Do this, not That...

I feel compelled to give you some advice based on my experience, a little "do this, not that."

If you are going to visit the W Hotel in DC, which I DO NOT recommend personally, take some advice from me, don't put up with pretentious bullshit from the staff of the Hotel.  I have been there many times and I find the staff of the Hotel to be very unpleasant.  Hey, this isn't New York! 

Here are the "dos" for the W Hotel in DC.  For the view, visit POV, if you must.  Some of the most arrogant staff at the W works upstairs, so check out the view and take your party to the J&G downstairs.  The view is the street, but the service, drinks and food are much better. 

I took a group of "rollers" to the W for dinner and drinks and became totally frustrated by the Hotel staff's treatment that we left POV within 30 minutes.  By luck we ended up stopping in at the J&G in the basement bar (actually on street level) and had a great time with great food.  We our service was provided by Jean Gorges' daughter!  The J&G save the W experience.

So, DO skip POV and brush off the nasty W staff and DON'T miss J&G and the Steakhouse.
