Staying There
The reduced-rate block of rooms at the Doubletree has filled, but rooms are available at, or below, per diem rates at several nearby hotels:

- Hampton Inn Silver Spring: directly across the street, below per diem rates available

- Sheraton Silver Spring: one block away, below per diem rates available

- Marriott Courtyard Silver Spring Downtown: one block away, below per diem rates available

Getting There
By Metro: the Silver Spring metro stop is three blocks from the DoubleTree on Colesville Road, less than 10 minutes by foot through a pedestrian-friendly area.

By car: the Doubletree offers $20 valet-parking only, but there are several Silver Spring garages (at $1.00 per hour) within a 2-block radius, including the Wayne Avenue Garage (921 Wayne Ave), the Town Square Garage (801 Ellsworth Dr), and the Spring Cameron Garage (8700 Cameron St). As this is a dense, urban area with heavy traffic volumes, it is recommended that out of town travelers forgo a rental car.
