The Crescent's schedules have become a shambles, So I figure I'd better get a hotel near WAS or NYP. to overnight before going on to BOS and beyond. The last time I went to BOS, 20 pulled into WAS at 1150 (Sched=0953) and I was booked the 1200 Acela. (I figured a 2-hour window was plenty of cushion...WRONG!) Fortunately my swift thinking SCA called ahead for a Redcap with a cart to meet me at 2010's vestibule. Man, we screamed out to the end of the platform, around the diesel's nose and up to the Acela's Quiet Car vestibule just 5 minutes before she rolled. The was the best $10 tip any Redcap ever earned. At any rate, fool me twice, shame on me.
What reasonably priced overnight accommodations would you guys/gals recommend nearby to either WAS or NYP where this old codger could have a relaxing adult beverage, pleasant evening meal, and comfortable room. The goal being to catch an early-ish morning Acela to BOS/BBY, and thence the "T" to the North Shore. Or to revert to my native tongue, Nawth Showah.
Thanks for any suggestions.
