Despite its convenient location in between Dupont Circle and the National Zoo/Woodley Park neighborhood, this hotel was a bit of a disappointment. The lobby and room were basic but unobjectionable. When we checked in, the a/c in our room was going full blast despite the fact that the thermostat registered 61 degrees. The promised free in-room internet failed to function throughour our two-day stay -- a fatal flaw in a hotel that doubtless attracts many convention and business travelers. The mandatory valet parking operation, which we used, was disorganized and inconvenient. One night we returned to the hotel at 11 pm to find the garage closed and the valet booth locked and dark; eventually we walked up to the front desk and were told to lock the car and leave the keys with the desk -- hardly a reassuring maneuver.. Retrieving our car at the end of the stay, we were forced to carry our (heavy) luggage down a ramp from the front door to the waiting car while the valet attendants and bell staff looked on in apparent indifference.

My family and I stayed here for 4 days during April school vacation. We were originally booked at another hotel which turned out to be an unacceptable choice. We called this Marriott as it was recommended by "Fodor, Washington." They could not have been more accomodating. Our room was clean, beds comfortable, and the buffet breakfast was delicious. Everyone on staff was pleasant and answered any questions we had.
The location, about 5 blocks up from the Dupont Circle Metro stop was quiet and chock full of great restaurants and interesting shops. A nice change after a day of touring DC.

This hotel was $140/night in July. My opinion - a wonderful deal!

The pool was very nice, and quiet!

Convenient walk to Dupont Circle, lots of restaurants/bars within walking distance

I've stayed here on two different occasions - and I cannot complain about either one. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Whenever I come to DC, I stay at this place. It is an affordable alternative to the DC Hilton if you have a convention there because it is right across the street. The staff is very, very friendly and the prices are reasonable. It is only a few blocks from the Dupont Metro station which makes it convenient. Also, there are several local eateries in the area as well as recognizable chains such as Cosi, Starbucks and Chipotle nearby. A big plus is that there is free Internet in the rooms and in the lobby. I have never had a bad experience here and I have stayed with them several times.
