ADDITIONAL DRIVING DIRECTIONS 

The hotel provides written driving directions if you’d like to confirm that Google is sending you off the correct pier. When driving in DC, we highly recommend listening to the day’s traffic reports as you make your way into the city. WTOP (FM 103.5) has traffic and weather every ten minutes “on the 8’s” and can be a lifesaver.

DC WEATHER

DC in January can be unpredictable when it comes to weather.  We’ve lived through feet of snow as well as been 70 degrees and balmy.  Be sure to check the forecast before you arrive.
