NYSUT sends educators and staff to Washington, DC regularly for advocacy events, AFT conferences, and legislative lobbying on Capitol Hill. The Wyndham Garden Washington DC Area sits in Cheverly, Maryland, just outside the District, where nightly rates run significantly lower than downtown hotels. Corporate code 1000007844 drops those rates further, which matters when you are stretching a union travel budget or covering costs out of pocket.
The Property
The hotel is located at 5811 Annapolis Rd in Cheverly, MD, a quiet residential suburb about 8 miles east of the National Mall. It sits near the junction of Route 50 and the Capital Beltway, giving you a direct drive into DC or out to Baltimore. The Cheverly Metro station on the Orange Line is roughly 2 miles away, making car-free trips into the city possible with a short rideshare.
Wyndham Garden properties at this tier typically offer standard king and double queen rooms in the 300 to 350 square foot range, with a work desk, ergonomic chair, and free Wi-Fi. Suites with a separate sitting area are sometimes available for longer stays or when you need space to prep meeting materials. Rooms are functional rather than luxurious, which is reflected in the hotel's 3.7 rating across 1,705 reviews, so set expectations for a clean, mid-range business hotel.
The property includes a fitness center, outdoor seasonal pool, and on-site restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. Free parking is a real perk here, since garage fees in downtown DC can easily add $40 to $60 per night. Some Wyndham Garden locations in this tier offer a complimentary hot breakfast, so confirm availability when you book because that alone can save $15 a day.
The hotel is about a 20-minute drive from Reagan National Airport (DCA) and roughly the same from downtown DC depending on traffic. Several fast-casual and sit-down restaurants cluster along Annapolis Road and nearby Landover, including a Chick-fil-A, IHOP, and local Caribbean spots. For groceries or pharmacy runs, a Shoppers Food and a CVS are within a few minutes by car.
Your Savings Breakdown
| Rate Tier | Rack Rate | Corporate Rate | Points Earned | Point Value | Net Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $170 | $145 | 1,450 pts | $7.25 | $137.75 | $32.25 |
| Superior | $280 | $238 | 2,380 pts | $11.90 | $226.10 | $53.90 |
| Premium | $450 | $383 | 3,830 pts | $19.15 | $363.85 | $86.15 |
A typical night here might list at $280 rack rate, but entering corporate code 1000007844 at checkout drops that to around $238, a $42 discount before you factor in rewards. You will earn roughly 2,380 Wyndham Rewards points on that stay, worth about $11.90 at standard redemption value, which brings your effective net cost down to $226.10. That is $53.90 back in your pocket on a single night, and multi-night stays make the math even more compelling.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold Wyndham Rewards Gold, Platinum, or Diamond status, those elite perks apply on top of the corporate rate. That can mean bonus point multipliers (up to 3x for Diamond members), room upgrades when available, and late checkout. Even Gold status, which you can earn after 5 qualifying nights, adds a 10% bonus on base points earned.
The Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus card from Barclays earns 5x points per dollar on Wyndham stays, stacking directly with the 10 points per dollar you already earn as a member. That means a $238 night could generate over 3,500 total points. The card also gives you automatic Gold status, which adds the 10% bonus on top of everything.
Book during Wyndham's periodic promotions, which often offer 1,000 to 3,000 bonus points per stay or double points on consecutive nights. Midweek stays in the DC suburbs tend to price lower than weekends around major events, so if your travel dates have any flexibility, shifting by a day or two can compound savings with the corporate discount.
Bottom Line: Depending on the season and room type, NYSUT members using code 1000007844 at this property can expect to save between $32.25 and $86.15 per night when you combine the corporate discount with the value of earned Wyndham Rewards points. The Wyndham Garden Washington DC Area is not a glamorous downtown address, but it is a practical, affordable base with free parking and easy access to Capitol Hill for advocacy work. For union members watching every dollar of their travel spend, that trade-off makes a lot of sense.
