We were on a cross-country road trip and stopped in DC to see some family that lived in a building that wouldn't allow our dog to stay. So, we had to choose a pet-friendly hotel in downtown DC (and our dog is a 70 lb. Siberian Husky). Westins around the country are usually pet-friendly, and this one was as well, although I don't think they see very many arctic breeds in the lobby! Our room was obviously one of the "pet rooms" in the hotel and had a slight dog odor and the carpet was clearly stained in several spots. Not a big deal, but the rooms were very expensive. Otherwise, the hotel had the standard Westin appointments and had a very comfortable bed.
The big drawback was the $52 mandatory valet fee... per night. This wasn't disclosed when we booked an already expensive room. Other parking options were extremely limited, especially since we checked in on a Saturday.
Overall, this hotel has a great pet policy, but I think the rooms are overpriced, especially with the valet fee that isn't disclosed until you check in.
