Luggage storage Washington DC
Hi,
I need some advice. My wife will join a conference at the Gaylord Convention Center in like Maryland. The conference ends on a Friday around noon but her flight does not leave until 10:20pm from IAD. She wants to spent the afternoon in Washington for some sightseeing. Question is what to do with the luggage.
In my opinion it makes no sense to leave it at the Convention Center and to go back and forth. I think it would be better to store the luggage somewhere downtown Washington DC.
So I have some questions:
1) What is the best option for transportation to get from the Convention Center to Washington DC downtown in regards of convenience?
2) Where is it this possible to store luggage or which location would you recommend? I already did a google search and found a lot of storage services like bounce, vertoe, etc. . Does anyone has any experience with them and can recommend a service?

There is the LuggageHero smartphone app that gives lots of paid options for storing luggage in DC.
There is also the Stasher app that gives paid options for storing luggage in DC.
In all cases, pay close attention to the location closing times and verify the closing times in person before dropping off the luggage for storage.
About picking luggage location in DC or possibly Virginia, I would pick luggage storage locations based on what the plan is to get out to IAD airport.

there are bus lines to green and yellow stations and you can do Uber and taxis..
option 1 move Thursday night hotel stay to a hotel in downtown DC, Arlington, Alexandria and store luggage at the hotel and then pick it up then going to the airport.
Silver line to Dulles from lenfant/ metro center stations is going to be about an hour ride.
she could pick a hotel near where she would have dinner.
she could eat at 6 pm, get luggage from hotel, take metro to airport arriving around 8pm or so.
Option 2 union station has a bag hold option available. Its on red line. It will be about 75 min from Dulles.
option 3 can rent a car for a day and drive to Dulles storing bag in trunk of car.
option 4 do you have hotel status? You could use this to get storage at that chain hotel.
option 5 some hotels have day rates where you can pay for a hotel room for the afternoon to use to store the bag.
