Not worth the money
We stayed at the Four Points in DC while attending a show at the Washington Convention Center. On arrival, check in was very easy. Since I'm a gold member, I'm entitled to free room upgrades so I asked the clerk if I had received an upgrade. He said yes, that we were upgraded to a very nice corner room. When we arrived in our room, I then realized that if this was an upgrade, we should be very thankful we didn't get a regular room. The room was in dire need of an upgrade. It was very old a tired looking. They had needed to get power to the TV on the dresser so they ran a power cord under the carpet to the other wall. You stepped on this annoying little bump every time you walked in the room or into the bathroom. The bathroom tub was old and stained. The shower plumbing was not anchored in the wall so every time you had to touch the shower head, the entire pipe moved so you needed two hands. The bathroom was very small for a "corner" room. The beds were uncomfortable, which is quite different than many of the other Sheraton hotels I've patronized. The A/C unit on the wall was one of the loudest I've ever heard. It woke us up throughout the night whenever it turned on. The front desk said that's just how they work. Additionally, the walls were paper thin. Hallway noise, phone conversations in the next room and traffic outside was all too loud. The hotel itself was clean and the lobby area was nice. We didn't eat in the restaurant so I can speak to that. The staff was friendly and helpful, except I know the clerk at check in was feeding me a line about being upgraded since we had the same type of room (2 dbl beds). The conference rate for this hotel was $219 and now that I've stayed there, I can say that is exorbitant. I've stayed in Hamptons/Fairfields that were nicer and paid about $130-150 a night. The bottom line is that this is a very basic hotel in need of renovations and is not worth the price being charged.
