What is the gym like at the Fairfax? Do they have weights and items other than treadmills? I'm here for business so I mainly care about gym, the room for when I'm working in the evenings, and where I can walk to for grabbing dinner (or the hotel restaurant if its any good).
Did you read my review above? The gym is small compared to either Westin Workout. The Fairfax is located on Dupont Circle, so there are plenty of restaurants withing a 5 minute walking radius of the hotel. The Fairfax is a 10 min walk (at most) from the Westin Grand. So from M Street to Dupont Circle you have plenty of choices.
