MarkS Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 We stay weekly at the Westin in Tysons so we accumulate and use lots of Bonvoy points. The Convention Center Marriott Marquis blew us away for the size and breadth of their gym. 2 floors of equipment, larger then many gyms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually all rooms were renovated last year. Much better then the Sheraton we previously stayed in. When it's 2 nights a week, 45+ weeks a year, out of my pocket the Ritz isnt happening.

The Ritz has also been renovated (still cheesy though), and I am amazed they continue to command a premium rate in Tysons. Bonvoy has been so frustrating I've all but stopped using them. Am LT Plat, Ambassador since the program was unpublished (legacy starwood obv). Sad to see such dilution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 This was probably the best Westin we stayed at in El Ciego, Rioja, Spain. https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/biolc-hotel-marques-de-riscal-a-luxury-collection-hotel-elciego/ Designed by Frank Gheery, stunning!

We had dinner with Andy Hayler at Kinship, and afterward, walked him back to the Marriott Marquis. He said he was "forever away" from the elevator (it was the same with us in the Grand Hyatt - if you stay on the north side, you're right above the entrance, and directly opposite the elevator bank, and need to walk halfway around the hotel).

DanielK Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This is where we had our wedding block (and stayed ourselves for the weekend) 2+ years ago. The Marquis Lounge, if you have a room on that level or have enough Marriott status to gain access, is fantastic, and provided a great view for July 4th fireworks!
