Yeah, just about every week, started this hotel in Jan 2016. I've been here before Jan 2016 but mostly this one specifically since then.
I did have to stay at he JW a few times and the Key Bridge as well in that time frame.
Stayed at Ren Dupont Circle for 16 months (sort of across the street). JW on and off about 1 yr. Key Bridge about 20 times. Marriott Marquis about 30 times.
Been based out of D.C. hotels since about Dec 2009. Give or take a break now and then.
FYI, I do go home most weekends.
Do you check out of the room? Do they store your stuff or give you any extras? I know someone who lived 7 days a week in the Georgetown Marriott for three months in late 2016 and early 2017, but the most they gave him was a microwave and bigger mini-fridge in his room. He didn't even get a complimentary glass of wine every now and again for three straight months of business.
The Key Bridge Marriott rates are low enough that one could live in the hotel for less than renting an apartment in D.C., at least when you consider what furniture, lawn maintenance, rent, food, TV and internet subscriptions, and so forth would cost every month. By my back of the envelope math, it would be about $250-300 cheaper per month.
