Average $119 hotel with little charm
No Spg Platinum upgrade at check in. Outside room was fine and somewhat spacious. Thankfully the rooms have been updated. The lobby needs to be gutted. The front desk is stuffed in a corner and understaffed during busy periods. Would we stay here again? Not if any of the other Starwood properties were offering deals. There just wasn't anything that stood out or impressed us. Our friends were staying at the Washington Hilton next to the St. Regis. They had a nicer room for $110. The St Regis was almost $300 when I checked, but in hind sight that might have been a fun splurge...and I have never had a St Regis quibble with me about suite upgrades. So I got another check-in for the year...
