I stated at a place I found on TripAdvisor in their "vacation rentals". Cheaper than the hotels. Basically a fully equipped 1 bedroom apartment. Very quiet, very comfortable. Walking distance to Whole Foods and OPM; took quick cab to SI at Embassy Suites but walked back. Accessible by Metro and a short walk, from and to Reagan airport.

Hmmm, any thoughts on whether a shutdown could affect, i.e., lower, hotel rates in early October?

first day historically has been at OPM. SI started out in one location fall 2015 and then moved to a second location near the end of the time frame. Both locations were several blocks from the OPM building.

This information I posted can be gleaned from the OPM website.

stayed at the hilton garden inn next to embassy suite last time. it was very convenient but with the SI location unknown not sure which direction from OPM would be best. actually, several testing that my time frame stayed there at the hilton. at that time it was fairly priced with a great location for all testing.

i know where GWU is for sure. unless it is several blocks west that might be the place to stay.

I believe I stayed at the Foggy Bottom Courtyard by Marriott - which is almost across the street from OPM HQ. Plus there is a Starbucks between the hotel and OPM. Took a cab to the Embassy Suites where the SI was the next day, and walked back. Then walked the Washington Mall to rid myself of all my pent-up anxiety. Best of luck to all. As a side note, you should inform your mother not to get hauled into the ICU at 3 AM the morning of your interview - although it will put this process in some perspective!

Dumb question, but I'm assuming the OPM everyone refers to is the office at 1900 E Street N.W.? (Some agencies have more than one location, and having experienced counties with two courthouses I know better than to assume that Google knows the address. If you put in "OPM" you will also get a N. Capitol St. Address which turns out to be a nursing home! Test & after exam medication in one building, what could be better?)
So it is I ask the dumb question.
I also assume from having read the prior posts that the interview, wherever that will be, will most likely be in the general area of the OPM HQ on E Street?
Thanks!

It is really important for everyone to take a look at Metro's SafeTrack schedule. I'm a daily commuter here in DC, so I've been dealing with the service disruptions for a while now. Plan accordingly. wmata.com/rail/safetrack.cfm
