The experience was far below expected standards. Don’t over pay, stay elsewhere. From arrival, multiple issues were apparent. The sofa bed was very poor quality, you could feel the springs through the mattress, causing discomfort and back pain. I was traveling with elderly parents and booked this room for comfort, which this property failed to provide. This is not the quality expected from a Marriott-branded hotel. Throughout the stay, the coffee machine was out of milk and instead dispensed a sweet chocolate mix. The internet TV did not work either. Repeated inquiries were met with the same vague responses and indifferent attitude, suggesting these were ongoing issues. Breakfast was consistently disappointing and bare-bones. No toast bread (staff said it’s only available on weekends), only English muffins, and no fruit at all. On the second day, even regular milk was unavailable, only oat milk was offered. Staff responses were dismissive, and issues raised over multiple days remained unresolved. The room had significant road noise. I was awake after 5:00 AM daily. The bathtub also backed up water, adding to the poor bathroom condition. Overall, the property felt like a low-quality motel with poor service. For a Marriott-branded hotel, this was extremely unacceptable.

Nice rooms and a nice hotel but VERY unorganized at check in. Couldn’t find me & then they were arguing about whose fault it was. Tried to charge me for self parking and I didn’t even self park so I had to call down at check out and tell them I didn’t and the lady who answered the phone had a slight attitude. But the hotel was pretty close to everything so.

No trash bags in the trash cans. Some sort of alarm going off in the storage room next to us all night. Had to pay for parking. There’s a mysterious charge on my card that the manager won’t get in touch with me about. Other than that, the room was clean and the staff was polite.

Charged me extra and the front lady staff didn't know why so mad about that. Couldn't fix it or explain why I did when I already paid before for the room. Not sure if it's becuse they used to not be a Marriott and now are?

The room was spacious and in a good condition, but the common areas, especially the corridors reeked of weed/marijuana. Although I enjoyed my stay inside the room, I will probably not return just due to the smell.

There is a $25+ parking fee that is forced on guests that is NOT informed of prior to arrival. They ask if you’re parking there and you have to then pay that fee or find parking elsewhere. Idk if just a DC thing or what but at least add that to the listing or in the price already. That’s absurd

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Check in was very quick, and it was a nice clean hotel. I enjoyed the fitness center and how close it was to everything, especially Echostage! The breakfast was free and offered a variety of things from yogurt to cereals, omelettes, muffins, bread, fruit, milk and more. I will be back for the next concert I go to at Echo! :)
