I have recently stayed in the Metro Marriott in downtown Washington DC for a conference.

1) It was a room-block for conference goers and so we got a deal. I know that according to the back of the door, the room goes for $389 nightly.

2) For paying the lesser rate I did, the room was really spectacular. For $389? I can't say a place to lie your head is really worth that much.

3) The Service and Hospitality was superb, everyone was thoroughly polite and very knowledgable.

4) Facilities and Conveniences - I didn't get a chance to check out the pool and hot tub (much to my dismay) So, I can't rate. They did have a Starbucks in the lobby -- that made my day. I'm a junkie! Also the proximity to the Metro was really spiffy. You just had to walk out the door and there was the escalator to the Metro which went everywhere you could want to go. For someone like me who isn't familiar with subways or metros or anything -- it was intimidating, but everyone in the stations were so darn nice that even when I was lost, I was found.

5) The room was huge. It really allowed you to stretch your legs. The room I had was apparently just a "basic" room and had two queen size beds, a wing-back chair with a little table beside it. It had a desk with high-speed internet, an armoire with large TV and bureau for your clothes. It had a hotel-sized closet with plenty of hangers (don't ask me, I never have enough hangers!) The bathroom was divine though. It was big enough to not bump into friends if you happened to have them there at the same time! It had a regular-sized shower/tub combo, but the showerhead was one of those really big sunflower-sized ones that I actually came home and bought one for my house.

Marriott says as many as 500 million people may have had personal information stolen in data breach. The hotel chain said it learned Nov. 19 of an attack on the the Starwood guest reservation database. The breach lasted as long as four years, Marriott said. Ref. USAToday.

That could mean a lot of personal and CC information could have been used all this time with no one aware of it. Time for lawsuits?
