HOSTELS / LOW COST HOTELS IN DC AREA
PLEASE NOTE: Listings are in no particular order. All accommodations are in the Washington DC area (please note that some locations in Northern Virginia may be closer to the rally site, which is in downtown DC, than some of the DC locations).

Hotels for bus drivers: The hotels that accept buses for parking are noted. If your bus driver is going to a hotel to rest and the hotel does not have bus parking, he/she can park at the designated metro station and then take the metro to the hotel.

These are lost cost options
