It's true there are ants - lots of them - the place seems built on an anthill or something. And, yes, the breakfast is gross (but this IS the States). There was some good after work hors d'oeuvres though.

The staff is very friendly - but it doesn't really make up for the shortfalls. The place is always packed though and the staff tells me they are renovating soon.

Not soon enough...

Less then $100 for a panthouse suite, that's a excellent value for 6 people. Clean, free parking, free breakfast.....
Even it's a little bit far from downtown, it's worthy

- First ANTS... do you like ants all over the place... well I dont... and I changed rooms only to find more ants...
- Free Brakefast... wow, sounds great! Well thrust me it was not! everything was cold... and I am talking about, eggs, meat, patatos... it was really bad... the bagels were great (thank god!)
- Pool... ah the Pool well actually the pool guy... you see every time the sun went away, he looked up and smiled! locked up the pool and went inside on the internet!
- and the keys! well the keys... they just kept on getting deproogrammed, all 3 keys 3 days in a row...

the room is very nice and good size (If you like ANTS!) but they really need to get a couple of things fixed up in this hotel, this is NOT what I would expect about a Marriot residence inn...

And just to help the whole area around Tyson Corner is under so mutch repairs it crasy around here... so mutch traffic... and if you did get out of Tyson corner then you probably end up on 495 to get anywhere and thats even worse... so mutch traffic it was not even funny...

Just wanted to get away for the weekend with my husband and child, we arrived and the customer service was excellent but the room needs an up grade, tv, kitchen appliances, head board, mattress was very hard and the towels had stains on a few of them. I woke up with a back ache, then decided to cut our trip short.
