Even if you can score a ticket, you may not be able to find a hotel room for the Jan. 20 inauguration in Washington, D.C.

Most hotels in the area are already filled up.

A quick search on hotels.com Monday morning found only one place with a room available. The rate: $3,000 a night.

The next closest hotel was at least 25 miles away, and even those rooms could cost you as much as $500.

Air fares aren't any better.  A search through Travelocity.com shows flights to D.C. and back were pricing at close to $600 on Monday.
