We now have a couple of new maps available to you on the site.

The first one is the interactive attractions map.

We have compiled some of the most popular and our favorite places to see, eat, and visit in the Baltimore/Washington area. You can visually see where the memorials and museums are, relative to each other. Visitors and conventioneers will be able to use it as a tool to help them plan their excursions to area attractions. Entries are being added all the time, so stay tuned.

The second one is the “getting around town” interactive map from the DC metro. With this one you can see where the nearest metro stop is to the attraction that you are looking to visit while you are in town.

We also suggest you check out the “Down Town Silver Spring” website for other items in the immediate area. http://www.silverspringdowntown.com/dining (http://www.silverspringdowntown.com/dining)
With this link you can see how many items are within a short distance of the hotel.

All of these are on the ccadoesaca.com web site under the heading “while you’re here”.
