Top Strategic Tips

    Use the nearby bus stops (S2 line) for a direct and affordable route to the White House and downtown DC.

  • 02

    Reserve a room with a private bathroom if shared facilities are not suitable; some rooms have shared toilets and showers.

  • 03

    Plan to arrive at any time using the access code provided after booking-late-night arrivals are straightforward.

    Factor in the $15 daily parking fee if driving; free street parking is available but observe residential parking rules.
