I was there on this past weekend for one night 11/24-25. I made the stay to get the 5 brands in for a free night. I paid the same rate CMK10 had, and I was upgraded to a king on the 15th floor as a globalist. They gave me a printed coupon for breakfast which included tip (was not stated on coupon but wait staff in hotel confirmed it). I had a car, but I decided to leave it in a Crystal City Shops parking garage since parking is free there on weekends while it costs $25 at this hotel. I took the Metro in from the Crystal City station. It was 4 stops to the Rosslyn Metro station and cost $2.05.

From the floor layout, it seemed a lot of the suite rooms were located next to one elevator and across from the other two in the main area for the elevators. I found that a bit odd. The gym on the third floor is where one of those suites would be located on other floors. This made the gym rather small, and there are a lot less strength training equipment due to the smaller gym space.

Breakfast reminded me of the buffet at Hyatt Fairfax Fair Lakes except they had a few more pastries and no bread rolls. There is no smoked salmon, and I heard a waiter tell another guest that the full buffet is $19. This is almost as much as the buffet at the Hyatt Dulles ($20) which has smoked salmon, chicken, and extra hot items.

They had a lot of newspapers next to the front desk. I asked them to deliver a WSJ to my room, but they didn’t do it. I ended up taking it and a Washington Post before checking out.
