Okay, most travelers have stayed in hotels where the guest has to use their room key card to either call for an elevator while in the lobby, or use it to enter a floor in the elevator's wall panel. Reason for this is - generally - to keep the riff-raff off the guest room floors. And for that reason, they... More

The JW is in a great location in the heart of DC, almost nothing from the White House, the Mall, etc. Its lobby is impressive as the meeting room spaces downstairs. The bar is not in the main lobby which is a drawback in my opinion. I like a bar area in the lobby that is open where one can... More

I have stayed at this hotel twice in the past three years. It is a large convention hotel. I would only stay here if I received a 'convention' price and many of the dinners, meeting etc. were at the hotel. Otherwise, shop around for a more elegant, less crowded hotel. The rooms that I stayed in were very small and... More

Wife and I stay here 6 or more times a year. Faboulous hotel and service. Only prob ,love to workout early, fittness center is a mess early! More

This is a very good Marriott property, ideal for business travelers. The location is one of the best for those who have business on Capitol Hill, the White House, Agencies, World Bank or across the river in Northern VA. Excellent pick up meeting space in the lobby, fine bar and Starbucks Rooms are fine - great bed, flat-screens and wireless.... More

I stayed a few days during the week for a national conference at $245/night for just the room, no breakfast buffet. All things considered, I feel a bit ripped off even though I’ll be reimbursed. I would consider staying here again for $180 or less. If you want to be within very walkable distance of the white house and various... More

I called asking for routine information, was transferred incorrectly, called back and explained what I wanted very civilly and was YELLED AT for (apparently) not being more specific. I tried to explain and was blind-transferred mid-sentence to a voice mail. Will never book a room there now! More

I'm currently staying 5 days at the JW Marriott in Washington, D.C. It's pricey, but everything close in to the middle of D.C. is expensive. The location couldn't be better. It's in easy walking distance to the White House, the Mall, the Capitol, etc. I can't vouch for the expensive food at the hotel, but there are a lot of... More

This is a pretty standard hotel, but a good value. Rooms are what you'd expect at a Marriott, although a bit cramped. There's a Starbucks in the lobby, which is nice. Location is great-walking distance from lots of the major sights. The pool, however, is disgusting. The water was so cloudy that I had trouble seeing my feet. And the... More
