I have a very sweet boyfriend. After weeks of trying to make plans for the first weekend in August with him he admits a secret. "I got us tickets to Dave Matthews Band in concert that weekend." So that's why we couldn't go away. The concert is at least an hour drive from us so I decided that it's a perfect excuse to stay at the Aloft Hotel by Dulles Airport which is 10 minute drive from the concert venue. This will be my first "staycation" so I'm excited about that as well.
The Aloft Hotels are part of the Starwood Hotel chain and all though the hotels are budget friendly it packs a lot of punch. The bathrooms are outfitted with Bliss Spa products just like its sister properties, but the hotels have a funkier vibe. I know at the concert I will be rocking out to all of the bands old and new tunes, so I'm looking forward to a short jaunt to continue the happy vibe in the Remix Lounge.
At the end of the night I look forward to crashing into the bed after a happy day with Dave and the Band. If the hotel only sold Dave's Blenheim Vineyard Wines then I would really be heaven.
I stayed in Aloft this winter when my town had a HUGE power outage. It was great. I agree with Shana, I was super happy to see the bliss products!

I JUST stayed at Aloft at the National Harbor this past weekend and it was all you say that it is and more. I was so excited to see the Bliss Products, especially the little dispenser in that awesome shower. Of course I now need a dispenser like that in my bathroom. :-)
