Memo to Self

The Crystal Gateway Marriott is not the Crystal City Marriott. The Crystal City Marriott is not the Crystal Gateway Marriott.

That is all.

I once got off the metro at Pentagon City & grandly presented my leftover metro ticket to a panhandler--only then to discover that Pentagon City is not the same as Pentagon.

(No, I did not ask him to give it back)

You can walk from Reagan National Airport to some of the Crystal City hotels... but it isn't easy to find a way across the GW Parkway!

The Sheraton National is not the closest Sheraton to National Airport.

Until recently there was a hotel called Sheraton Pentagon South -- which was not the closest Sheraton to the Pentagon. (That honor belongs to the Sheraton National.)

So if you're looking for a Starwood property near National Airport you book the Sheraton Crystal City and if you want one near the Pentago you book the Sheraton National.

And if you want a Sheraton in the Nation's Capital you can't, because there is no Sheraton in the District of Columbia (except for the "Four Points by Sheraton" .. which is not a Sheraton).

Brad - you're in DC? Would love to buy you a beer.

What you need is a Crystal Ball Marriott.

There are so many hotels here even the cab and limo drivers get confused. I took one of those buses from DCA and the first person getting off had instructed the driver to go to a Sheraton, and he went to Rosslyn only to find out that he should have gone to Crystal City. So we had to backtrack through that concrete maze.
