Staycation in the City

So this past Saturday, my Hubbs and I decided to go into the city to unwind.  We ended up staying at the W  (http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/property/photos/index.html?propertyID=3279&language=en_US) which was nice but not as impressive.  Our room did have an amazing view of Washington DC , but it was small and had a weird all glass bathroom.  One of the biggest dislikes about W hotels for me is that the decor of the hallways is so dark.  It feels as if you are in a dungeon.  The biggest disappointment, however, was the Rooftop POV bar.  Perhaps I am just too old for crowded and pretentious places with poor liquor selection.  but how can a bar not have Stoli!!!!  Anyhoo, here is the list of rants and raves after our staycation:

Raves:  Cop-bartender at Tony and Joe's, Georgetown Waterfront, fillet at Bistro La Bonne (http://www.bistrolabonne.com/), the W hotel bed, view of our nation's capital from the W Hotel, oysters and burgers from Old Ebbitt Grill (http://www.ebbitt.com/main/home.cfm?Section=Main&Category=About_the_Ebbitt) with a side of sarcasm from Nicole the bartender :)

Rants: glass bathrooms at the W hotel, POV at the W, $50/day valet parking for guests at the W, getting asked to show the hotel room key (didn't think I looked like an escort, not sure whether or not to take it as a compliment), 2+ inch platforms that are worn by ladies that don't know how to walk in them, No Stoli!!!!

All in all it was a nice escape from the suburbs.  Now back to reality, but I am very excited about tomorrow.  I am supposed to receive my kit from my new obsession:  www.oxana.dolcemia.com  I love love love their products.  The scents are heavenly and the quality is outstanding.  Updates and photos are to come!

Please share and care,
