Anyway, pricing for the Marriott Dulles for Thursday only is $189/night. HOWEVER, if I price Thursday-Saturday, price drops to $71/night. This price drop is true for all of the Marriott Dulles Properties.

I will probably get the room for both nights and just leave Friday w/o checking out.
Same situation for me; except at LAX. Not quite the same price differential however I'm doing the two night thing for the 2X night credit anyway and with what I'm going to pay its only a couple bucks more than if I paid for one night.

Ditto on the same night you are traveling in SAN. Two fers are significantly cheaper than the one night.

for the record BWI properties pull the same stunts as IAD properties do
