Planning to stay here next week. I ideally need access to the Metro to make it to GWU and U of MD. Do you think the extra $100/night is worth staying at the HR Washington at the Capitol?
Not looking for anything exciting, but access to the Metro is imperative. Anyone have any thoughts on how reliable the shuttle is from HRCC to metro in Arlington?
The shuttle runs like clockwork. On every quarter hour to the Crystal City Metro station, every 20 minutes (00/20/40) to the airport. No need to call. I think they stop the Metro one later in the evening, but the airport one goes to at least midnight.
For point of reference - I take a taxi to Navy Yard when I'm there because I don't feel like showing up at the client site like a sweaty mess. Cost is always $18-$22. So unless there is a physical issue preventing a taxi ride, you're still better off at the Crystal City location than the HR/Capitol.
