I can not say enough good things about this hotel! Everybody was extremely friendly, the hotel was clean and the room was great! Along with the price of the room we did receive a buffet breakfast. The food was really good and was well worth it for us and our 3 children! The location was also was perfect! We took the Old Time Trolley tour which picked us up right outside of our hotel and took us to every spot we needed to see! I highly recommend this hotel for your next family vacation!!

Returned for a 2nd stay at the Washington Marriot. Really enjoyed my stay. Room very nice and clean and tidy. The bed was very comfy. The views from the windows are not brilliant, but then I never booked for the views. Staff very helpful and friendly - nothing too much bother for them. Enjoy the cookies and juice in the evening at reception - very popular. The metro at Foggy Bottom is 5 minutes away and ideal for your stay at the Marriott.

Celebrated the 4th in DC. The stay was Ok, staff seemed overwhelmed due to the holiday and amount of guess. Was not assisted with my luggage. Other folks did receive assistance to their room. Room was nice (all marriotts rooms are nice). Allowed to have 4 guest to a (1 king bed only) room. Oh we slept very cozy. No rollaway bed offered. Did ask for a double but hotel did not have any db rooms when I arrived. When booking directly with Marriott, asked for early check in and extra towels, did not get either. Had to call service to ask for towels. I also asked if anyone had cancel (during my stay) a reservation to get a db room, was told would call back, never receive a call during my stay. After returning home, I realize I should have received a $25 gas card, did not receive one. Staff were a bit rushing at check out time. Pool staff (night shift) were WONDERFUL.. I did call the hotel and spoke with John (manager) who was wonderful and agreed to mail the gas card. Let's see if I recieve the card. I do hope non-Marriott Rewards member did not get treated worst than my family.

After a lot of searching, this hotel was the most reasonably priced one I found in the May peak convention season. I arrived Dulles around 2pm and did not get to the hotel at 4pm, so was grateful for the free lemonade at reception. I also bought a couple of drinks at the Starbucks shop in reception, which is handy.

My room has a king sized bed and although it was not a large room, it was perfectly adequate for me. It had a 32" flat screen television which is always nice to wake up to. There was a minibar with sensors which I did not open, but there is an ice machine and a drinks machine on every corridor, and an ice bucket in the room.

The bed was incredibly comfortable and the airconditioner was relatively quiet. I ordered room service breakfast once but was not impressed with the dry bagel and congealing scrambled eggs, especially as my bill was $20 in the end. After I was joined by a friend we ended up having the buffet breakfast every morning, which was good with a decent selection of the healthy and the calorie laden.

There's a walgreen virtually next door and a Starbucks further down. I discovered a restaurant/food court called Good Thyme which serves a very decent variety of buffet food by weight - it is down M street (walk out of the hotel, turn left at Walgreen, pass Starbucks, cross the road and look out for it on the right) The only downside is that it closes at 4pm.

This hotel is not particularly near any metro stations - DuPont circle and Foggy Bottom are a brisk 12 minute walk away. It is walking distance from Georgetown with its great shops. I wasn't impressed with the $9.99 charge for internet access, especially as it stopped working after a couple of hours.

Would I stay here again? If the price is right, although I may look for a hotel that's closer to the metro. I gave it 4 stars because there is no 3 and a half star option, and 3 stars seemed a bit mean..
