Judging by the picture, it is hard to tell that this is a ten minute walk from the Rosslyn Metro Station. Apparently there is not much else in the area so you may be glad of the train into Washington DC.

Call me crazy (many do) but I m not a big fan of sleeping on beds where who knows who else laid their head and did who knows what. Don t you just love the depictions of those modern cars parked in the lot? Reply Delete Replies VioletSky August 3, 2013 at 11:47 AM

We didn t do much travelling when I was young - at least not overnight. And later we had a trailer (caravan). But these do look fancier than anything us travel warnings I remember.

Thanks for your nice thoughts of me in the comment you posted for my PFF entry. I was indeed dead tired but I am happy I pulled it off :) I wonder if you have a postcard with an old Holiday Inn hotel? I worked for the Intercontinental hotels group for three years and I d be very happy to see how their old hotels looked like. Wish you a great week ahead! :) Reply Delete Replies VioletSky August 4, 2013 at 11:10 AM
