I've had pretty good experiences while mattress running here. The location's not ideal as far as Crystal City goes, but the interior and the staff make up for that.
A few more transportation options for Crystal City:
- The
Crystal City Shops garages are free after 4PM (until..?) and all day on weekends; the nearest entrance is up on 23rd Street, two long blocks/four real blocks from the hotel.
-
Capital Bikeshare stations are plentiful in the Crystal City-Pentagon City area. There's one by the employee entrance on Crystal Drive, near Starbucks; from there, you can go north to the Metro or restaurants on 23rd, south to Harris Teeter at Potomac Yards, or west to Pentagon City mall.
- Longer term bike rental is also available nearby at
Revolution Cycles, a great option for a day trip to Mount Vernon, Alexandria, or DC via the Mount Vernon Trail along the Potomac.
- By 2013, a rapid bus line is supposed to begin operation along that wide grassy strip next to Crystal Drive.
