I'm attending a conference in Washington in June and am shopping for a hotel. The conference is at the Marriott Wardman Park. I'm bringing my Fiancee. She has never been to DC and wants to see the monuments.

I want to make it as easy as possible for her to get to the monuments and museums while I'm attending the conference. It appears to be 3 -4 blocks to the subway and a 7 min ride to the Marriott Wardman from the W.

I prefer SPG hotels over Marriott and the W looks great with its location and the rooftop bar. The W rate is about $100 per night higher than the Marriott, so I will pay the difference out of pocket, with my company reimbursing only the Marriott rate.

I've seen mention of Acura service in this thread. Can anyone tell me how this works. Can I use it daily Wed - Fri to get to my conference? I can ride subway back if necessary.

Any other advice about staying at the W?
