My venue has a bridal suite but I plan to only use it for a freshening up/holding room when I arrive and to use for when I change into my reception dress. Otherwise, the suite is not that big to use for getting ready. So I am looking for a room that I can use to get ready in and then convert to my wedding night suite. My house is too far away to get ready there.
Since my venue is near the Harbor it would make sense to stay at one of the hotels at National Harbor but while I love the Harbor I am not sure I love the hotels there. Anyone staying at a National Harbor hotel or has already stayed there to tell me if the price per night that I am seeing is worth it?
If I don't stay at the Harbor I am thinking to stay in Old Town Alexandria or in DC. There are several chic/trendy hotels that I like and would be willing to pay a few dollars for.
Any recs for these two areas? Right now the Lorien Spa and Park Hyatt hotels are on the top of my list.
TIA
