RE: [tag] F2F details and hotels

For the Hilton – which is 1.5 miles from NIST entrance – (add about another 0.25 miles to walk to the NIST building)

The Internet rate is $197. If you call and ask for the NIST rate – it is $145.

Directions from the airport (with approximate cost of transportation alternatives) is
