By the way, the rooms at the Embassy Suites Crystal City were 400 dollars a piece! The guy at the desk told us he could give us points. I say full refund!!

Amtrak is everything that is wrong with government public transportation.

If Judy paid by CC, she should cancel the charge immediately and explain in writing why. Anything less than a full reimbursement is unsatisfactory. Same advice for you and the rooms.

Just wondering is it just bad luck, or what?

I think it's just crumbling American infrastructure.

I wouldn’t rule out that neither the railcar nor the the hotel was equipped to deal with the weather. I managed a private railcar for a while and it couldn’t handle the cold when simply driving over mountains.

Once is happenstance.

Twice is coincidence.

Thrice is enemy action.

No heat in DC, no heat in trains to DC, makes perfect sense.

It is the home of the Cold-Blooded Reptilians.

BTW, I saw at least one official inaugural invitation that makes no mention of DC... instead it refers to “Washington City”

Those entities are not used to dealing with really cold environments. You were the victim of that.

What do you expect? The “help” in D.C. are urban low lifes. And do you know anything about Amtrak? It is run by the US government with the same union urban low lifes.

It’s been an unusual cold snap. I’m not surprised heaters are giving out.

I love staying in Crystal City when I visit DC. I prefer the Hampton Inn. Half the cost and a really decent breakfast included. Also, the underground shops are easily accessible and the Metro is a 5 minute walk. I always use the subway when I’m in town. 23rd Street has amazing restaurants, my favorite being La Bettola Italian. Great location.

Trump single-handedly ended global warming.

Sounds like THE RESISTANCE has begun. Obviously The Resistance knows why you were going to DC and why you were staying in that hotel. So they responded as expected of them.
