A - I had my hotel reservations before ever hearing about the DO, since I have a conference to attend, with events for that conference going on at Wardman Park;

B - Wardman Park puts me in true suites 80% of my stays there;

and

C - I have stayed at the Renaissance M Street, Dupont Circle, and I am not a fan of the rooms, most of them are small.

So, I would say the people who matter are staying at Wardman Park! LOL
