I meant from Silver Spring Metro to the hotel.
I take luggage on the Metro regularly. It's a PITA during rush
hour, but doable. Key to the Metro are local manners: stay to the
right on the escalators, and when the train stop at your platform,
stand to the side of the doors to allow people to exit.
Also note: there are three airports in the region. Washington
National (DCA) has direct Metro service. BWI has weekday MARC-train
service <http://www.mtamaryland.com/> with a free shuttle bus
to same. Dulles (IAD) is way off to the west, with limited public
transport, but there are limo-buses to the Metro & downntown.
There's no rational reason to rent a car and risk your sanity
driving.
