Camden runs far less frequently than Penn, and not at all in the middle of the day. See schedules
here.
Thanks for the Sched.link . . . the Camden line will work (providing I hit it like ColumbiaPete says...) -grab an early PM rush hour train, check-in at the Hampton, and hit the game - PERFECT !!

Can't say the same for the new Courtyard - now that I know where we're talking about, I just drove by it the other day, didn't know it was there...really bad location, I guess they built hoping to be filled with government rate rooms from the new ATF headquarters across the street, but really it's a nasty neighborhood with little to recommend it for a visitor.
Thanks for the recommendation / confirmation that the Hampton/Camden is a good property. After a few headaches as a HH-Diamond I try to stay clear of HH now, but thought the location and point-value for this property was really good....and I'm not just going to "give-away" my HH points so I better use them.
I will definitely look at changing that WDC-CY property, it doesn't sound anything close to what we want. I'm wondering if the DEA shares space with the ATF Hdqtrs building. I have some family that both work DEA and suggested there was a new hotel (the CY)...I wonder if they just said that because it is across the street.
They didn't tell me I could get drugs-n-guns at the same time <must be a family prank they're trying to pull on me>
