You may be right. But, other chains actually say that in order to get benefits you must book through them.
Marriott says that you can book with a wholeseller, as long as you attach your membership info to the reservation.
In regards to the hotel itself, I did a little digging through FT and noticed that no one finds this to be their favorite DC property. I now see why?
Another little thing that I noticed while at the hotel. They changed GM's (as I emailed the old one before my stay) and replaced the first page of the hotel info book. However, they did not bother to change the lounge opening hours from 5:00 to 5:30 PM. There must be some total breakdown at this hotel!
