• Convenient location, friendly staff.
• Not much for food or drink selection.

“This is a great hotel for those doing business in the Capitol Hill area - just two stops away on the Metro. The location is perfect, near some good restaurants as well. It's a business hotel, so don't expect to have a romantic or family weekend.”

• The park car was too expensive for the costumers.

“The hotel location is excellent, close to many stores, bar, restaurants and museums. So, because of the price and the service we had to park in the street.”

• Proximity to the Museums/Capitol/Whitehouse.
• Room was small, had to pay $24 a night for parking.

“The staff was great, very accomodating! It was a short 4 block walk to the museums and the middle of the national mall, awesome location! Good restaurant choices nearby. The room was on the small side for a Marriot due to the old building which used to be a bank. Having to pay $24 a day for parking really. Especially when the other Marriot we stayed at in the area gave free parking.”

Cleanliness:[10] • Staff:[10] • Location:[10]

• The location was great, and the personnel were extremely helpful.
• The method of utilizing the elevator with the key card is faulty, and slowed things up.

“I know the building was a bank retrofitted as a hotel, so there were odd things in the structure, but the idea of a sink outside of the bathroom is a bit weird. One wonders how well the door handle of the bathroom is cleaned. Also, that security system for using the elevator is terrible. It was clean, and as I said above, everyone was extraordinarily polite and helpful.”

“I really liked the free use of computer station and the free breakfast buffet. Buffet would be nice to have something different once in a while. Like biscuits and sausage gravy or some scrambled or hard boiled eggs. The room was very nice and clean. Had problems with several electrical outlets including the hairdryer outlet. Had to dry hair at the desk area. Room had been smoked in even though it was a smoke free hotel.”

“The hotel is close to the downtown area, in a safe, well lit neighborhood. It is close to three separate Metro stops, with a good selection of great restaurants. The hotel had been a bank at one time, and there were marble stairways, and plenty of brass fixtures. The hotel had 4 star charm, at a 2 1/2 star cost!”

• Lack of room service when promised.

“Nothing went right on this visit. The valet for my car couldnt answer a simple question; the desk person had to ask a manager for a simple question, there was no room service when the hotel amenities booklet said it would be available. All in all a nice place but very poor service.”

• Nightclub crowd out on the street (across the street) detracted from the exterior environment.

“This Courtyard was quiet and comfortable, as well as centrally located, near the subway and a few museums and bus tours. Comfy beds and pillows, and clean rooms. Gordon Biersch restaurant downstairs was great.”

“I liked this hotel overall. The building was remodeled and new. But the rooms are not that special for upscale level of hotel. I would say, the building is upscale and the rooms are moderate level. The bad part was that the hotel charges $24 parking fee a day, which was too much! I've never seen that much charge for daily parking!”

• The location of hotel was only few blocks from convention we had at Verizon center.
• I used valet parking for one night, yet I found they charged me for two nights. They make some adjustment but later I found out that it was not correct.

“I am disappointed with the valet parking services offered by the hotel. The staff was unfriendly and I need to wait for them to bring the car more than 15 minutes of time than what they promised. Due to that reason, I did not use their service during second day stay at the hotel. Yet, I was billed for two nights. I asked front desk about over charges, they adjusted the charges. This adjustment was turned out to be not for only one day but it was in the amount which I cannot understand. In short, they still charged me more than one day, but slightly less than 2 days. I do not know what methods they used to charge the parking.”

• The location was fabulous and the free high speed internet allowed me to work from my room.
• I liked it all!

“The courtyard by Marriott as the convention center is in an old converted bank building that is beautiful. The king bed rooms are large and have a sofa for relaxing. The free high speed internet was a bonus for me. The location is between two metro stops so it is very convenient. The staff was very nice. I liked that the shower had a handrail and two shelves for toiletries. I was very pleased with this hotel. I think the 2.5 star rating is wrong. It is a 3. I could not have been happier with this choice.”
