biddingforhotel Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 The self parking right at the basement parking deck is $17 per night, very convenient and safe and need room key to get in and out, good till 6pm at the check out date, so it is great after checked out. If you want to save $17 parking, you may find many street free night parking with meter, and Sunday is parking free, otherwise, may need to get up and feed some coin if not check out early morning.It is in particular convenient of this location because one block away is Roselyn Station of the Metro that has both blue line and orange line and most attractions in DC area by foot. Right next to it is this award winning 3 level McDonald where we had a cone after lunch at across street Quizno sub whose bath is very clean! :o We had dinner at the Chipole and there is another Cosi ... the area seem like Newport at Jersey City across river to Manhattan.We also took the nice walk thru Key Bridge over Potomac River to George Town, so many students and tourist, everywhere was full of people, many restaurants had long line. We also enjoy some nice time at the park down to river where we got lost the previous night on K Street going to the hotel and found this wonderful view. Then we checked out this 3000 K Street called Sequoia water front restaurant where we were told 10 presidents ate there! Right next to it is a very nice place, Sweden Embassy, museum, free drinks, events, ...etc. Then we found the brand new bikeshare rack right next and check out bikes, each $5 daily membership with $101 deposit with credit card. It starts in just September, so new so nice with bell and flashing lights, good for 24 hours. So we ride all the way back to hotel.However, although there were 14 bikeshare stations in Arlington area, no one close to the hotel, so we end up have to ride back to return the bikes. Even worse, the bikeshare station at Georgetown and Sequioa where we rented both FULL :) so we had to call customer services to find out nearest bikeshare station at New Hampshare Ave ... What a nightmare! :) Link to comment
