DORMS

Dorm rooms are charged by bed space. For a SINGLE dorm room (ie 1 bed in a room), the charge will be $40/night. For a DOUBLE dorm room it will be $35/night PER BED! So, if you are sharing with another person, you each pay $35/night. If you choose a double room for you and a couple of kids and thus want both beds, it will be $70/night.  Dorms are single sex, please arrange to share with someone of the same sex.  You are responsible for providing or creating a safe sleep environment for your baby (ie pack n’ play, space with mom, etc).

Linens are not included and can be added for $25/bed
Pillows are not included and can be purchase for $5/ea

You may of course bring your own linens and pillows. Or, wraps make lovely pillows/blankets.

HOTELS

Because we are arranging for dorm availability, we have not reserved blocks of rooms at any hotels.  For a little bit of reference, the Brookland-CUA stop on the red line is the one for the conference.  You can reference the Metro map here.  Heading out toward the MD suburbs will likely net better prices.  For most central locations, somewhere near Metro Center or Gallery Place gets you access to several lines.  The Dupont Circle area is very artsy, lots of galleries and nightlife if you’re coming without kids.  Cleveland Park and Woodley Park are both walking distance to the National Zoo (lots of options around there, more than highlighted here).  I probably would avoid the RI Ave – Brentwood/New York Ave – Galludet station areas.

CAMPGROUNDS

Check with the campgrounds about distance to Metro stations and any bus transport to the Metro. Many of these are NOT walking distance to the Metro.
