Hello, my name is patty from sunny southern california. i will be traveling to washington d.c. in july to attend a conference at the Convention Center. I have registered to stay at the DC Lofty hostel. Can anyone give me any feedback regarding this hostel? Is it within walking distance to the Washington Convention Center? also, i will be traveling by bus, and will be taking the greyhound. can i get a local bus outside the greyhound bus terminal to the hostel? can i get a local bus outside the convention center to the greyhound depot, since i will be leaving from there versus the hostel? i really need as much info as possible, and i sure appreciate any and all of your feedback, and your kindness. thank you
