Nice. My familiarity with the stalker genre was insufficient to generate that level of detail. And I actually considered using the word "people" to end the first line. Scary.

Wait, aren't these the same?
Yes, but other, more refined, cities have more than one Joie de Vivre hotel to choose from.

Whenever I pay, I stay in Joie de Vivre or Kimpton's near downtown or Dupont - I never stay as far as Georgetown let alone outside the District. I usually book through Hotels.com based on best available price for those hotels.
When work pays, I stay where the conference is being held, usually the Westin or Marriott/Omni. So in two weeks I'm staying at the Westin and The Palomar.
I also like the Liaison, George, Rogue, Topaz, and Donovan. I have not stayed at the Madera, Monaco or Carlyle yet.
*Rouge
Had a nice stay at the Rouge. Was convenient to the Tabard for drinks, and to Le Dip for dinner. What a night.
Enjoyed the W as well.
Don't like that at the Marriott Marquis they said: "welcome back," and greeted me and my friend as "Mr. and Mrs. [Challenged]." Was trying to avoid my current friend knowing that I had taken a previous friend there…

This 1000 times. The new Mrs just rolls with it now, but yep, has happened more than once and more than just at Marriott's.
And thank you for the correction on Rouge - got Star Wars on my mind.
