Stayed here twice so far and it is just steps away from dupont circle and is a very good hotel for the money. The service at the hotel is great and has a pretty good restaurant in the lobby. The rooms are up to date and they have the latest HD channels and TV's. Only complaint is that it can sometimes be noisy at night due the sirens, but that happens. The hotel can't control that. If that is my only complaint then this is a good hotel. Stay on the higher floors and try to get a corner room.

The staff is so helpful, friendly and gives you a personalised welcome.
Grand accommodation ( super beds),morning paper, valet parking. The restaurant is always open(breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner). The atmosphere is great and the food delicious. The lobby is large :there is always coffee available at the reception and you have several computers.
We were on the 7th floor.Quiet location. The hotel is located in the center (2 streets away from the white house). Everything is between walking distance. Neighbourhood is nice.
We certainly go back and recommend this hotel to everybody.

It was a bit confusing that Rhode Island Ave is a very long avenue and the metro station Rhode Island Ave is located at the other side of the street, which is in the suburbs you do not want to end up. The hotel is located just a few streets from the White House, so location is awesome. The rooms were large, the air conditioning was digitally controlled and thus very comfortable. In addition, there is a coffee machine in the lobby that provides free coffee/thee to all guests. Cups are there for take away, so every morning you can take a nice coffee with you.

After our stay we forgot to take a jacket with us. It took a day before the responsible person for lost & found was there, but in the end she promised me to send the jacket to New York where we were staying afterwards. Just before the hurricane Irene, the hotel send the package to NY using FedEx overnight priority service. The package was just delivered 3 hours before we left to Europe. Perfect service!

I have stayed in many Mariotts - from JWs and Courtyards to Residence Inn. This is the most underwhelming. The room for our family was small and old - time for a refurb. Washington is expensive but this didn't represent value for money.
