I've been in DC since June 6th, but I staying on Georgetown's campus so I probably can't be of much help with hotels.

 

But I will be attending the game Saturday night!

 

Hopefully we will be on a 5-game winning streak at that point.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'll be at the game too!

 

Unfortunately, I am of no help since I'm staying in MD.

There aren't any hotels right near Nationals Stadium. I would recommend staying anywhere in the metro area near a Metro train stop. Nationals Park is off of the Navy Yard stop on the green line. The green line connects to the other lines at a few locations in downtown DC, so you can stay at a hotel near any of the lines.

 

Staying anywhere in the DC area, especially in summer tourist season, is going to be pretty expensive unless you don't mind things along the Motel 6 type and even those will cost what a Hampton Inn would cost in another city.

apete pretty much nailed it. Just stay somewhere relatively close to a metro stop, and you should be fine. You probably don't want to stay too close to the stadium anyway, as the immediate area around the stadium is still being developed.

 

I'm looking forward to the series, as I have tickets to Sunday's game.

Sorry to bump this, but does anyone know who's slated to pitch Saturday or has Lou not announced a decision yet?

If anyone is looking for a ticket to Sunday's game in DC, I have an extra one. It's in section 225, row H.
