Which Sheraton or Marriott Near DCA???
Brad DeLong discovers that hotel names can be confusing even within the same brand.- The Crystal Gateway Marriott is not the Crystal City Marriott. The Crystal City Marriott is not the Crystal Gateway Marriott.
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).
