Anyone stay at the Ritz-Carleton in D.C.? I’ve never stayed at a Ritz location so I’m curious to hear what to expect. Will be in D.C. for a conference so my firm is covering the trip.

Kinda dingy/dated but it’s still the Ritz. Not their best though

Where’s your conference? If at Convention Center, go with Marriott Marquis.
