You're right though that Old Town is way more interesting than CC.
Not much,
- Avoid renting a car (Metro or Uber in that order, I don't mind walking if its outside of 1100-1900 local time when I expect the sun/humidity will be high)
- Get to the property from Georgetown and to DCA the next day
- A quiet comfortable place to work on Monday through 4 pm - multiple online calls/meetings.
- Breakfast
- Some convenient, quick place nearby to grab lunch
- Redeem points
Given the earlier comments about the Sheraton Old Town suites having forced air leading to poor air conditioning, that definitely dings the choice given I'll be working for several hours on Monday.
I will likely cancel my Sheraton Old Town Suites booking in favor of the Westin Crystal City.
