    This Marriott property is a bit dated but management has done a good job of maintaining rooms in great working condition. The staff is professional, courteous and friendly. We were on a trip to see grandchildren. We will be back in September. Proximity to Mosaic is a definite plus for us.

    We loved everything about the room! The room was clean. The staff was pleasant, friendly and listened to everything I said, and their responses were just what I want to hear. The location was just where I wanted it to be. The parking lot was confusing with the new pay for parking signs and where to park. We paid for our parking and they’ve never checked the cars and we could’ve parked for free. The parking was on our stay at the Radisson.

    Deceptive comments by GM in prior response she made to customer comment about being happy customer enjoyed seasonal pool. It wasn't open then and isn't now. Parking fee states " covered is 15$ a day" leaving you to wonder if uncovered is free...it is also 15 which is vaguely deceptive. Underground parking appears to not have been power washed in over a decade. Many other odd and gross issues here. 100% never again...suggest you find a better place not owned by nearly bankrupt ashford properties

    Overall room is a bit outdated, which is not a big deal as it was very comfortable for the family (2 rooms/2 bathrooms, sofa bed and equipped full kitchen). Breakfast was fairly good, although not a fan of the "free range scramble egg" as it seems more like "liquid eggs" from a container. Staff was supper courteous and attentive.

    The hotel was conveniently located near the interstate. There was a shopping center within steps of the hotel. The breakfast was pretty good and a bit of an upgrade from the standard continental breakfast. The fitness room was clean and had updated equipment. We had one bedroom with a sofa bed, which gave us privacy. This is important when you have a teenage child. The hotel is nestled in a neighborhood, and we enjoyed taking a morning walk there.

    I got just about everything I bargained for: the room was quiet, clean, safe, and comfortable. I already knew my way around the immediate area, as this was a brief stay while my home was undergoing repairs not far away. The location just off the Capital Beltway enabled me to maintain most of my usual routine. I only required a place to stay for a couple of days, but it would be suitable for longer stays.

    My partner and I had a great stay, there were just a few minor issues. There was a broken elevator so we had to walk a bit further to get to our room. Within our room the shower kept heavily dripping throughout the entire stay. Day and night. Lastly, the bed was a bit too firm for our taste and a size smaller tha we booked but we didn’t complain. We had a great stay and it was very clean and smelled quite fresh.
