If you don't want to walk up the long hill on a hot summer morning, you can take Metrobus. Bus 42 runs from the Dupont Circle metro straight up Connecticut Avenue to the hotel. The ride is roughly 2 minutes. The bus schedule is available at: http://wmata.com/timetables/view.cfm?line=105. It runs every 10-15 minutes. What to do: When you enter the metro, dispense a bus transfer after you've gone through the metro fare gates and before you get on the escalator for the rail platform -- look for a little square brown machine. (The bus will cost $.35 with the transfer and $1.25 without a transfer - exact change required). Exit the Dupont Circle station by following the signs for Q Street / Dupont Circle North. When you arrive at the street, make a sharp right and cross Connecticut Avenue (the big one with the median). Stand at the metro bus sign. Take Bus # 42 Mount Pleasant.

The bus driver should be more than happy to help you find your stop. If you miss Florida Avenue and see the hotel to your right, get off at the next stop and walk down the hill to the hotel.

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. Eric Eric G.
