I stayed here for a conference last weekend and enjoyed my stay. Beds are comfortable, room service is prompt, and the staff is really helpful. Suggestion for travelers: Ask to have a room in the capitol tower. The rooms are MUCH nicer. I stayed here in September as well, and unless they've renovated the Arlington tower, there is a huge...

While the hotel looks like it was built in the 80's, it appears to have been updated 5-7 years ago. The lobby is spacious and modern looking. The front desk staff were professional. The room furnishings are contemporary with a flat panel TV. The bathroom, though smallish, has a granite countertop. The bed had a comfortable pillow-top mattress. Housekeeping staff... More

The Marriot Crystal Gateway Hotel is a very nice hotel. The hotel conveniently located off of the Blue/Yellow Metro rail with plenty of local restaurants and watering holes in the area. The lobby is huge, staffed with courtesy people, and is very clean. One thing I noticed was a security guard located at the main entrance in the evening hours.... More

I just spent five days at the Marriott for a conference. I was not involved in planning, but as a participant, everything ran remarkably smoothly. Food was surprisingly good (breakfast, lunch, and dinners), meeting rooms were properly serviced and configurations changed as planned. I stayed on a concierge level floor and had most breakfasts in the lounge. The food was... More

I stayed here in October for buisness. It was nice to have the subway running underneath your room. Great food ,shopping and a way to see the sights without spending a fortune. The rooms were nicely cleaned and the staff friendly. The training area and ballrooms were updated and well kept. I would say to visit here for business or... More

This Marriott is located conveniently near the Pentagon, Reagan National Airport, and Arlington National Cemetary.The staff was knowlegeable in helping us make arrangements and with getting around. The metro is an easy walk, and it can be done underground if the weather is not cooperative. The new bedding is the coziest I ever experienced! More

RECOMMENDED: This hotel has much to recommend, close proximity to airport for those traveling out, general usage as a conference hotel and a good spot for a tourist visiting DC (easy walk to Metro and plenty of nearby restaurants). Hotel in general good repair and standard Marriott issue. No problems to speak of. Rates at the property vary widely depending... More

In a nutshell, the hotel is large (two towers) with spacious rooms and a wonderful garden atrium that houses the indoor portion of an indoor/outdoor pool (note, the pool is not large enough for lap swimming). There was a lot that went wrong during my two night stay for a meeting we were holding at the hotel (the power went... More

For a basic conference hotel, it is a good choice. It connects to the crystal city underground and Metro. Shuttle from the airport is slow, but available. Small fridge in the room, but not stocked and no minibar or microwave. There was a small coffee maker, but the coffee was undrinkable. The bed and pillows were nice and fluffy. Large... More

My husband, daughter and I stayed @ the Marriott Crystal Gateway in December for only 3 nights while visiting the tourist sites in Washington DC. It had been recommended to us by other Australian friends who had stayed there earlier in the year (2011). We had never been to Washington before so knew nothing of how to get around, or... More
