don't stay here
I have been to other W properties and stay at the W in Miami all the time. the staff there are amazing and the manager (Dennis) is the best! 
However the W in DC I cannot even believe it's owned by the the same group. Th staff is so unfriendly beyond rude! the place looks cheap. the only thing positive is the roof top bar and BEWARE: Oh my they are abusive. there are lines. They I.D. some and not others. RUDE. believe me its not worth it. nothing that great to see better off walking around and seeing the sights or staying at another hotel. there are so many great hotels by the white house where you get treated amazing. I stayed at the Hay adams -top notch with a great bar called "off the record at least your not getting pushed around there, standing in lines, and having security pick and choose who they harass. also another great place to stay is in georgetown four seasons is great... ritz carlton.. georgetown inn. and as I mentioned hay adams by white house. stay away from the W. I travel all the time. believe me the staff is RUDE and security to get to the rooftop are racist. they will pick and choose. who needs it.. It will ruin your vacation.
