“Great location”

Washington Marriott at Metro Center

4 of 5 stars
baton rouge, louisiana
Aug 8, 2008

The best feature of this hotel is the location. You're within walking distance of Chinatown, a number of museums, restaurants and bars. Plus, the Metro is literally outside the hotel's back door with connections to multiple lines. Our room was a standard hotel room. It was comfortable and clean. We ate in the restaurant for breakfast each morning. The service was friendly and the food was good. I had pancakes one morning; oatmeal most other mornings. My husband had the fruit plate. The hotel has a salt water pool which was a wonderful treat at the end of a hot summer day. My only complaint is that the pool is on the small side and it was packed with kids no matter what time of the day we went. But it was summer and it was hot so that's probably to be expected. Just don't expect to be able to swim laps. The hotel's air conditioning isn't the best. I like it really cold and our hotel room air conditioning unit wasn't up to it. We were a little uncomfortable at night. The hotel has a lot of security - we had to show our room key to get on the elevator most of the time. There were a lot of homeless people outside the hotel but it's DC and there are homeless people everywhere. The location more than made up for any drawbacks. Be careful about asking the hotel staff for directions and tourist information. We were steered the wrong way more than once.

“Loved the Marriot at the Metro Center”

Washington Marriott at Metro Center

Aug 6, 2008

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, 3 full days. Got a deal that included parking and also free full breakfast buffet each morning for basically the price they charge for parking - $30 a day more than the room rate. We had such a great time in DC (many museums are FREE, the subway/metro is so neat and clean etc) and our room was no exception. I booked the room based on the trip advisor reviews and was not disappointed. The service was fabulous...very gracious and friendly and pleasant - on every level of personnel. The restaurant had a terrific breakfast buffet and the waitstaff was professional, friendly and very helpful. Delicious food also - waffles to order and also omlettes, fresh fruit all kinds of breads and pasteries. We ate dinner both nights at the restaurant - I can honestly say the salmon was the best I've ever had. Service wasn't super fast but not dragging either. Happy, friendly, helpful waitstaff which was just great. I kept thinking that either this hotel hired the happiest people around, or had done some serious training on customer service b/c it was such a great experience. I'd go there again in a minute. Room was quiet, very clean, nice amenities. Lobby very pretty and clean, Starbucks counter in the lobby which was great (only served some of the coffees, not the whole menu, but enough to get a nice cup of coffee and a snack if you needed a fix :). Nice little gift shop - of course a little pricey but had stuff if you wanted a snack etc. We didn't use room service but noticed there wasn't a charge for room service, just a gratuity added. Concierge was very helpful and nice, parking valet guy couldn't have been sweeter. Maybe I'm a little cynical but truly by the end of the trip, with each greet and smile I was thinking "are they kidding?" I mean, usually there is something that is not quite right. Well not this time - they really got it right from rooms to service to appearance and food. By the way, the location is AWESOME. Across the street from Macy's and Payless if you forgot something and need to shop for it. Great restos nearby, and literally down the block from the neat and clean metro station which is two subway stops from the Wash Monument and other attractions, and a few more stops (minutes) if you want to go to the capital. Hope everyone has as nice an experience - I would go there in a sec again.

“Great hotel, great location”

Washington Marriott at Metro Center

Jul 26, 2008

I stayed at the Metro Marriott for a week as part of a very large conference. The hotel was packed but the customer service was great! It's about a 10 minute walk to the convention center and you can also walk to Chinatown for shopping and restaurants. Macy's is right across from the hotel. A metro stop is right on the corner. The hotel location is very convenient. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

“Very nice hotel”

Washington Marriott at Metro Center

4 of 5 stars
Toronto, Ontario
Jul 23, 2008

This hotel is located in a great place. Just next to the Metro Centre subway stop and a reasonable walking distance from some of the popular sites (especially during a time of year when the temperatures are not tipping 100 degrees).

We got an upgraded suite since our room was not ready when we got there which was very nice for a family of four to have the extra room.

I read reviews before booking and noted that there were comments regarding the lack of sitting room in the lobby, etc. I would say they are unfounded.

The pool area looked to be very nice and bright at first glance but being a clean nut; I would say on closer inspection that it is in need of a refurbishment quite soon. The fitness centre has a great deal of equipment in it.

The restaurant is quite reasonably priced. Being that we were with teens, we did not visit the bar.

“Satisfactory hotel, GREAT location”

Washington Marriott at Metro Center

4 of 5 stars
Milwaukee, WI
Jul 22, 2008

I was in town for a convention and this is the location that was selected for our entire group. The hotel was nice.Room was a nice size, elevators seems able to handle the traffic of the groups pretty well. Ate at the ground level restaurant and thought the food was good for the price. Lots of peopole in our group sropped down every night! Located about 7 blocks from the convention center and JUST outside the metro and across from a large Macy's. Chinatown was just a few blocks away as well.
