ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: The meeting rooms are in the same building as the sleeping rooms. However, it should be noted that the meeting rooms are split across two floors (Mezzanine and 2nd level). Elevators are available to move between floors. On the Mezzanine level, a few stairs lead to one of the meeting rooms but a mobility access ramp is available. Hotel staff will be on hand to operate the ramp as needed. 

Airports: 

• Washington National Airport is located 11 miles from the hotel which is a 40-minute drive. It is also accessible by Metrorail.

The hotel does not provide shuttle service to either airport. You may arrange transportation via rental car, airport shuttle, taxi or public transportation. The Silver Spring Metrorail station is a 10-minute walk and three-minute drive to the hotel. Taxis and ride-sharing services can be obtained on the third-level of the Silver Spring Transit Center located next to the rail station.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: The walk from the Silver Spring metro station to the hotel is uphill. However, there is a taxi stand on the top level of the Transit Center that is right outside of the Metro station. Both the Metro and the transportation center have elevators. It’s advisable to check the status of WMATA’s elevators prior to your travels.
