• Nice location.
• Internet access was not free.

“I have stayed at this hotel twice now, and each time has been great. The location is nice with a variety of things to do and see within easy walking distance. Free internet would be a nice feature that would really make this a nice bargain.”

• Convenient location just off the highway.
• Horrible mattress. When we complained we were told all beds are the same!

“Average room with horrible mattresses, felt like you were sleeping in a hammock, when we complained we were told that all mattresses were the same so they gave us a small board to put under the mattress which did not help. Asked for a small fridge and was told that one would be send up which it wasn't. After complaining again they told us all fridges were being used. Finally, one arrived in our room the last night of our stay. We were charged for 2 days of internet access but only used it on 1 day. The front staff corrected the error without issue. Went to use pool and saw a sign that said "pool is closed when no lifeguard on duty" I walked around the pool and found the lifeguard hiding/listen to iPod hoping that no one would see him and just leave. After jumping in the pool he gave me a look like I was disturbing his precious time. Only good thing to say is that the hotel is conveniently location just off the highway. Only 2-Star hotel not a 3.”

• Great location-lots of bars, shops etc in walking distance.
• Business center was small, cramped. Hassled by other guests to vacate premises after only 5 minutes online.

“Excellent facility for both business and leisure travel. Clean, spacious, comfortable environment. Friendly and helpful staff, especially front desk receptionist and bar staff. Everyone was very willing to chat and offer tourist advice. Great location-many shops and restaurants within walking distance and great view of beautiful lake from my room. Only complaint would be the paucity of the business facilities offered-no wireless in rooms, small cramped business center, no desks in lobby to use laptop, and access free wireless.”

• It is very nice to be able to walk to some restaurants and to stores.
• The shower curtain was missing a shower hook and the ice bucket had black dirt in it and no bag was available.

“We have stayed on several occasions and have enjoyed our stay. It is usually very nice. We have had only a few small problems. I told them about something that had not been up to par one time and we did not even get an apology (just because we tell them about something does not mean we are asking for a discount or a free night). Just would like it taken care of before we stay again.”

“Friendly staff. Clean Rooms. Nearby to Metro. Conveniently located to restaurants and shopping. Beautiful view of river. Nice pool and hot tub. Though I did not use it, nice exercise room. Cleaning staff were attentive to my needs without me verbalizing. For example, they took it upon themselves to provide a refrigerator for drink storage. Easy access to interstate.”

• Our plan was to find a clean, hotel, got much, more.
• Its not about the hotel but outside was a odor, that mini garbage truck, but other areas [miles away ] had the same odor, maybe a type of plants.

“Loved the food stops and shopping in the area it kept in line with my budget. The view from my room was the best, and if it was warmer besides the one day we had, it could have been a vacation rather than a bus. Trip, please loved the staff.”

• This hotel truly holds up to the Marriott name. Great breakfast, pool, and view.
• I called ahead well in advance to secure adjoining rooms for our group but my request was not honored.

“If you're looking for a place that's convenient, elegant, romantic, and affordable then this is the place for you. There was a soccer league staying there at the same time but I never heard them. This was my second time at this location. I have to say that it was a great stay both times.”

• Great location! Lots of nearby stuff to do. Beautiful setting!
• Horrible "shuttle" service. Cabbies are rude.

“Had a great stay. The nearby Washingtonian Center was really great, too. Lots of restaurants, shops, small lake with ducks and geese, movie theater, etc. The only negative about the hotel is the lack of a true shuttle van. They contract with a local cab company, and you have to get a voucher. We had one cabbie who was VERY rude. I don't understand why they don't operate their own service, especially since there are at least three Marriot properties in the area.”

• The room was rather narrow making a little difficult to move around with four people in it.

“I was extremely impressed with the staff at the hotel. Like I said earlier the room was a little snug for four people, but we really enjoyed the atmosphere of the hotel and the comfort of the beds. Every thing was very clean, and we appreciated that. We really did enjoy ourselves.”
