I find it weird that we specifically asked about the views and were told at the DVC walk through that all rooms faced DCA. Hmmm, maybe we didn't look like the type to book the nicest suite

We were told that there would be a viewing deck for WOC if a room didn't have a good view for that. It will be fun to see what unfolds as they open I love new things.

Since I'm only on the second floor, I cannot see over it. Not the greatest, but the rooms are great inside. There is a members welcome reception this evening. I'll try to report. Back tonight on how it went.
