Buses are welcome. In fact, the hotel is a popular destination for bus tours including elderly travelers. While photographing the hotel, I watched an elderly woman get off of the elevator in the lobby and two different staff members in the lobby greeted her by name. That is a rarity in hotels today. The Ramada Inn Congressional Plaza has 160 rooms, and has been the recipient of a number of Gold Key awards.
Upgraded rooms are available, and there is a fitness room for guests.
Nearby you will also find Bethesda Naval Hospital, the well known Jewish Community Center, and White Flint Mall is just down the road. For the convenience of hotel guests, Limousines for You has an office connected to the hotel lobby. They provide tours, limousines, and airport shuttles.
