The price that I was quoted was including food. I meant to ask if you're able to pay with points for the food too
No only the room can be booked through a 3rd party not food. Also not sure if they have availability on a 3rd party usually they block everything in the busy session and only let bookings through there own website.

No
-1. I just priced out the king suite (2 adults, 1 child) for 275 per night sun-Thurs and $325 per night Fri-Sat. Not including food but I don't see 4500 for a week without food.

No
Which room did you price out?
4500 sounds like a mistake

That price was including food. Without food was less than half that amount

Any ideas for a couple and 5 month old baby for a 3 day getaway at the end of august. It can be a short flight or up to a 5 hour drive. We have UR points and a free Marriot night.
Must have a minyan, and kosher food a plus.
TIA

With Congress on recess, and the chance of getting into the WH practically impossible, I don't understand why its an Aug destination.

Aside from sitting in the gallery, barely anything in DC is dependendent on congress being in session. You can still tour the capitol, Supreme Court, monuments, and do Smithsonian.

looking for some advice

as of now planning on spending Monday-Thursday/Friday in Iceland and would like to continue on to another destination for Shabbos & the following few days
looking for a place near by, ideally 3-5hr flight

preferably a place which has a kosher food (restaurants :P) or at the very least an established Chabbad nearby that has Shabbos meals.

The obvious choice would be London. already covered it for the most part so looking to go elsewhere. 

thinking Scotland/Ireland or Copenhagen?
