The OP is right, there are many hotels here, I live here! If he can, I would switch to the Westfields Marriott, but that's expensive. Otherwise, I would see how many nights he is staying after he reaches platinum. I might switch to the Crowne Plaza, because Priority Club has many good promos, see the board and Intercontinentals are nice and you can use points there. But, with the Hyatt program where you can get Diamond really quickly is good, the Hyatt Regency Reston is fantastic by the way. Don't mess with Hilton. The Westin Reston is a good hotel, but how many points are you going to get and what status? So, it is stay with Marriott, earn many points with Crowne Plaza, get status with Hyatt, and get a very nice hotel at Westin. Decisions, decisions.
