Yeah, I passed on that one because I need 12 days parking for an upcoming trip, and they would not allow buying/combining two groupons.

I had a pretty good experience at the Holiday Inn in Sterling earlier this year; I paid $5/day, and the shuttle was pretty efficient.

I hope you have better luck.
Sorry about your experience. I never really needed the "stay" part and like some of the offsite private parking lots near BWI (much better service than the BWI economy lots and not even further to the terminal).
