Across the 24 hotels listed, 6 are walkable, mostly clustered in Gallaudet University and Downtown, both built around the Navy Yard strip of bars and restaurants. Gallaudet University is the pick for fans who want to roll out of bed and be at the gates in minutes. Downtown has the largest number of hotels on offer, but fewer are an easy walk.

With the Nationals hosting Philadelphia, New York and Boston over several fixtures in 2027, the nearest rooms around Navy Yard tend to fill up fast on game nights, so sorting your base early pays off.

Map: Nationals Park and the listed hotels
Getting to Nationals Park
Navy Yard-Ballpark station, one block from the stadium on the Green Line, is the main way in and gets heavy use on game day, with the New Jersey Avenue entrance usually quieter than Half Street. Capitol South, on the Orange, Blue or Silver lines, is about a fifteen minute walk away, and Metro adds extra Green Line trains around games. Metrobus routes C11, C31 and C55 link the ballpark to Union Station and Capitol Heights. There is no single rideshare lot, so pickups happen a block or two off South Capitol Street. Official parking includes the GEICO Garage and Garage C nearest the stadium, with Lots H, M, T, U and W further out. From Reagan National Airport, the Yellow Line connects to the Green Line in around thirty minutes.
Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro station is the primary access point
The stadium is one block from Navy Yard-Ballpark station on the Green Line, which is located near the park's centre field entrance and is heavily used on game day. The station has two entrances, with Half Street being closest to the ballpark and the New Jersey Avenue entrance a short three block walk and usually less crowded.

Designated rideshare zones avoid South Capitol Street
Nationals Park does not have one single official rideshare lot, but fans are directed to pick up and drop off a block or two from the stadium rather than on South Capitol Street, which becomes heavily congested on game nights. Designated Uber pickup points have included N Street SE and New Jersey Avenue SE, L Street SE, and M Street SW and Half Street SW.

Official stadium garages and lots
Nationals Park has sanctioned parking lots and garages including the GEICO Garage and Garage C closest to the stadium, with Lots H, M, T, U and W further away and cheaper. Official lots typically open around two to three hours before first pitch and close about an hour after the game ends.

Metro may extend hours after late postseason games
For significant postseason games that risk running beyond normal closing time, WMATA has committed to flexing its operating hours so trains keep running and Navy Yard-Ballpark station stays open for about twenty minutes after the game ends. When service is extended this way, Navy Yard-Ballpark is typically the only station where new riders can enter the system.

Taxi stand and walking routes near the stadium
There is a taxicab stand on the north side of M Street SE between South Capitol and Half Streets SE for picking up cabs after a game. Many fans also simply walk to nearby Navy Yard bars and restaurants before strolling into the ballpark at first pitch.

Airport access via Metro

Both the Blue and Yellow lines run from Reagan National Airport into the city, making Metro generally the fastest and cheapest option compared with a taxi or rideshare in heavy traffic.
