minstrel Way, Columbia, MD 21046 There are many other hotels in the town of Columbia, Maryland that you may prefer. The town of Laurel, however, covers quite a large area and some parts are FAR so I suggest staying in Columbia, Maryland if so. If you have your own car, you can stay where you please! |
Bus/TrainBUS OPTIONS
1. NOT THE BEST OPTION: Greyhound and Megabus go into Baltimore and Whitemarsh and then you'd need to get a rental car or take a taxi to venue which is a 30 minute ride in good traffic. 2. THE BEST BUS OPTION FROM NORTH THIS IS THE BUS TO TAKE FROM NYC = BOLT Bus goes into Greenbelt NOT BALTIMORE. TRAIN 3. Train- take the Amtrak from NYC (3 hours) and get off at BWI NOT Baltimore. It's 35 minutes from venue. |
PlaneThe nearest and easiest AIRPORT is Baltimore (BWI) if you want to be picked up by someone.
Dulles and Reagan are 1 hour away in good traffic, a rare occurence. You will need to find your own transport from these airports. We may be able to arrange for pick up at BWI airport only if you send us details. TRANSPORT TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT: You will need to rent a car if you come in to DULLES or REAGAN AIRPORTS as public transportation does not exist outside of big cities. Shuttle buses to the hotel are possible and then you can taxi to venue or we can arrange a minivan pickup from your hotel. I like SUPER SHUTTLE from DULLES or REAGAN airports. And there's always UBER |
