I stayed in the Marriott in Washington during a business trip but only for one night. The hotel was very busy - there was a mix of business and tourist clientele. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was what you'd expect in a 3* Marriott - nothing special but clean and reasonably well equipped. I didn't eat there (either for breakfast or dinner). I took a trip instead to the Old Ebbitt Grill restaurant (a 5 minute cab ride from the hotel)with some work colleagues and the meal was excellent. I would recommend it!

reasonable rate for family of four (approx. $149) in a great location. Room was very comfortable and clean. In room internet was a little slow, but this was not our priority. Several convenient stores located near hotel for family snacks and quick meals ( CVS, subway, bread/bagel store). One week day there was a farmers market a few blocks from the hotel (maybe it was Thursday?) Great location, easy to walk to most sights.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this Courtyard Marriott. I stayed for a long weekend, arrived early morning. The very friendly staff managed an early check-in for me and stored my luggage until ready. I booked a double room and received one that faced the Spy Museum across the street...very comfortable and clean. 2-double beds, comfortable chair, workdesk w/ ergonomic chair and free internet, tv w/all the channels I like plus several sports channels. The bathroom was clean w/plenty towels.

Loved the fact that it was in an old bank building (small and cozy, which I like), so plenty of original trim and marble. The elevators required your room key in order to access your floor, which I liked because it restricted access. The cafe (which I believe serves only breakfast) was in the basement level was very comfy and nice...the breakfast buffet was ample w/selections and very good..eggs made to order, food very tasty and replenished regularly. The wait staff were very pleasant.

As a major tea drinker, one of my favorite amenities was the fact that I could select a variety of teas from a tea chest in the main level guest area, along with half-and-half and splenda, to take to my room and have tea whenever I wanted....I really enjoy my tea!

I thought the location was perfect....walking distance to major attractions (if you are a walker, which I am not), close to the metro and another transportation system called the 'dc circulator' (which I used for all 3 days there)....loved it! It is also in a very safe area...after hours, when the street and major pedestrian traffic slowed down, people were socializing at the outdoor cafes, walking their dogs, etc. Felt very safe.

Families stayed there, singles, couples, tourists....if you are looking for a high end business hotel, this one is not for you, otherwise, I think it is a gem.

Since I loved the location, the breakfast, the room rate, and especially the tea, I would not hesitate to stay there again and recommend it to others.

Our family stayed here in July. the location was great. close to the metros and in walking distance to most things. The staff was friendly and the hotel clean. The rooms however are very very small. we had a room with 2 double beds and there were four of us. There was very little space around the bed and the bathroom was even worse interms of space. The pool was very disappointing. There was mold along the walls of the pool and hot tub. After a long day of walking and sight seeing the hot tub sounded good but it was not something we wanted to get in to.
