City Transportation
The Washington, D.C. subway system is called Metro. The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel Hotel is located on the Red Line – use Woodley Park/Adams Morgan/National Zoo stop. Metro hours of operation:
* Metro operates seven days a week.
* Rail stations open at 5:00 a.m. on weekdays and 7:00 a.m. on Saturday
* Metro closes at midnight (3:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays).
* When traveling late at night, be sure to check the scheduled departure time for the last train. At many stations, the last train departs before midnight (3:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays) so it is important that you allow enough time to enter the system and board the train.
