I ate one weekday morning at the Courtard Cafe. I tried to order eggs "a la carte", but the Ethiopian immigrants working as waitresses had a hard time communicating, and after I sat down, I was presented with a check for the full buffet, something like $12.99. Eggs a-la-carte are and have been available at courtyard cafes for the 13... more

This is a very lovely hotel, excellent downtown location, beautiful rooms, cubic fridge in room, lovely decorum, fireplace in lobby and Internet computers in lobby for guest. They feature complimentary coffee every day. Was available on Friday but not Saturday! The complimentary coffee was not made until one full hour later! The clerk was so nasty as she said, "... more

The front desk staff was really friendly and helpful but housekeeping did not seem to understand their job. The first of three nights there were dirty, stained and wrinkled sheets on the bed. The second night there was clean sheets. The third night there were clean sheets again...with a card explaining Marriott's program for being green/sustainable involves changing the sheets... more

We had the Courtyard Marriott in Silver Spring as our wedding hotel. There were some difficulties early on with our booking but it was cleared up and we were given a free suite for our wedding night for our troubles. Clean, convenient, friendly, well decorated. Central gathering area in lobby for guests. We were very happy. No parking fees on... more

The food is better. The rooms are cleaner. I do not recommend the Marriott because: I do not speak a Spanish or an African Language and cannot... more

The location is OK as Silver Spring is becoming revitalized, but still has a long, long way to go. The hotel is convenient to some mid-level chain restaurants, but nothing notable. I suggest staying in Bethesda - a far nicer area. The desk clerks were not nice and some could barely speak English. The were not overly concerned with any... more

Great location; on the periphery of a shopping district with restaurants,theaters and stores close by. Whole Foods Market across the street provided supplies for our in-room fridge. Hotel was very clean, staff was very cordial. Lobby is on the 3rd floor so you enter through the parking garage or an elevator connecting to a small alcove with street access. (Elevator... more

I was there for a week on business. The room was good, the housekeeping was great. The negitives I have were more customer service. The ice machine on the 2nd floor did not work and the drink machine was out the whole week. When the lady with me reported it the lady at the counter was very NOT concerned. She... more

I had to go to DC on business, but all the hotels in town were booked. This hotel was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad we stayed here. The location is close to the metro - about 2 1/2 blocks - very easy walking. There is also plenty to do around the hotel - a mall,... more
