The Best White Flint Hotel: Marriott
Why: Close to I-270, Low Weekend Rates
The Marriott is the only hotel near the White Flint Metro. White Flint is located in the affluent Maryland suburbs N.E. of Washington, DC. The location stands out for its proximity to I-270. It is easy to walk to the hotel to the Metro. Travelers will find rates drastically drop at this location during the weekend when business travelers are away. Tourist won’t appreciate this hotel because parking, wifi and breakfast are not included. Even though the location is in good area, more desirable options in terms of hotels and location can be found in Bethesda. Bethesda is just two stops down the Red line closer to downtown DC.
White Flint Neighborhood: The White Flint metro stop is located in the Maryland suburb of Rockville, north of DC and Bethesda on the red line. The metro is located on the bustling Rockville Pike, containing strip malls and shopping centers, with townhomes and single-family homes as you move farther out from the Pike, and the area is made up of affluent families and professionals.
Things to Do: Those looking to dive into Maryland history can visit the Montgomery County Historical Society or head to Civic Center Park, where you’ll find Glenview Mansion, the Croydon Creek Nature Center, trails, gardens, and playgrounds. For visitors looking to get active, Rock Creek Park offers miles of trails that lead all the way to Georgetown in DC, and Rockville is also home to Earth Treks Climbing Center and Zipline and Aerial Adventure Parks.
What to Eat: The area directly around the hotel is made up of generic strip malls with national chain restaurants—think Chili’s and Olive Garden—and national chain shopping—Target, Payless, etc. Taking the metro south to Bethesda will give you many more dining and shopping options. However, if you have a car, there are plenty of attractions in Rockville. La Brasa Latin Cuisine is a favorite of locals, as is Polish deli the Kielbasa Factory. Try to make it to Twin Valley Distillers to try their handcrafted, locally sourced bourbon whiskeys, rums, and vodkas.
