The Topic of the Day continued...
I also remember staying at the Omni Shoreham in Washington, DC, for a weekend. I had a weekend gig in DC and the Omni happened to be offering one of their crazy good weekend package deals, so...
The Omni Shoreham is one of DC's classic grand hotels, and the rooms are grand as well. -Well, they recently remodeled and slicked up the place a bit, so they may not be as grand now, but, I digress... The room was HUGE! Three large windows overlooking Rock Creek Park - adorned with gold draperies. Two king beds - it just happened to be the room that was available when I checked in - so the bedroom area was also quite large. A full sitting area that was basically like a living room, and a bathroom with a shower and a tub and lots(!) of towels and a phone and TV! I still remember trying to call some friends to come over to help me enjoy the room - not
that kind of enjoying DR elmore - with me but no one was available that weekend. I even splurged on a room service breakfast the day of my departure since it felt like the right thing to do.

This was about 15 years ago - maybe 16 or 17 years now that I'm doing the math - and I was able to enjoy all that grandness - and space! - for just $54/night!!!! A true bargain even then.
*And I also liked my rooms at the Omni Berkshire Place here in NYC.
