Herndon, VA 20170

Room 1126

Here is information on my 2004 June 19 to 21 visit to Herndon, Virginia and the surrounding Northern Virginia sections of Fairfax County and Loudon County . During this visit I stayed at the Marriott Suites Washington Dulles, 13101 Worldgate Drive in Herndon, Virginia. The Dulles Suites Marriott is attached to the Worldgate Centre, home to many fine shops, restaurants and a cinema.

The little things mean a lot.

All of the hotel staff that I interacted with was absolutely fabulous during my stay. This includes the front desk staff that checked me in with speed, efficiency and courtesies. Thank You All.

The pool staff, who are actually employed by Palm Pools Corporation (Woodbridge, VA), provided a professional service at the same high level of Marriott Employees. The Palm Pools web site is correct when they say "... supplementing our local labor force with additional international members who have proven to be enthusiastic, courteous and diligent to their duties" and "...effective and qualified pool lifeguards dedicated to your pool facility and its members". Thank You Alexander and Nadia.

Please see my comments about housekeeping below.

Checked in this day around 12:15 p.m.
I have room 1126. Great front view with a right opening. They have a one-liter bottle of water available for consumption. The cost is $4.50. I'd rather walk 15 feet to the soda machine and buy a 20 ounce bottle of soda for $1.50 (same price in 2002). Or drink free water from the spigot. I actually purchased 2 bottles of water from the 7-11 for $2.00
Web TV keyboard is available.
Local Calls still $1.00
A good selection of cable TV is available. The do not have News Channel 8 from the local cable company.
The cotton swabs, q-tips, and sewing kit are here. They also have Neutrogena shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.
The toilet is broken. At first it wouldn't flush and I had to play with the float device to finally get it to move and start the water. Then it would periodically flush to refill water the "leaked" out of the holder.

Sadly Dunn's Toy and Hobby has closed. It is no longer in business at the Worldgate Center. The store is vacant. I enjoyed shopping at this store many times. Even just looking around while window shopping.

2004 Sunday June 20 to Monday June 21 early a.m. --

Started my boycott of the Chutzpah Deli at about 9:10 a.m. I was treated rudely when I entered the store after the opening time of 9 a.m. but before the lights were turned on. I asked if they were open, I was told, "no we're closed that's why the lights are off". I asked then why is the door unlocked to which he replied, "good question".

I decided to boycott the store and continued the boycott until the Sunday morning of May 29, 2005 when I decided to go to Chutzpah for breakfast.

2004 Monday June 21

Housekeeping had a major failure during this stay. The room was almost perfect when I checked in. I say almost because there is a big problem vacuuming behind furniture. I notice this when moving the clock radio and I see dust and the torn part of a peanut bag behind the end table. This is somewhat acceptable, but the big problem I had was with the service during my full day in this room.

The first night I used the glasses provided on the wet bar in the room for a drink of Coke® that I purchased at the 7-11®. The following evening I retrieved a glass for another drink. Both glasses were covered with a paper cover to keep dust out. The first glass had two small black spots on the side. The second glass had dried cola on the bottom of the glass. A round brown ring at the bottom that was still sticky. Was this the same glass I had the night before? Was it only rinsed out real fast leaving the cola on the bottom? This is not acceptable on any level.
