On my trip to Washington DC, my friend and I needed a hotel that was close to the Metro, affordable and stylish. This hotel has it all!! The Metro is a block away from the hotel and a thirty minute ride to the Smithsonian. I am a college student and to my displeasure, I had to do homework while away for a weekend... the wi-fi was lightning fast in the hotel. The lobby was new and spacious, it had a little cafe that sold sandwiches, coffee and drinks. The only complaint I had about the hotel was the wallpaper was peeling by the AC unit, which isn't that big of a deal. I recommend this hotel for the connivence, friendly staff and amazing value!!

Stayed here several times over the past few weeks and each time has been great. Nice new lobby, plenty of computers and such to use. Love having the newer cafe for breakfast or a Sbux coffee. Absolutely love the underground parking, especially now that winter is here. Room is nice and large and very recently remodeled. The staff is very friendly and always recognize my previous stays at the hotel. Overall a great choice near the 50 and 495 freeways and a short 2-3 miles drive to Tysons Corner.

Stayed two nights here on family vacation. Front desk was friendly, helpful and efficient. There is free parking outside the building and in and underground location. There is free high speed internet in the rooms and there are free computers in the lobby area for printing boarding passes. Our rooms which seemed to be on a recently remodeled floor were were nicely furnished and very clean. The LCD television was a good size and had a good selection of channels. There was a good desk to work from and plenty of outlets for charging portable electronics. The hotel location is close to the Dunn Loring Metro and close by car to destinations in Tysons Corner, Fairfax and Vienna.

I'm a business person who travels frequently. Interestingly, the Courtyards in the DC area have been remodeled, by someone who thinks it is "hip" to have giant TV screens in the lobby blasting noise from all directions, fighting with the hotel stereo system. The restaurants have been replaced by some sort of Starbucks imitation, however since they serve not only coffee, but other more elaborate things, in the morning you get to stand in line behind people ordering full breakfasts, while you just want a black coffee to go. Standing in line while having 3 TV sets blasting you plus the hotel music, makes for a very poor start to a day on the road.

The business centers of the hotels are placed in the middle of this audio mess, which means it is very difficulty to concentrate on what you are doing if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having to actually use the business center to do work. While I was waiting in the lobby for a business colleague to attend a meeting, I was treated to watching a guy in his tee shirt, sweats and slippers microwaving some frozen mac and cheese at the microwave station just opposite the check-in desk.

When I am on a business trip I need to have a quiet, restful experience at my hotel, not an opportunity to get blasted by noise while having to deal with losers microwaving their frozen food in a microwave.

What was Marriott thinking?
