Sadly, they are not. We have to leave our Muffin in trusted hands as well, so we understand your disappointment.

For those in the DMV area, Ruby's Collection has a good variety if you would like to peruse it in person: https://www.rubyscollection.org/.

When you book your room(s) using the link provided, you may request specific accommodations (2 Queens, King, connecting rooms, etc.) in the additional details section towards the end of the booking process. If you need more than one room, you can also book them on the hotel reservation site; just enter the number of rooms and the number of guests per room you'll need.
