... from Kelvin at the front desk, who tried very hard to help us. Hotel is very handy for the metro, and is very comfortable, especially the mattress. The room ws large and very well furnished. Altogether very good value for money. Thanks again.

“Excellent choice! - AHudgens”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

All of the staff are very friendly, courteous and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel is very well maintained. The lobby area is very welcoming and relaxing. The staff go out of their way to take care of you and any needs you may have. The complimentary breakfast offers many choices and the evening social is always a pleasant way to end the day. I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in the area without hesitation.

“A great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

As always the Marriott staff made this stay well worth it. Everyone there was always pleasant and eager to help in anyway they could. From the front desk staff, to the housekeeping or maintenance and the shuttle driver. Kudos to all. The room was clean and well stocked and everything was in working order which always helps! This hotel is a short walk to a Metro stop for a trip into DC and the hotel provides a free shuttle to the Old Town/King St. area for drinks and dining. Breakfast is included and has a decent variety and Monday-Wednesday they have a managers reception type of deal with a light meal and drinks also. My only knock would be the parking. Like everywhere else in this area it is limited and expensive. Don't bring your full size SUV and expect to put it in the parking deck! This area is a good place to stay if you don't want to stay within DC since you can just hop the Metro and be there in 20-30 minutes anyway.

Room Tip: Try to get on the non Metro track side. Not too much noise from the tracks but, may make it a bit b...

“Very comfortable stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

A very comfortable stay. The rooms are large (with kitchenette, table and chairs, settee and en suite). The rooms are clean and have a good view. Breakfast is fine, there's plenty and it's wholesome. The receptionists are very accommodating and extremely helpful. A very comfortable stay

“Excellent stay in the DC area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

We stayed at this Residence Inn since it was so close to Mt. Vernon (about 9 easy miles) and also to Old Town Alexandria. The front desk staff was very helpful. Our room was exceptionally clean and quiet. Complimentary breakfast was better than I expected. The hotel is also very easy access to Washington, DC sights. I would readily stay there again.

Room Tip: Get a high floor
