Washington Marriott Wardman Park

There's just so much wrong with this hotel. Check-in was good, but on arrival in the room I found a clearly unvacuumed carpet and a spray bottle of cleaner that had been left by the maid. Called down to ask for someone to come up and vacuum, was told someone would be up "right away", which was over a half-hour. On other days, the carpet clearly wasn't touched. The one meal I ate in the restaurant was awful. I had a dinner buffet during which the waitress never came to the table without being asked. The food was average, and they kept running out of items, which shouldn't be an issue when the number of dishes is as limited as this buffet features. I was there for a convention, the ballrooms and meeting rooms were always hot, not enjoyable in the summer. I would guess they keep their "AC" at 78 or so. Complaints were constant, but the hotel apparently didn't care. The only reason I rate the hotel as high as 2 stars are from the nice (but small) rooms and the attractive public spaces. Make no mistake, this is NOT a desirable hotel, stay somewhere else!

Stayed here with my husband for a weekend get-away. We checked in at 6 PM and when we got to our room, the bathroom was clearly dirty and had hair all over the floor, and stains on the toilet seat. Called down to the front desk and asked if they could have someone clean it while we're out at dinner. They apologized and said yes, of course. That's great - except, we came back from dinner around 9:45 and it still hadn't been cleaned, but someone had dropped off more towels. Thanks? Had to call again before they finally sent someone. The next night, we got back to the area around 11:30 PM and were feeling a little hungry. Didn't seem like any local convenience stores were open, so we went back to the hotel. Room service had stopped for the night, but that was fine, we figured we'd just find something from a vending machine. We trek around our floor and don't find one. I call the front desk and am told they have no vending machines in the hotel. So instead of being able to enjoy starchy chip goodness in the comfort of my room, I went to bed hungry, wondering if I could get away with snatching bar mix from the pub. Just not a 4-star experience.

It was decent to say the least; there was, however, one major issue I had with the cleanliness of the room. The sheets on the beds seemed not to have been washed properly. There were stains. Yuck. Also, I believe there was a leak near the air conditioning unit. it caused a slightly mildewy smell from the carpet and my track jacket that had been moistened by the leak. Not the best experience, but i know the facility has the potential to truly deliver and wow.

good

The location isn't central to downtown DC, but situated in a nice neighborhood with incredibly easy access to the metro. The staff was extremely accomodating, however the pool was closed for the duration of my stay and there were limited channel selections on the tv.

The place was huge and I didn't have enough help with my luggage. I was cold and it took at hour to get an extra blanket. I slept in my jacket.

I thought the WiFi in the conference room could have been free. I was there with the ASBS and 12.00 more to use the WiFi I think was excessive. For $300 a night I thought the room could have been nicer, larger and have hotel information available in the room. The Service and the People were excellent!!

The hotel itself, the location and the ppl were great but housekeeping wasn't up to par in my book. I didn't have all of the toilettries that I had come to expect at this level of hotels. Had to ask the front desk for several things besides the shower gel etc. Overall, the experience was nice, I love DC and as a representative of it, they did a good job.

Our hotel stay was average -this hotel is more suitable for conventions -very expensive-charged $33 for parking-not aware of the cost until we arrived at hotel. First night we could not sleep because of the noise level in the room next to us. The noise went on to 4:30 in the morning. The walls are very thin we could hear people coming and going all three nights My 91 year old mother was ill and the noise did not help. In the guest book it mentioned that we could call the front desk if we need a Doctor, upon calling we were told to call 911 this was not what I read in guest book. 5 minutes later We were also contacted by two security people advising if we needed an ambulance. I stated that my mother was not that ill and that I needed to find a medical doctor that would treat her. They wanted me to take her to hospital-not what we wanted. We have been on other trips to DC but this one takes the cake.....

I got an amazing price on this hotel with a flight and hotel package. The hotel is ok, nothing too fancy but definitely not a dump. Clean, friendly and the hotel restaurant is decent. My only complaint is that since it is a conference hotel there is a fair number of people that were loud in the hallways at night :)
