Anyone else think that this SC location is one of the system's strongest in hard product?
When it's not crowded, yes. When Congress is in session and everyone is flying home for the weekend, Friday PM totally sucks.
It is nice...and the views can be nice, but as I've lived near DCA all my life, unless it's a pretty sunrise, I don't notice. I'd prefer somewhere that has some better plane watching like JFK, or even MCO for that matter.
MCO used to be much nicer before they walled off the whole back of it...which was when, right before the merger? Made no sense...add all those people and take away 1/3 of the space. The views were nice over along the now walled-off section.
For atmosphere I prefer MEM or DTW. Bar variety JFK. Intimacy and service, SFO. MCO is good too, and DCA is home.
