Doin' it right

I was very impressed with the Hilton Washington Dulles Airport in Herndon, Virginia. After my last trip to Virginia I was a little concerned because my hotel at that time was, well - it was simply awful.

I think I have finally found my home-away-from-home when I travel to this area. (I guess that opening my mind to an alternate hotel chain was a smart thing to do after all!)

Anyway, this hotel had everything I look for in a hotel - well, except maybe a complimentary mini-bar. But, hey - you can't always get what you want.

My room was spacious and very nice. But, before you arrive you should know something.

The rooms are about six and a half miles from the lobby.

It's true - the hotel is a really big circle. My room was on the far side of the circle, which meant there was nothing quick about getting to my room from the elevator. The good thing about it though is that you can't get lost. So, if you drink too much you'll just keep going around in circles until you finally find your room. Convenient.
