holiday inn national airport/crystal city to metro

There was some confusion over booking a cab to pick us up at 4am our check-in agent had tried calling the cab company and was told that we would have to call in the morning to get a cab. The hotel airport shuttle didn't start operation until 6am, but they said that we could take a taxi and they would reimburse the fare upon our return. Metro ride to Smithsonian took less than 20 minutes, location was convenient, and the price was right.Īrrived Wednesday, March 6th Purpose: to spend the night before an early 6am flight from Reagan National, and a place to leave the car for the week we are gone. All in all, for the price and location, this is a great place to stay for families looking to tour D.C. The bathroom was nice enough, standard hotel style, if a little out dated. They were comfortable enough, but I prefer a bigger pillow. Like most Holiday Inns, this one went with those weird, small, almost bubble-shaped pillows. This is a small thing, but made for better sleep. I prefer a dark room, and was happy to see that the smoke detector was mounted on the side wall, and not overhead. Our rooms were cleaned and beds made, each day. We left each day at 8am, and arrived back near dark. The walk is along and across heavy traffic and at me point we used the underground walkway at a bus stop to cross over.

If you walk from the hotel to Crystal City metro, the walk is about half-a-mile. Speaking of the Metro, it's very clean, convenient, and relatively inexpensive. on Monday, parked, rode the Metro for four days, then departed. We requested rooms that wer near to each other or eve connected, and were given rooms just two rooms apart. There were several tour groups staying at our hotel, but once inside our rooms, we didn't hear from them. The hotel is just off a major highway, with a McDonals's next door. Oddly, they provide shampoo but no conditioner. We had two double beds and both rooms had small refrigerators and coffee makes. Save the hotel phone numer on your phone and call when you need to be picked up.

The hotel is located within walking distance to the Crystal City metro. I recently booked two rooms for myself and family members.
