When checking in (at 2:30 pm) the lady told us that she really wanted us to have our room immediately. She also said, you are staying several days, I'll give you an upgrade (no cost). Rooms are spacious and clean as expected. Do not expect the same quality of work done by the chamber made if staying for several days. Their breakfast is good. Their lobby is (as with all modern looking courtyards) comfortable to spend time or work. Service oriented attitude. We came to spend some days touring at DC and they have a good garage for $10 a day which totally serves its purpose. Even if not driving to the city it is located five minutes away walking distance from the subway station. If traveling with family, it is definitely worthwhile paying for the breakfast when making the reservation. It will save you good money.

Consider staying at the Rosslyn Courtyard when in Washington DC. It is on the Virginia side of the Potomac but a quick Metro ride from all the major attractions. This is the standard Courtyard drill that Marriott has perfected; comfortable, functional rooms; lobby restaurant with affordable quick meals and lots of TV screens in the lobby for the latest news, etc.

The Rosslyn Metro station is a five block walk. There are several chain restaurants and two Starbuck's within easy walking distance. A walk up Clarendon Boulevard to the courthouse district makes more restaurants available and an 8 screen movie theater (AMC Courthouse Plaza 8). You can also Metro from Rosslyn to the Courthouse stop on the Orange line.

You can continue on Clarendon to the Clarendon neighborhood which has more great restaurants and shopping, including the Clarendon Market Commons. Also available via the Orange Metro line.

Also within walking distance is the US Marine Corps Memorial, walk north on Clarendon to Ft Meyer Drive and then east. You can't miss it. Continue a short distance and you will be at the Netherlands Carillion and one of the best views of Washington. Directly east, is the western edge of Arlington National Cemetery. You can walk through the gate and stroll the grounds.

Unless I have to absolutely have to stay downtown or in Pentagon City, the Rosslyn Courtyard serves me well.

Courtyard Marriott is about as easy and convenient as you can get in Northern Virginia, and a great rate. The staff was very friendly and the rooms very nice -- a little small, but better than other hotels its age. We were in the DC area for a wedding and this was where everyone else stayed. The lobby's size and furnishing made it a very convenient place to meet up. My only criticism is that breakfast wasn't included in the rate as it is in many other area hotels at this price point. That said, the breakfast menu was excellent and not over-priced, and the staff was great.

I checked trip advisor as I always do before any of my trips and the reviews of this hotel was totally accurate. Service good, hotel clean, location good, my pre-teens liked the pool. Only negative rooms are small. Thanks again trip advisor!

Well many of you know how it is when you go to a nice hotel and find everything as reviewed sometimes even better but then the water pressure in the shower is a weak wimper...well not here! Wow this was wonderful surprise, powerful, no leaking shower head that cant be adjusted........5 stars for the water pressure and shower head here! Enjoy
