Stayed for 4 nights to attend a business meeting and found e staff to be outstanding. Desk clerks, maids, bell staff, and others were all very friendly and accommodating. Morning wake up call was live, with information on the days weather, and a kind welcome to our nations Capitol.

The lobby area is nice and appeared freshly remodeled, the rooms, not so much.

I had a king room on the 15th floor and the room was very small. The street noise was unbearable given the single pane windows. Walls were especially thin as you could hear conversations in adjacent rooms. My shower had mold around the top tiles and the room was just generally worn.

Rates during my stay were over $300 a night and I saw rates as high as nearly $500. For that price, I really expected better quality.

Stayed here for four nights in January on a business trip and was satisfied with the property. The rooms were clean and up to date. The gym and Concierge Lounge at the hotel are some of the best that I have experienced in the Marriott system. The Concierge Lounge was easily twice the size of what you would expect and was open all day until 11pm. This was truly a great benefit. The gym is actually a fitness club that is located in the hotel that the guests can use (in addition to the club's outside members), so the equipment is of top quality and there are windows, etc. A huge improvement over the usual hotel basement gym. I would definitely return to this hotel if business travel brings me back to the area.

Stayed here a few nights while my wife was at a conference up the street. The homeless great, well located within walking distance of major attractions, Chinatown, restaurants, shopping, the metro.

The hotel itself has a great lobby bar and sports bar.

This hotel is relatively close to two Metro stations (couple of blocks--closest to Chinatown station if you enter at the hard-to-notice entrance on 9th and G streets) and is right on the Red Circulator bus line. The rooms are very clean, as is the rest of the hotel (lobby, restaurant, hallways, etc.). Staff seemed very welcoming and willing to help if needed. However, the rooms are really small! Granted, we had 2 adults and 3 small children in the room, but there was barely room to walk around the beds. And the bathroom is microscopic! I would expect that from a cheaper hotel, but not when paying this much each night. May be too much information, but when you were sitting on the toilet, it was impossible to open or close the door--actually, even when the toilet was not occupied, the door came within 1/8th of an inch of the toilet. Just way too small. I also hate paying $13 a night for internet--so ridiculous--but that seems like the standard in that area.
