If you were a provider, where else would you stay? Not Maryland MoCo. NOW gets quite a bit, but that's all on the Maryland board, not D.C.board. In D.C., DuPont has a lot of hotels and metro access. Fair number, if not most, non-tysons ads are for dupont. So, in VA... Tysons is attractive because it's got a huge work population and is somewhat convenient for just about all of NoVA... Or at the very least, is central... Dulles, Herndon, Springfield, Alexandria... All circling tysons.
That's my $0.02Is this actually a convenient area for DC people to meet up?
There is lots of traffic and I don't just mean the cars driving around. Easy to blend in and not be noticed. Of course that is the thinking. I'm sure there are other reasons, but those come to mind.
I've been in lurker mode for the longest time and not posting but figured why not this time. Miss me ?

Lots of hotel choices. Other places in NoVa with a big concentration of hotels, like Crystal City or Dulles, are probably harder to get to for more guys. Springfield has lots of hotels, but more 2-3 star types of properties.
A multiplicity of hotels.
Reasonable rates for DC region
Most hotels have free self parking
Plenty of restaurants and shopping
Reasonable cab ride from National or Dulles airports
Acessible via several roadways
Has a metro stop
The downside is the traffic sucks and it's not pedestrian friendly
While I work out of offices in Dwntwn DC and Tysons. On occassions an appointment in Dupont or other Dwntwn DC location is convenient per my schedule that day. Tysons is by far more convenient for me for the following reasons:
- More available cheap and/or free parking.
- While there is traffic it is less dense than Dwntwn, DC. Hell, going from Capital Hill to Dupont mid-day is a nightmare. And no, I hate using metro to get to appointments.
- More Pre and Post appointment ammenities (restaurants, gym, coffee shops, etc) easier to extend session and/or convert to dinner date.
- Finally, closer to my NOVA residence.
Plenty of hotel options available that offer easy parking. And Tyson's is fairly convenient to get to. Traffic can be bad but if you plan ahead it's not that big of a problem.
Yes, lots of free parking! Priceline use to be a lot more reasonable with rates a few years ago and then they went high. Are they reasonable again? Traffic is baddddd lol but my strategy for that area is get in that area by 2 and travel anywhere on the beltway or to DC until after 7! lol when I go against that I regret it lol.
Tyson has very reasonable rates and it's hobby friendly. I haven't been there yet but I do get a lot of requested appointments there so I will be going in the near future. It's also very popular including Alexandria,VA and Arlington,VA ( Both cities, I have been to and it was very easy for gentlemen to travel to there)
...areas to play in followed by Arlington (typically Crystal City or Rosslyn), Fairfax to Dulles and BWI/Baltimore.
If you're trying to figure out if it's a good spot to stay in I say it's one of many.
I have been coming to Tysons Corner for past 4 yrs
I travel to NOVA/DC quite often. I found that I do very well in Alexandria, Baltimore, and the Reston area. I posted something like yours a few weeks ago. I have heard completely the opposite of what is being posted in this thread. Many gentlemen has said to me that they don't like the Tyson's corner area because it is difficult to get to and there is to much traffic. Perhaps the next time I return, I will give the Tyson's corner another shot.

...now that the majority of the construction is done it's pretty easy to get around.
Also, us NVA guys are real sweeties!
It's only central if your conception of the metro area is Fairfax+Arlington. Otherwise, it is on the western edge of hobby locations (apart from Dulles). And the idea that it is easy to get around is relative. It still has some of the worst traffic in the metro area, although it is not as bad as when they changed freeway lane patterns every few weeks due to construction.
I am curious if the Silver Line has helped, but it seems to me that the layout of Tyson's would still make it difficult to use it to get to most hotels. It is true that if you are driving, the ample parking is a plus (basically all of the hotels are really high-rise motels). As someone who lives is southwest Montgomery (even though I am pretty close to the American Legion bridge) and works downtown, I consider an incall location in the Tyson's are to be a net minus.
