I had a relative staying at a Courtyard by Marriott in Arlington and I went to pick him up and BEFORE I walked by the front desk I was stopped by Security and told that if I was not staying in the Hotel I needed to check in with the front desk....WTF? I told them how and why and they called the room and asked if I would wait outside for my guest....WTF? This is a big change....looks like Motel 6 will have a resurgence in the Hobby.
