silver spring. ok, i'm not sure which metro this is near up there, but
from the silver spring metro to woodly park (the redline) will take
about 30-45 min. if it's another metro line or stop, i'm not sure.

fyi, union station is on the redline, so that's nice if the quality inn
is near a redline stop. (as is the marriott/shmoocon - woodly park)

but for those looking for dc metro help, http://www.wmata.com/ has a
little "trip planner", the usual stuff.

cheers,
