Everyone,
In addition to Lucy's timely warning about the elevators at Dupont Circle, it would be good for people to know that once they get to the top of the escalator at the Q Street Metro entrance (closest to the hotel), the walk to the hotel up Connecticut Avenue on the east side is about 4 blocks slightly uphill until you get to the last block which is steeper! Please keep Lucy's statement and the distance to Metro in mind if you are trying to get to and from other meetings. If you're not an escalator walker (as many people around here are), the ride up the escalator at Dupont can take nearly 5 minutes because it is so long.

Subject: SAA attendees — Dupont Circle Metro Elevators out of service
Dear SAA attendees who might need elevators,
As someone who uses the Dupont Circle Metro regularly, I wanted to let people who are coming to SAA and planning to use Metro that the elevators at the Dupont Circle Metro Station are out of service for repair. This is the station that is closest to the Hilton. The (long) escalators will hopefully be in service! If you need shuttle service, Metro advises that you call 202-962-1825 to arrange to be picked up at next station on the Red Line at Woodley Park.
For a longer explanation, see: http://www.wmata.com/about/met_news/story.cfm?ID=872
Indeed, if using escalators is difficult or impossible for you, it would be worth looking at the general information on Metro's Elevator Status since elevator outages are very common at different stations as they do long-term maintenance. The list is updated regularly: http://www.wmata.com/riding/eles_status.cfm?nocache
Safe travels,
Lucy
