Driving and parking can be difficult downtown; most people in DC choose to take taxis, use the Metro system, or walk. Passengers pay for the Metrorail via farecards available at self-serve machines, and must retain the farecards to exit. A single ride costs less than $5. One-day and multi-day passes are also available. The hotel is above the Farragut West Metro station, and one block from Farragut North Metro station. |

DC TAXIS |

Service: |
Taxi |

|
Washington is alleged to have more taxis per person than any other city in America, and taxis are readily available within the center of the city. All Washington taxis have meters, and a tip of 10-15% in addition to the meter fare is appropriate. Note that in certain circumstances, passengers share taxis in Washington, so your driver might stop for someone else while you are in a taxi…or might stop for you when he already has another passenger. |
