Why? We're talking about the advance team, not the Obama's. I got the impression that the Obama's would have gone back to WAS that night. There was no mention of a hotel stay in the article. Of course, I doubt a hotel would give a free stay to a bunch of Secret Service guys.
But again, I'm one of those who sees this as a couple of hundred grand at most being spent in the American economy so the president can have at least a semblance of a real life for a night.
