There are three hotel options near the Vienna Metro. We recommend taking a look at the Holiday Inn before the Rodeway or Best Western. Both the Rodeway Inn and Best Western are motels in which rooms open to outside. You cannot walk from any of the hotels to the Vienna Metro, but parking is available at the station for $5 per day and there are 71 metered spaces. At the Holiday Inn wifi, parking and breakfast are free. Breakfast includes both hot and cold items and was often spoken of highly in online reviews.

Vienna Neighborhood: Vienna is a suburb in northern Virginia located at the end of the orange line. Here you’ll find typical suburban sprawl—multi-lane highways, strip malls, and a mix of townhouses and single-family homes. The biggest upside to this area is proximity to the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy museum that features hundreds of real fighter jets, and the space shuttle. This is a fairly affluent area where the biggest struggle will be the traffic and the area’s general lack of walkability. Expect to spend over 30 minutes commuting in the city. or bikers and joggers, the W & OD Trail conveniently runs through Vienna on its way to the rest of Arlington (and runs right by Caboose Brewing Company if you need nourishment on your ride/walk). Attractions in Vienna include nearby Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts and Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, which features trails, a pond, and a children’s garden.
