RC Pentagon City: small rooms, poor service, overall effect, an upscale Holiday Inn
Forgot about these two. When do you suppose was the last time the Montreal property had a renovation? Perhaps never?
And the Pentagon City property is a total joke. I overnighted there once before an early flight out of DCA. They had placed a placard in each room that guests could fill out and hang on the door to order food packaged to go for flying, which I thought was a great idea given their proximity to DCA. So I ordered breakfast to go: a bagel with lox, fruit and OJ. They packaged everything in a separate large plastic clamshells -- one for the bagel, one for the lox, one for the onion and tomato garnish, one for the cream cheese, and one for the fruit -- and then packed everything in two large boxes; there was no way I could carry these boxes together with my carryons. And the oj was served in a glass bottle that required a bottle opener (not included) to open. The whole thing was remarkably amateurish. I'm getting angry all over again just thinking about it.
