A hotel in New Carrollton, MD, which was the site of many Disclaves starting in with Disclave 28 in 1984. The hotel was not at all upscale, though it was in a good location with free parking, a safe neighborhood, and reasonable food within walking distance. The hotel also had a semi-attached parking garage and had turned the lower level (never needed for parking) into rough exhibit space, which housed Hucksters, the art show and the Discave, one of the best con suites ever at a sizeable convention.
One special feature was that it changed its name almost annually (it didn't help):
- Disclave 28: New Carrollton Sheraton
- Disclave 29: The Sheraton Inn
- Disclave 30: The Sheraton Washington Northeast
- Disclave 32: Howard Johnson New Carrolton
- Disclave 33: Sheraton Greenbelt
- Disclave 41: Ramada -- this was the last Disclave at the hotel and the last Disclave at all due to the Disclave Flood.
