Choosing A Hotel near but not In Washington, DC may Substantially Reduce Your Hotel Bill&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;If you are planning a trip to&amp;nbsp; Washington, DC and are only looking for downtown hotels (i.e., within the District of Columbia), you may want to broaden your search to include suburban hotels. &amp;nbsp;In particular, you may want to include Northern Virginia and Maryland hotels in your search.  Further, you should consider Washington area hotels located near DC metro subway stations because the metro system gives you access to much of what Washington, DC has to offer, and you may be able to find a more reasonably priced hotel near, but not in, Washington.  That is, by using DC by Metro you may be able to get a Washington, DC area hotel without the DC hotel price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2011/02/virginia-metro-stations-with-hotels.html&quot;&gt;Click Here for Hotels in Northern Virginia Near Metro Stations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;In Northern Virginia you can find hotels located near metro subway stations in Arlington County; the city of Alexandria; and Vienna, VA, which is in Fairfax County.  Arlington County offers the widest selection of Washington, DC area hotels near metro stations.  The Arlington County Metro Stations with hotels nearby are Rosslyn, Courthouse, Ballston-MU, Pentagon City, and Crystal City.  Alexandria has three metro stops with hotels nearby--Braddock Road, King Street (the major Alexandria stop serving Old Town Alexandria), and Eisenhower Avenue.  Finally, the Dunn Loring Metro Station, which is in Vienna, VA, (Fairfax County) has a hotel that you can see from the Metro Station exit.&amp;nbsp; And, as an added bonus, all these Metro Subway Stations, with the exception of Eisenhower Avenue, have subway service that takes you directly to the Smithsonian Metro Station, making these metro stations tourist friendly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2012/07/maryland-metro-stations.html&quot;&gt;Click Here for Hotels in Maryland Near Metro Stations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;In Maryland, you will find Washington, DC area hotels located near dc metro subway stations in Friendship Heights, which straddles the DC-Maryland border, Bethesda, White Flint, Silver Spring, and Twinbrook. The Friendship Heights area has an urban feel somewhat like many parts of downtown Washington, giving you many of the benefits of downtown Washington, DC hotels.&amp;nbsp; The areas around the other Maryland metro stations with hotels nearby have a somewhat more suburban feel, but at any one of these stations you may be able to find the perfect Washington, DC area hotel at a suburban price. &amp;nbsp;The listed Maryland hotels located near the Friendship Heights, Bethesda, White Flint and Twinbrook Metro Stations are within a six minute walk of their respective Metro Station. &amp;nbsp;Hotels near the Silver Spring Metro Station, on the other hand, are a longer walk from the metro station. &amp;nbsp;That said, the shops and restaurants in Silver Spring may make the extra walk worthwhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2011/09/bargain-hotels-in-washington-dc.html&quot;&gt;Click Here for Bargain/Cheap Hotels Near Metro Stations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;While finding an acceptable bargain hotel in the DC area may be a challenge, there are several potential bargain hotels near dc metro stations that may fit the bill. &amp;nbsp;Also, if you are able to be flexible with your schedule or you are willing to give up some control over which hotel you select, you may be able to find a cheap hotel near a metro station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However in the end it doesn&#39;t matter if you are looking for a budget hotel or a luxury hotel in the Washington, DC area, hotels located near dc metro stations offer mobility that is hard to beat. &amp;nbsp;So, for your next visit &amp;nbsp;to Washington, DC consider hotels near Washington, DC. &amp;nbsp;Your wallet will thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for visiting DC by Metro.&amp;nbsp; We hope you find the perfect Washington, DC area hotel for your next visit to Washington, DC. &amp;nbsp;Remember you may find the perfect hotel if you consider hotels near Washington, DC that are also near a Metro Subway Station operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).</description><link>http://www.dcbymetro.com/2010/12/welcome-to-near-metro.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (DC by Metro)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6e6rtQPVWp0/TSTQlmQ_PDI/AAAAAAAAAlU/d7WGU2LUkfU/s72-c/Capitol.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6122726442055345292.post-986325367304671364</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Sep 2013 15:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-09-18T08:36:25.453-04:00</atom:updated><title>Omni Shoreham Hotel</title><description>&lt;h1 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Omni Shoreham Hotel is Near Dupont Circle and the National Zoo&lt;/h1&gt;The Omni Shoreham is a huge hotel and regularly hosts conferences. &amp;nbsp;It is located within a short walk from the Woodley Park Metro Station. &amp;nbsp;Woodley Park is one of the metrorail stops for the zoo and is just one stop beyond Dupont Circle as you head out of town on the Red Line. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2500 Calvert Street NW (at Connecticut Ave.)&lt;br /&gt;Washington, District of Columbia 20008&lt;br /&gt;(202) 234-0700&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g28970-d84087-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Omni_Shoreham_Hotel-Washington_DC_District_of_Columbia.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click here for TripAdvisor&#39;s information on the Omni Shoreham Hotel.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gEVrj1HAMWg/TpuQGA_cGRI/AAAAAAAAAvo/67Iux4CXzUk/s1600/tripadvisor-logo.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Information on the Woodley Park Metro Station and Directions to the Omni Shoreham Hotel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;The full name of Woodley park Metro Station is Woodley Park Zoo/Adams Morgan. &amp;nbsp;The National Zoo is within walking distance of the metro station and Adams Morgan is noted for its nightlife. &lt;br /&gt;Woodley Park is on the Red Line, and it takes about 14 minute ride to the Smithsonian Metro Station.

You could easily wear yourself out just walking inside the hotel.&amp;nbsp;To reach the hotel&#39;s check in area from the metro, it is probably best to take the mezzanine elevator, which you can find after you leave the turnstiles.&amp;nbsp; You will exit the elevator at the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Woodley Road.&amp;nbsp; Woodley Road will be behind you as you leave the elevator.&amp;nbsp; Turn left onto Woodley and follow the signs.&amp;nbsp; If you take the very long escalator, you will exit alongside Connecticut Avenue.&amp;nbsp; Woodley Road will be behind you.&amp;nbsp; As you walk from the escalator, you can begin to get a sense of how big the hotel is.&amp;nbsp; It occupies all the area alongside the sidewalk from the escalator to Woodley Road and you are only seeing a portion of the hotel.&amp;nbsp; It is considerably bigger than the part you can see from the escalator.&amp;nbsp; So, while the hotel is near the metro station, it could still be a long walk to your room if it is located at the back of the hotel away from the metro station. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #0b5394;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Selected Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel Amenities &lt;br /&gt;(as of September 2013)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business center&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;High   speed Internet access (wired/wireless) (fee applies for in room access)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;Fitness center&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;Outdoor  pool (seasonal)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;Parking $36.00/day (valet parking $41/day)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Check with hotel staff to make sure amenities important to you have not   changed and that nothing prevents walking from the Metro station.&amp;nbsp;

The Marriott is just a bridge away from being a true Washington hotel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having your hotel near the Rosslyn metro station, which is the closest&amp;nbsp; metro station to the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial featuring the flag raising at Iwo Jima, allows you to reflect on this very important piece of American history.&amp;nbsp; Although Arlington National Cemetery is the next stop on the blue line, the cemetery starts at the war memorial, and it is an inspiring walk from the war memorial to the cemetery&#39;s visitor&#39;s center. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At .4 and .6 miles respectively, the Best Western Rosslyn Iwo Jima Arlington Virginia Hotel and the Virginian Suites Arlington are the two Rosslyn hotels beyond our DC by Metro&#39;s normal walking distance. &amp;nbsp;However, in case you are a Best Western fan or you want to investigate the Virginian Suites Arlington, we have included links to their TripAdvisor pages.&amp;nbsp;Either one of these may fill your DC hotel needs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #0b5394;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Washington, DC Area Hotels Near the Metro Station but Beyond the Walking Distance DC by Metro Considers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;These DC Area Hotels are Still Walkable--If You Really Like Walking&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #0b5394;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;(TripAdvisor and Google Map Links Provided)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Best Western Rosslyn Iwo Jima Arlington Virginia Hotel &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(about .4 miles from the Rosslyn Metro Station) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g30242-d110700-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Best_Western_Rosslyn_Iwo_Jima-Arlington_Virginia.html&quot;&gt;TripAdvisor &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Virginian Suites Arlington&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Ballston-MU Metro Station is on the Orange Line. &amp;nbsp;It takes about an 18 minute ride to reach the Smithsonian Metro Station, and you do not have to change metro rail trains. &amp;nbsp;The  Ballston area in has a vibrant shopping district with a mall (The Ballston  Common Shopping Center), numerous independent shops, and a wide  selection of restaurants within walking distance of the metro station and area hotels.&amp;nbsp; And there is a Metro Commuter Store at the entrance to the metro station where you can find general information  on Metro transportation and purchase Metro Smart Trip cards.&amp;nbsp; It is located next to the station&#39;s escalator at street level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, there are four Washington, DC area hotels within walking distance, although at .5 miles some might classify the walk to one of the hotels, the Comfort Inn Ballston, as a hike.&amp;nbsp; DC by Metro doesn&#39;t normally include hotels that far from the Metro Station, but we have provided a link to TripAdvisor for your use if you are a Comfort Inn fan.&amp;nbsp; The other three Washington, DC area&amp;nbsp; hotels--Hilton Arlington, Holiday Inn Arlington at Ballston, and Westin Arlington Gateway--are comparatively nearer to the metro stop.&amp;nbsp; In fact, the Hilton Arlington is the closest Virginia hotel to a metro station.&amp;nbsp; Because Ballston has ample shopping, a wide selection of restaurants, and several hotels near to the metro station, we have designated it as a five-star stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From  the Metro station exit area there is a sky walk leading to the Ballston Common  Shopping Center.&amp;nbsp; As you exit the escalator, straight ahead you will see  the entrance to the Ballston Metro Center.&amp;nbsp; Once in the Center bear to  the right and walk past the entrance to the Hilton Arlington. &amp;nbsp;You will see a narrow escalator leading up to a sky walk which crosses two streets and passes the National Science Foundation on the way to the Ballston Common Shopping Center, a mall complete with food court, a movie theater, and a comedy club.&amp;nbsp; There are also numerous other restaurants and shops in the Ballston neighborhood, and across the street from the mall is a Harris Teeter super market.&amp;nbsp; With all these amenities you might want to consider Ballston the next time you need a Washington, DC hotel near a metro station.  If you do, you will find that Arlington, Virginia has a lot to offer visitors to the Washington, DC area. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, the MU stands for Marymount University.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for visiting DC by Metro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;350&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;msa=0&amp;amp;msid=209120248581066549644.0004858ebc2d178d22feb&amp;amp;ll=38.883817,-77.116127&amp;amp;spn=0.009855,0.027595&amp;amp;output=embed&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;View &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;msa=0&amp;amp;msid=209120248581066549644.0004858ebc2d178d22feb&amp;amp;ll=38.883817,-77.116127&amp;amp;spn=0.009855,0.027595&amp;amp;source=embed&quot; style=&quot;color: blue; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Ballston-MU&lt;/a&gt; in a larger map&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;msa=0&amp;amp;msid=209120248581066549644.0004858ebc2d178d22feb&amp;amp;ll=38.883116,-77.114453&amp;amp;spn=0.008719,0.027595&amp;amp;z=15&quot;&gt;Google Map.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you should make your next Washington, DC hotel a Washington, DC area hotel.</description><link>http://www.dcbymetro.com/2011/02/ballston-mu-metro-station-arlington-va.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (DC by Metro)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vdV1Wm2vGRg/TZPacTxiBjI/AAAAAAAAAnk/15U-7mN5yKc/s72-c/orange-icon.bmp" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6122726442055345292.post-5712243579358381354</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Aug 2013 00:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-08-22T22:43:27.935-04:00</atom:updated><title>Court House Metro Station Hotels--Arlington, VA</title><description>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #0b5394; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Hotels Near the Courthouse Metro Station&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;(Arlington County, VA)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-01Wu73uXgYM/TZPqSJhcTMI/AAAAAAAAAoM/gANeYvLeH_E/s1600/orange-icon.bmp&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Courthouse has two hotels within a short walk of the metro with a third still walkable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-01Wu73uXgYM/TZPqSJhcTMI/AAAAAAAAAoM/gANeYvLeH_E/s1600/orange-icon.bmp&quot; title=&quot;Court House Metro Station is served by the Orange Line&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Court House Metro Station&lt;br /&gt;2100 Wilson Blvd&lt;br /&gt;Arlington, VA 22201&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two hotels within a short walk of the Court House Metro Station with a third still walkable.

As a result, DCbyMetro staff do not regularly walk from the Metro Station to these hotels. TripAdvisor reviews should provide valuable information to help you evaluate these hotels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Holiday Inn Hotel National Airport/Crystal City, the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, and the Courtyard Arlington Crystal City/Reagan National Airport are also in the neighborhood, but they are well beyond distance from the metro station covered by DC by Metro, taking considerably more than 10 minutes walking time.&amp;nbsp; You may want to check with these hotels to see if they have regular shuttle service to the Metro Station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;

Sure it isn&#39;t in Washington proper, but you&#39;ll hardly notice that in this bustling neighborhood just across the Potomac from DC.&amp;nbsp; To reach the street level from the Metro Station entrance/turnstile area you need to take two escalators.&amp;nbsp; The first takes you to Crystal City Shops, a mall with over 100 stores, shops and eateries, many of which are underground.&amp;nbsp; The second takes you from the shops area to street level. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6e6rtQPVWp0/TTRKhvjkxAI/AAAAAAAAAmI/J6z3BhtzY-I/s1600/crystal-city-exit-graphic.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will find Crystal City Shops an interesting, maze-like collection of&amp;nbsp; shops having much of what a visitor to the area will need.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Restaurant choices range from Bailey&#39;s Pub &amp;amp; Grill to McCormick &amp;amp; Schmick&#39;s to Morton&#39;s Stakehouse to McDonald&#39;s and many places in between, and that doesn&#39;t include all the neighborhood restaurants not in the mall.&amp;nbsp; By walking through the sprawling Crystal City Shops you can reach two Marriott hotels without venturing outside, and there are several other hotels from which to choose but they require a short outside walk.&amp;nbsp;

You probably won&#39;t find these hotels to be inexpensive, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.&amp;nbsp; Of course, you may also find them a bargain compared to DC hotels, making Crystal City a great place to find a Washington, DC area hotel near a metro station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being served by two Metro Lines, the Yellow and Blue, also gives you more choices.&amp;nbsp; If you are heading to the Smithsonian, the Blue Line in the direction of Largo Town Center is probably your best choice.&amp;nbsp; The trains stops at the Smithsonian Station, which is located on the National Mall.&amp;nbsp; When you arrive at the Smithsonian Station be sure to use the &quot;Mall Exit.&quot;&amp;nbsp; The signs on the wall in front of you as you leave the train will indicate the direction.&amp;nbsp; Of course, you are probably safe if you just follow the crowd.&amp;nbsp; You can also reach the Mall area using the Yellow Line in the direction of Fort Totten, but you will either have to change trains or walk from the L&#39;Enfant Plaza Station.&amp;nbsp; If you choose to walk from L&#39;Enfant Plaza, make sure you exit using the 7th Street/Maryland Avenue/Smithsonian Museums Exit.&amp;nbsp; L&#39;Enfant Plaza has three exits and they can be very confusing.&amp;nbsp; If you are a newbie to the Metro System, taking the Blue Line is much preferred.&amp;nbsp; However, if you are going to the Washington Convention Center, the Yellow Line in the direction of Fort Totten is for you.&amp;nbsp; It stops at the Mt. Vernon Square/7th Street/Convention Center Station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, reaching Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is more straightforward.&amp;nbsp; Both the Yellow and Blue Line trains will get you there.&amp;nbsp; Take the Blue Line in the direction of Franconia-Springfield or the Yellow toward Hunington.&amp;nbsp; They both depart from the same platform, so you can take the first train in that direction that arrives.&amp;nbsp; The airport is just one stop away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for visiting DC by Metro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;3&quot; bordercolor=&quot;#005596&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style=&quot;width: 180px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2010/11/virginia-hotels-you-can-see-from-metro.html&quot;&gt;You might also be interested in Virginia hotels you can see from a metro station.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Third party web sites you may find helpful.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://crystalcity.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Crystal City &lt;/a&gt; (by the Crystal City Business Improvement District) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://crystalcity.com/Dine_Shop_Stay&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Beauty of Crystal City&lt;/a&gt;  (Includes a directory of Crystal City Shops)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arlingtonvirginia.com/shopping/crystal_city_shops&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ArlingtonVA.com&lt;/a&gt; (More information on Crystal City Shops)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.commuterpage.com/ART/villages/CrystalCity.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ComputerPage.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;350&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;dirflg=w&amp;amp;msa=0&amp;amp;msid=209120248581066549644.00046dd39c5518c5df292&amp;amp;ll=38.858892,-77.050853&amp;amp;spn=0.009725,0.027595&amp;amp;output=embed&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;View &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;dirflg=w&amp;amp;msa=0&amp;amp;msid=209120248581066549644.00046dd39c5518c5df292&amp;amp;ll=38.858892,-77.050853&amp;amp;spn=0.009725,0.027595&amp;amp;source=embed&quot; style=&quot;color: blue; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Crystal City Metro Station&lt;/a&gt; in a larger map&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description><link>http://www.dcbymetro.com/2011/01/crystal-city-five-star-stop.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (DC by Metro)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IuIodDG14qg/TZPr9kpaT7I/AAAAAAAAAoo/Nvtgz7Oyt7I/s72-c/blue-icon.bmp" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6122726442055345292.post-4246077877274821878</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Aug 2013 00:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-09-04T22:54:00.548-04:00</atom:updated><title>Hotels Near the Pentagon City Metro Station--Arlington, VA</title><description>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #0b5394; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Hotels Near the Pentagon City Metro Station--A Visitor Friendly Metro Stop&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Arlington County, VA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are four hotels near the Pentagon City Metro Station. &amp;nbsp; The Ritz Carlton is next to the Pentagon City Station and the Residence Inn is about a six minute walk. &amp;nbsp;A Doubletree and Embassy Suites are ten minutes plus walks from the metro subway station. &amp;nbsp;Because of its major shopping mall (The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City), service by two Metro lines (blue and yellow), and proximity to downtown Washington, DC, Pentagon City is one of the most popular Metro stops in Northern Virginia for visitors. It is also only one stop away from the Pentagon and two stops from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

Or, if you want to find a place to eat without having to brave the elements, Pentagon City should be high on your list of possible eating places.&amp;nbsp; Of course, you shouldn&#39;t overlook &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2011/01/crystal-city-five-star-stop.html&quot;&gt;Crystal City&lt;/a&gt; if hotels and restaurants near to a metro station are important to you.&amp;nbsp; It is just one stop from Pentagon City and has more DC area hotels to choose from.&amp;nbsp; So, for your next DC hotel, you may want to consider the Washington, DC area hotels at Pentagon City and Crystal City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We report on two hotels--The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City and the Residence Inn Arlington, Pentagon City.&amp;nbsp; However, two other hotels--&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Embassy Suites Crystal City-National Airport and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;DoubleTree    Hotel Washington DC-Crystal City--&lt;/span&gt;are near the metro station but are beyond the distance reported on DC by Metro.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; For more information on these hotels, we have included links to TripAdvisor. &amp;nbsp;The DoubleTree and Residence Inn may be of particular interest to Pentagon visitors.&amp;nbsp; They are within walking distance.&amp;nbsp; [Because of Pentagon security considerations, we suggest you check with hotel staff for information on this aspect of these hotels.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you leave the entrance/exit area of the Metro station there is a tunnel with three exits--two to the left and one to the right.&amp;nbsp; To the left are the Fashion Centre and the Ritz-Carlton and to the right is the Residence Inn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the Fashion Centre offers a shopping mall environment, you can also bypass the mall and shop and eat where the locals go.&amp;nbsp; In fact, you walk through the food court area of the mall to get to the local shopping district.&amp;nbsp; If you turn left in the metro station tunnel, the Fashion Centre mall is directly in front of you at the end of the tunnel. You will exit the tunnel and a short escalator ride takes you to the mall&#39;s food court area.&amp;nbsp; If you continue straight, you will pass Johnny Rockets on your right and then a few steps further will be McDonald&#39;s again to your right.&amp;nbsp; Beyond and to the left of McDonald&#39;s, you will see a short ramp leading to a parking garage.&amp;nbsp; At the other side of the garage is a bank of soft drink machines.&amp;nbsp; Take the stairs next to the drink machines and when you reach street level the local shopping area is to your right.&amp;nbsp; There you will find a Harris Teeter supermarket and numerous other shops and restaurants.&amp;nbsp; If you don&#39;t see what you want, don&#39;t hesitate to ask someone.&amp;nbsp; We did and that&#39;s how we found the Harris Teeter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for visiting DC by Metro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot;

text-align: center;&quot;&gt;  Hotels Near the Dunn Loring Metro Station in Vienna, VA&lt;/h1&gt;The Dunn Loring Metro Station is the next to last stop on the Virginia side of the Orange line and is located in Fairfax County. There is only one Washington, DC area hotel near the Metro Station--the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2010/11/courtyard-dunn-loring-fairfax-dunn.html&quot;&gt;Dunn Loring Fairfax Courtyard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As shown in the photo below the hotel can be seen from the Metro exit and is about a 5 minute walk (approx. 1/4 mile). The Courtyard has a restaurant, and there is a lot of development underway around the metro station, including restaurants.  As of April 2013 two new restaurants were open with two more on the way.  If this doesn&#39;t meet your needs, the Ballston-MU Metro Station area is a short metro ride away (about 11 minutes) and offers ample shopping and restaurants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, there is one group of restaurants at Dunn Loring that are about a half-mile from the Courtyard hotel and another group about a mile away.  If you have a car, you are in luck not only because you have a reasonable selection of restaurants within a short drive but also because the parking at the Courtyard is free. (Be sure to check with hotel staff to confirm that this perk is still included.)  So, for your next Washington, DC area hotel, this may be a good choice, particularly if you are driving to the area from the west as this metro station is near I-66. (You will have to get off the Interstate a few miles before Gallows Road because there isn&#39;t an exit at Gallows Road, but that shouldn&#39;t pose too much of a problem.)

When you exit the  escalator 1st Street, NE is to your left.&amp;nbsp; You need to turn left and  walk along 1st Street.&amp;nbsp; Columbus Circle and Massachusetts Avenue will be  just a few steps away.&amp;nbsp; Cross Massachusetts Avenue at  the edge of Columbus Circle.&amp;nbsp; Just after you cross Massachusetts turn right onto E  Street.&amp;nbsp; You will cross North Capitol Street as you walk to New Jersey Avenue.&amp;nbsp; Turn right onto New Jersey Avenue.&amp;nbsp; The Washington Court Hotel will be a few steps down New Jersey on your right.&amp;nbsp; With Union Station,  Columbus Circle and streets at odd angles, this can be a confusing  walk, and to further complicate the walk as of June 2012 there was a lot of construction in the area.&amp;nbsp; As a result, we &lt;b&gt;strongly &lt;/b&gt;recommend you make your first  walk during daylight hours.&amp;nbsp; A taxi ride from Union Station may be a  good idea for your first trip to the hotel.&amp;nbsp; The hotel is about .3 miles from the Union Station Metro Station.&amp;nbsp; To get a sense of the area in front of Union Station visit the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.earthtv.com/en/camera-destination/washington-dc-usa&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Web cam&lt;/a&gt; for this area.&amp;nbsp; The Massachusetts Avenue metro exit is located on the left side of Union Station. [NOTE:&amp;nbsp; All the views available may be at night.&amp;nbsp; If so, visit the the Web cam at a different time of day.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Washington Court Hotel is also close to the Judiciary Square Metro Station, but Judiciary Square is not as visitor-friendly as many other  Metro  Stations.&amp;nbsp; It is intended for local residents having business at  nearby government offices.&amp;nbsp; Also note, the  4th Street entrance closes  at midnight on Monday to Thursday, at 3:00  a.m. on Friday, and is  closed on Saturday and Sunday (as of June 2012).&amp;nbsp; If you use Judiciary  Square, we &lt;b&gt;strongly &lt;/b&gt;suggest you walk the route first during daylight hours.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Selected Washington Court Hotel on Capitol Hill Amenities (as of June 2012)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;Wireless high speed Internet service (fee) (complimentary wireless in lobby)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business center&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fitness center&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Valet parking (fee)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check with Washington Court Hotel staff to make sure amenities important to you have not   changed and that nothing prevents walking from the Metro station.

You can use either the Blue or Yellow Lines to reach the airport, but check with the hotel about shuttle service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City&lt;br /&gt;550 Army Navy Drive              &lt;br /&gt;Arlington, Virginia 22202&lt;br /&gt;Phone:&amp;nbsp;1-703-413-6630 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g30242-d110697-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Residence_Inn_Arlington_Pentagon_City-Arlington_Virginia.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click here for TripAdvisor&#39;s information on &lt;br /&gt;the Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gEVrj1HAMWg/TpuQGA_cGRI/AAAAAAAAAvo/67Iux4CXzUk/s1600/tripadvisor-logo.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The Pentagon City Metro Station and Walking Directions to the Residence Inn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;The Pentagon City Metro Station is on the Blue and Yellow Lines. &amp;nbsp;The ride to L&#39;Enfant Plaza on the Yellow Line takes about 6 minutes. &amp;nbsp;The Blue Line also stops at L&#39;Enfant Plaza, but the ride is about twice as long. &amp;nbsp;The good thing about the Blue Line is that it stops at the Smithsonian Station.&lt;br /&gt;At .3 miles (about a 6 minute walk), the Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City is near the Pentagon City Metro Station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pentagon City Metro Station is next to the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City shopping mall, a DC visitor favorite.&amp;nbsp; There are two equally convenient routes from the  Metro Station to the hotel. As you leave the station&#39;s turnstile area, there is a tunnel.&amp;nbsp; If you turn left, the tunnel leads to the food court level of the mall; but to reach the hotel you should turn right.&amp;nbsp; After turning right go to the end of the tunnel and use the escalator to reach the street level.&amp;nbsp; At the top of the escalator you will find South Hayes Street to your right.&amp;nbsp; Turn right on South Hayes and either walk a long block to Army-Navy Drive where you need to turn right, or after just a few steps down South Hayes turn right on 12th Street and then left on South Fern Street.&amp;nbsp; The Residence Inn is at the corner of Army-Navy Drive and South Fern Street.&amp;nbsp; Both routes from the Metro station to the  hotel may be sparsely traveled, particularly at night.&amp;nbsp; Caution is warranted. &amp;nbsp;Also, there is a lot of construction along South Hayes Street. &amp;nbsp;The best route to the hotel may depend on what construction is being done when you visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to being close to the District, National Airport, and the Pentagon City shopping mall, there are a few neighborhood  restaurants  and shops within walking distance of the hotel. Check with hotel staff for more information and their restaurant recommendations. If  you are a  Costco member, bring your card. &amp;nbsp;The warehouse club is a  short walk from  the station. &amp;nbsp;Ask at the hotel for directions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #0b5394;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Select Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City Amenities (as of April 2010)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Full kitchens&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Complimentary breakfast daily&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nightly social hours (Monday to Thursday)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;On site parking $23/day&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;High speed Internet access&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fitness center&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Airport shuttle service, on request, complimentary&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Check with hotel staff to make sure amenities important to you have not   changed and that nothing prevents walking from the Metro station.&amp;nbsp; DC&amp;nbsp; by Metro staff last walked  the route:&amp;nbsp; April 2013.&lt;br /&gt;Distances and times are approximate.&amp;nbsp; Walking time based on a 20 minute mile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;amp;source=s_d&amp;amp;saddr=S+Hayes+St&amp;amp;daddr=550+Army+Navy+Drive,+Arlington,+VA+%28Residence+Inn+Arlington+Pentagon+City%29+%4038.864599,-77.056219&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;geocode=Fd__UAIdHCto-w%3BFdcGUQIdJTdo-w&amp;amp;mra=dme&amp;amp;mrcr=0&amp;amp;mrsp=0&amp;amp;sz=16&amp;amp;dirflg=w&amp;amp;sll=38.863637,-77.057526&amp;amp;sspn=0.004929,0.013797&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;ll=38.863771,-77.057483&amp;amp;spn=0.004795,0.013797&amp;amp;z=16&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Google Map.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6e6rtQPVWp0/TRtVRvtapkI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/gfLbMYC-dk8/s1600/pentagon-city-residence-inn.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;This hotel is near visitor friendly Fashion Centre at Pentagon City&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6e6rtQPVWp0/TRtVRvtapkI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/gfLbMYC-dk8/s320/pentagon-city-residence-inn.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6e6rtQPVWp0/TRtVsJhYYyI/AAAAAAAAAjU/dy_KNBevQOQ/s1600/pentagon-city-residence-inn-2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;This hotel is about .3 miles from the Pentagon City Metro Station&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6e6rtQPVWp0/TRtVsJhYYyI/AAAAAAAAAjU/dy_KNBevQOQ/s320/pentagon-city-residence-inn-2.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for visiting DC by Metro.

Metro lines--blue, orange and yellow, and ten metrorail stops in Virginia have hotels near the metro station (i.e., within a twelve minute walk of the station).&amp;nbsp; The two major areas served by the metro subway system are Arlington and Alexandria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arlington, VA is a county bordering Washington, DC.&amp;nbsp; The original intention was for Arlington to be part of DC, but the land was returned to Virginia in 1846, in part, due to slavery issues.&amp;nbsp; Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon are located in Arlington, VA.&amp;nbsp; Arlington metro stations that have hotels nearby include Rosslyn (the first Blue and Orange Line stop in Virginia), Pentagon City, Crystal City, Courthouse, Ballston, and East Falls Church.&amp;nbsp; You may be particularly interested in exploring area hotels located near Ballston, Pentagon City, and Crystal City metro stations.&amp;nbsp; These are bustling shopping areas, offering desirable amenities for visitors and a wide selection of hotels, including two Marriott Hotels, a Residence Inn, a Hilton, Holiday Inn, Westin, Ritz Carlton, Hampton Inn, Raddison, and Sheraton.&amp;nbsp; Rosslyn has less shopping, but there are numerous hotels near the Rosslyn Metro Subway Station, including a Hyatt, Palomar, Holiday Inn, Marriott, Residence Inn and Courtyard.&amp;nbsp; In short, for visitors to Washington, DC, Arlington, VA offers many hotels located near metro stations.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The city of Alexandria, Virginia also offers visitors a wide selection  of hotels, shopping and tourist attractions.&amp;nbsp; Alexandria, home to George  Washington, is an historic city with colonial charm that has survived  to today.&amp;nbsp; Three Metro Subway stops serve the Alexandria, VA  area--Braddock Road, King Street-Old Town, and Eisenhower Avenue.&amp;nbsp;  Hotels in the Alexandria, Va area that are near metro subway stations  include a Hilton, Embassy Suites, two Residence Inns, Hampton Inn,  Holiday Inn, Lorien Hotel and Spa, and Wyndham.&amp;nbsp; In addition, there are  several Alexandria area hotels that are beyond DCbyMetro&#39;s normal  walking distance but near a DC MetroSubway&amp;nbsp; Station if you do not mind a  long walk.&amp;nbsp; These include a Courtyard, SpringHill Suites, &amp;nbsp;Sheraton, and Holiday Inn. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three of the stops in Arlington, Virginia (Ballston, Pentagon City  and Crystal City) also have&amp;nbsp;major shopping areas with food courts and  more upscale restaurants.&amp;nbsp; Additionally, the Ronald Reagan Washington  National Airport has its own metro station, which is between the Crystal  City and Braddock Road Stations and is served by the blue and yellow  lines.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for your next trip to DC you may want to  consider staying in Northern Virginia in one of the many Washington, DC  hotels near metro stations.  Your DC hotel awaits you in Virginia.  Thanks for visiting DC by Metro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a blend of numerous hotels, shopping, restaurants and proximity to Downtown Washington, DC, three stops deserve special mention--King Street-Old Town serving Alexandria/Old Town, Virginia; Crystal City and Ballston, the latter two being in Arlington County, VA.&amp;nbsp; We have designated these metro subway stations as Five Star Stops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot;

font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Are you planning a hotel stay in a major city in the near future?&amp;nbsp; Do you plan on staying at a national chain?&amp;nbsp; There is a good chance you can trim your hotel bill with just a few minutes of planning.&amp;nbsp; This is especially the case if your stay includes nights late in the week—Thursday through Saturday.&amp;nbsp; For  example, on a recent trip to Washington, DC I was able, with a five  minute phone call, to cut my four-day hotel bill from the $836 it would  have cost had I followed the advice of my employer’s travel agency to $446, and  I did not have to change to another hotel or even downgrade my hotel  room.&amp;nbsp; The steps I used are described below.&amp;nbsp; Try them and you too may be able to save.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;margin-top: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Pick your desired hotel(s).&amp;nbsp; Selecting several hotels probably      increases your chances of savings, but they should be hotels acceptable to      you.&amp;nbsp; If the hotels you select cater      to business travelers, you have an even better chance of finding a great      deal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;For each day you plan to stay check rates for      the hotels you have selected.&amp;nbsp; For      example, if you are planning a four-night stay from Tuesday to Saturday,      check the rate for each night separately.&amp;nbsp;      You might find that Tuesday and Wednesday nights cost substantially      more than Thursday and Friday nights.&amp;nbsp;      My  experience in staying in the Washington, DC area is that Sunday       through Wednesday nights are most expensive and Thursday through  Saturday      are substantially less expensive. &amp;nbsp;(Sometimes Sunday is in the less expensive group.) &amp;nbsp;This is particularly the case when I stay just outside the      city.&amp;nbsp; Having the Metro makes this      next to no sacrifice.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;If  you find different rates for different      nights, call reservations  and ask for the lower rates for as many of the      nights you plan to  stay as possible.&amp;nbsp;      Otherwise, the hotel is likely to quote the higher rate for all the      nights in hopes that you will pay.&amp;nbsp;      In the above example, my employer’s travel agent booked my room for      $209/night for a Wednesday through Sunday stay.&amp;nbsp; It  turned out that when I checked each      night separately Wednesday  night cost $209, but the other nights could be      booked for $79 per  night.&amp;nbsp; I called      the hotel’s corporate reservation  line and asked for the lower rate for      Thursday through Saturday  nights, which the reservation clerk did      willingly, and I saved  almost $400.&amp;nbsp;      I did not have to check out and check back in, and I got the same      room I would have gotten for the higher charge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;If you have flexibility on the days you travel,      do the above price checking first.&amp;nbsp;      You might be able to cut out the expensive nights all together just      by altering your schedule.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;As  an aside, the above is particularly easy in      the Washington, D.C.  area, and if you find a hotel near a Metro stop,      staying in  Northern Virginia or Maryland will open you to the entire area       without the hassle of having to drive.&amp;nbsp;      In short, you can have your cake and save money too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2011/09/bargain-hotels-in-washington-dc.html&quot;&gt;Click Here for information on Washington, DC hotel bargains.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Of Course, if you want a dirt cheap hotel,&lt;br /&gt;it never hurts to explore extreme deals such&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;as the unpublished deals at Expedia.

Conveniently, all five hotels are clustered in the same general area.&amp;nbsp; As a result, if you have a meeting at one of these hotels and would prefer to stay at a nearby hotel, you can stay at any of the others and still be within walking distance of your meeting.&amp;nbsp; These hotels are also within walking distance of Capitol Hill, although depending where on the Hill you want to visit (e.g., the House office buildings) the walk may be over a half mile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder=&quot;0&quot;

But with 100+ shops and a wide selection of eateries, including full-service restaurants and a food court, Union Station is much more than just a transportation hub, and to top it off the building itself is a worthy tourist destination.&amp;nbsp; In fact, according to &lt;i&gt;Travel and Leisure&lt;/i&gt;, Union Station, with 39 million visitors per year is the third most visited tourist attraction in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot;

This beautiful building set the standard for many of DC’s architectural landmarks that followed, including the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the Federal Triangle, the Supreme Court Building and the National Gallery of Art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are in the main hall look up at the 36 Roman legionnaires perched on the ledge high above the floor and picture them as nudes for behind the shields they hold that is just what they are.&amp;nbsp; The shields were added to blunt feared public outrage.&amp;nbsp; Of course, you will also want to marvel at the grandeur of the massive hall with its 90+ feet high ceiling.&amp;nbsp; In short, inside and out this impressive structure is worthy of a visit.&amp;nbsp; However, you should take note that as of this writing (Summer 2012) Union Station is undergoing extensive repairs necessitated by the major earthquake that struck the region in 2011, additionally damaging the National Cathedral and the Washington Monument. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot;

D Street Exit and  the 7th St, Maryland Avenue, Smithsonian Museums Exit are about the same distance from the Holiday Inn, but the latter is  closer to the  National Mall.&amp;nbsp; As you leave the 7th Street/Maryland Avenue/Smithsonian  Museums Exit escalator, Maryland Avenue is on your left.&amp;nbsp; Walk along  Maryland in the same direction as you are heading when you leave the  escalator.&amp;nbsp; Turn right on 6th Street and as you walk down 6th you will  be able to see the Holiday Inn Washington-Capitol on your left.&amp;nbsp; The hotel is about .2 miles (4 minutes) from the Metro Station. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Federal Center SW Metro Station on the Blue and Orange Lines (about a 2 minute ride to the L&#39;Enfant Plaza Metro Station)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  can reach the Holiday Inn from this Metro Station.&amp;nbsp; However, you might  find that the L&#39;Enfant Plaza Station is a more comfortable walk.&amp;nbsp; The hotel is about .3 miles (6 minutes) from the Metro Station. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Selected  Holiday Inn Washington-Capitol Amenities (as of July 2013)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Complimentary high-speed Internet access&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business center&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Seasonal rooftop pool&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fitness center&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Self parking $30.00/day (plus tax) ($35.40 total) [1,000 spaces available]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Check with Holiday Inn Washington-Capitol staff to make sure amenities important to you have not  changed and that nothing prevents walking from the Metro station.&amp;nbsp;

It takes about 30 minutes to reach downtown Washington, D.C. on the  Orange Line Metro Subway.  &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g60996-d550940-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Courtyard_by_Marriott_Dunn_Loring_Fairfax-Vienna_Virginia.html&quot;

In addition, there is a shopping and restaurant district nearby including an  IMAX theater.&amp;nbsp; It is about a 19 minute ride on the metro subway&#39;s Yellow Line from this Virginia hotel to downtown Washington, DC.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g30226-d83907-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Holiday_Inn_Alexandria_SW_Eisenhower_Ave-Alexandria_Virginia.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here for TripAdvisor&#39;s information on the Holiday Inn Alexandria, SW-Eisenhower Ave.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2010/12/holiday-inn-hotel-rosslyn-at-key-bridge.html&quot;&gt;At about 4 Minutes the Holiday Inn Rosslyn at Key Bridge is a Short Walk from the Rosslyn Metro Station.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;With its free covered parking this Holiday Inn is the closest Virginia hotel to Washington,&amp;nbsp; DC with both free parking and easy metro access.&amp;nbsp; The Rosslyn Metro Station is just across the river from famed Georgetown and offers convenient access to downtown Washington, DC.&amp;nbsp; The station is served by the Orange and Blue Lines, both of which stop at the Smithsonian Metro Station.  &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g30242-d223231-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Holiday_Inn_Rosslyn_Key_Bridge-Arlington_Virginia.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click here for TripAdvisor&#39;s information on  the Holiday Inn Rosslyn at Key Bridge.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;[NOTE:&amp;nbsp; If you are interested in one of the hotels listed on this page, be sure to check with hotel staff to make sure it still offers  free parking.&amp;nbsp; After all hotel managers do change their minds now and  then.] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;DC Area Hotels With Free Parking That are More Than a Six Minute Walk from the Metro Station (but still walkable)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Best Western Rosslyn Iwo Jima Arlington Virginia Hotel &lt;/b&gt;(about .4 miles from the Rosslyn Metro Station) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g30242-d110700-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Best_Western_Rosslyn_Iwo_Jima-Arlington_Virginia.html&quot;&gt;Find the best deal, compare prices, and read what other travelers have to say at TripAdvisor.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Comfort Inn Ballston&lt;/b&gt; (about .5 miles from the Ballston-MU Metro Stop in Virginia) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g30242-d110704-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Comfort_Inn_Ballston-Arlington_Virginia.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;See TripAdvisor&#39;s 40+ Reviews of the Comfort Inn Ballston&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Americana Hotel:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt; The Americana is a budget hotel located in Crystal City, Virginia, and if you check out TripAdvisor, you will probably find that previous guests liked it. &amp;nbsp;It is located about&amp;nbsp;midway between the Crystal City and Pentagon City Metro Stations.&amp;nbsp; The Americana has a free shuttle that serves the Crystal City and Pentagon City area.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4282601-10775740?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tripadvisor.com%2FHotel_Review-g30242-d120572-Reviews-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.4282601-m13092-Americana_Hotel-Arlington_Virginia.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;See TripAdvisor&#39;s 235+ reviews of this hotel.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Check here for other&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcbymetro.com/2011/09/bargain-hotels-in-washington-dc.html&quot;&gt;Budget Hotels.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;[Note: The Best Western Rosslyn Iwo Jima, Comfort Inn Ballston, and Americana Hotel are beyond the distance normally covered by DCbyMetro but are presented here for your information.
