Our flight from Dulles Airport to Harrisburg was cancelled due to weather and United was not able to reschedule us for 2 days. I called the 800 number on the room voucher and it went to an automated reservation system offering me a room at the Sheraton Reston for $70. As it was already past 11pm and my daughter and I had flown in from LA at 9am I just went for it.
They offered free shuttle service which took us awhile to locate and for the shuttle to arrive most of which was due to United's automated system voice being somewhat difficult to understand.
We arrived at the hotel close to midnight with a shuttle bus load of people. The hotel staff was minimal not expecting a large number of check ins at such a late hour yet they handled the volume quickly, efficiently and polity. They provided any needed toiletry items such as tooth paste and tooth brushes, complementary Wi-Fi, coffee, tea and juices or sodas free of charge from the lobby quick shop and got us all rooms.
The room was very nice, clean and well maintained. Wide screen TV and comfortable beds. The restaurant was not open at such a late hour but the bar tender kept the bar open serving what she could to anyone in need of a meal or drink. As it was now after midnight it was officially my birthday (December 27) and our wonderful bar tender bought me both a glass of Guinness and shot of Irish whiskey.
The Sheraton Reston has shuttle service to and from locale businesses that runs every half hour. Also to and from Dulles. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. My daughter and I found things to do at the Reston Town Center which has a nice ice skating rink, shops and restaurants. All and all what could have been a very bad experience was made into a very unexpected positive vacation addition. I most defiantly give the hotel and its staff an A+ in all aspects.
