We are taking the autotrain from Lorton Virginia to Sanford Florida to cruise out of PC.

 

Can some one recommend a hotel near Lorton? One with outside security.

Seconded -- we take the Auto-train to FL every March, and coming from CT it is far more relaxing to spend the night there than either getting a very early start and worrying about that dismal I-95 traffic. It is just on the other side of I-95 from the Lorton station and there is a shopping mall across the way and several restaurants in the area for a decent pre-boarding lunch. Now that there is no longer free wine on board, we buy a few small bottles and snacks for our compartment since the lounge car is so crowded. The cost cutting: no wine, fewer lounge cars, etc. has made the trip less enjoyable.

I have been told not to leave a fully loaded car parked overnight in the parking lot. That this is not a safe area. I am upset because i would prefer to drive down the night before. Who knows what will happen on Monday morning.

 

Have you left a loaded car in their parking lot? It's all going to be visable.

When you stayed at the Comfort Inn was your car fully loaded with stuff? I have be labored this question on my posts. Is it safe to the car in their parking lot full of luggage other misc clothes ?
