So this hotel is not in the city but you still have to pay for parking!?! The location is convenient if your visiting the NIH. However, I'd rather stay in Bethesda itself. I have stayed at this hotel a few times, booked by bidding on priceline. Therefore for the price I bid, it was a good deal. However, they charge... more

The positives: quiet, comfortable beds, clean, fitness center had good selection of equipment, decent value - our room rate was $89 per night plus taxes. The negatives: location not within walking distance of any restaurants or stores - car dependent. Bathroom water pressure low, poor ventilation, room temperature too hot and could not be adjusted to be below 65 -... more

I was leaving my meeting and went outside for a cab. There was no valet or bellhop outside and a gentleman I had never seen approached me, pointed to his unmarked car and said 'I can take you, where you going?' As a very frequent traveler, I do not get into unmarked cars alone. I went back into the hotel... more

I was beginning a trial at NIH and really needed a relaxing place to stay after a long day of tests, etc. On our first morning, my mother and I discovered we had nothing but cold water in our bathroom. We informed the desk, and were assured it would... more

We request and have always gotten a high floor, extra towels, and a small refrigerator (no charge for this). Our king rooms have been large, well-lit, and clean; the beds at this and other Marriotts... more

Starbucks opposite the elevators is very convenient for good morning coffee. Enjoyed the bar but did not eat in the restaurant. I had a great AAA rate, The staff was very accomodating and... more

I traveled with a colleague in order to do business at NIH (campus, and other buildings in Bethesda housing NIH extramural institutes). Although Pooks Hill Marriott (aka Bethesda Marriott) is near NIH, Bethesda MD, and the nearby offices and attractions, it is impossible to get from there to any of them. You are dependent on their shuttle, which runs irregularly... more

This hotel is about 1 mile north of downtown Bethesda, MD and just off I-270 and the Washington, DC Beltway I-495. It is convenient for driving to Rockville, MD; Bethesda, MD; and most areas around NW Washington, DC. However, there are no places (such as restaurants or stores) that are comfortable walking distance. We knew about this location, so it... more
