Thanks for the description of the area. What about bars and restaurants, is there something (like IHOP) open 24 hrs in the area?


I’m not sure what’s available in the hotel lobby, but there are a few 24-hour places open within a 5-15 minute drive (Amphora Diner, IHOP, etc.)

There are bars around, but none very walkable to the Sheraton - again, I’m not sure what’s in the lobby - but I suggest an old favorite, the Bathtub full o’ Beer (in the original container, not trough-style - you’ll avoid little hairs in your drink this way).

Mr.Smith’s is probably the closest bar that’s guaranteed to be open til 2am, a scant 0.9 mile stroll down Route 7. They offer darts and individually-wrapped toothpicks.

Hey Jude,

I’ve been refraining from replies on this particular aspect because I am not a local, not to mention getting things put in place. I dine out at Tyson’s Corner when I am in town.

We’ll have some info in your registration when you come in. The hotel shuttle goes to retaurants and bars until 10 pm. The hotel bar closes at 11, but the prices are business-class - a little high.
