If you don't need to worry about walking to the event from the hotel, you might find some bargains closer to BWI airport including some suite type hotels. The drive into the city from that direction can be a little congested during rush hour, but it is only about 10 miles.

More hotels added to the list: http://www.mdfirst.org/programs/firs...al/hotels.html

I am told the event is full with 64 great teams, including 5 rookie teams from Maryland.
