    The desk staff were friendly and helpful. I didn’t need to contact them for any needs but feel they would have been responsive. The room (219) was clean and well maintained. I had a standard king room and found the desk and bathroom setups to be quite well laid out. Was a little stark to see the sink as soon as you walked in BUT it functioned well while in the room. The shower was clean, had a foot shelf, and plenty of space for toiletries. It was a narrower shower but I was able to function in it without hitting the wall or glass doors. Bed was on the stiffer side which worked great for my pre-bed lounging but not so great for my sleep, but no mattress is one size fits all. The room temp was adjustable and comfy and the room didn’t have a musty smell like some hotel rooms do. I’d definitely stay here again if I have to come to the corp office again or IAD overnight.

    I left the shower run for near 15 mins and could never get any hot water. When I mentioned it to the staff, he just stuttered on words and didn’t really have anything to say or couldn’t give a solution. People screamed in the hall most of the night. Room was clean though

    The bed was like sleeping on a box spring rather than a mattress and the toilet would not flush. I usually enjoy my stays at Marriott but no worth $200 for this stay.

Hotel was clean, all was in good working order, AC was efficient and effective. Overall a great stay. (One night stay for a kid's sporting event nearby).

    Free easy parking, great location, very clean and comfortable room including the bed (slept really well – you could hear things in the hall, so there's a risk there if people are loud, but luckily no one was). The breakfast was also very pleasant – they even had oat milk, so nice. Nothing, all good.

    I stayed several weeks ago and it was totally fine. This time, the same type of room was tiny by comparison, the bathroom was so small you could hardly shut the door because of the toilet. There was ZERO hot water for showering or for shaving and the air conditioner did not cool the room but made it humid. I wouldn’t recommend!

Toilet had to be flushed twice in order for anything to go down. The elevator was dirty.

    Overall not a bad place, clean, quiet, pleasant staff, however... The bathroom was the size of a closet with no sink in it. You had to step outside of the cubicle to wash up in full view of occupants of the room, touching the door handle with your soiled hands. No garbage in any of garbage cans. No trash in the bathroom next to the toilet. The heater would not stay on heat. Modern thermostat connected to old heater which wouldn't keep the room at a comfortable level. Breakfast was very good, check out was super fast.

He said he fixed it, we got ready for bed, gave it some time to cool down, but we realized that it still wasn't working. They did give us a different room, which we really appreciated! The beds were ok, not great, but they did have really nice pillows.

    We booked a room with a king bed. When we got to the room, we were put in a room with 2 queen beds. When we called the desk to see what happened to our reservation with a king bed, we were told there were no rooms with a king size bed because they over booked. The compensation for negating our booking was nominal.

    Stayed there because of the excellent reviews. Was on a business trip to DC and previously stayed at a 4 star hotel payed by my employer. But had to extend the stay due to personal reasons with paying out of pocket and hence stayed at this Marriott hotel. True to the reviews everything was beyond excellent. The room welcomed with a faint perfume aroma and the room temperature was ambient. The bed was comfy and the sheets were cotton unlike the uncomfortable polyester at the Hyatt regency. The room was quiet. The highlight was the professionalism and courtesy by the front desk staff. George was really commendable in his dealings with customers - a true professional. Overall love it! Will stay here again.
