Which is a better choice for a Platinum?

Given that it will be Thursday to Sunday--will either have a lounge open throughout the weekend?

I prefer Ren DuPont out of those two.

I believe the latest intel is that no Washington D.C. area Marriotts regularly have a weekend lounge. I learned through Flyertalk that the JW Marriott, the previous lone wolf with a weekend lounge, doesn't keep theirs open anymore.
