“Business in Bethesda and the North Marriot”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2012

Stayed one night at the Bethesda North Marriot Hotel and Conference Center, because of a meeting in the Conference Center. The positives: the hotel lobby and meeting rooms were fresh, modern, warm and esthetic. The place glowed with marble surfaces and lighting. The room was well appointed (although with a microscopic soap bar), the bed and linens were very comfortable, and the furnishings and drapes were high quality - a cut above many business oriented hotels. A convenient starbucks and other amenities were appreciated. Check-in and out was a breeze, and staff were helpful. The hotel could easily rate another star if only: (1) the front desk personnel were more efficient: I asked for change of a $20 bill and this required about 10 minutes of checking, rummaging, fussing. (2) retrieval of checked luggage seemed to take an eternity, AFTER the bell captain was finally located. (3) when an item fell off the night table and I sought it near the bed frame-under the bed skirt, I was shocked to find copious amounts of detritus hiding under the bed skirt and behind the night table that had accumulated and not been vacuumed. (4) no taxis were waiting in front of the hotel so I took a costly hotel limo (waiting) for my next meeting under a tight schedule; the hotel driver wound me through the most extreme and unecessary traffic to get to my next destination (5) access to lower level conference rooms required walking up and down a long steep, flight of stairs (neither the elevator nor an escalator were visible). Somewhat of a challenge if you are lugging a suitcase or heavy computer.

Room Tip: My room had an intermittent and very loud noise coming from a generator or some other type of heavy...

“Convenient and predictable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2012

Stayed here one night for a conference in the neighborhood. Very easy 5 min walk from the Metro, helpful and pleasant employees, and nice room. Bagel store in the strip mall next door opens at 6 am - a big perk. Would definitely stay here again.

“Annoying”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2012

I stayed on the 9th floor concierge level, but it didn't seem to be anything special. I could hear lots of noise from the hallway from staff, and the neighbor's door banged very loudly when s/he entered or exited. The design of the room was strange: the first 6 feet or so of the floor at the entrance was cold tile. Say what? In addition the air in the room was exceedingly stale. Of course the windows are sealed throughout the building. Dead building syndrome.

The room service food is hit and miss. Good: the apple tart with vanilla ice cream (it's a pre-fab tarted heated up, but it's good nonetheless), and the crab cake sandwich. Bad: the "caesar salad". Let me tell you about this salad: it was created by a guy somewhere downstairs who ripped up some plain dry iceberg lettuce, put it on a plate, and then placed next to it 2 ceramic custard cups of dressing. That, my friends, is how you destroy anyone's interest in a salad.

The staff at the check-in was consistently pretentious.

The best thing about this hotel: the Rockville metro station is just across the street, and Whole Foods is only 2 blocks away.

In general I felt like I was in a motel. I doubt I will be returning to this establishment, unless I need it for its convenient location (Rockville does not have many high quality hotel choices).

Room Tip: Concierge rooms don't seem to be anything special.

“Great Location and Tasty Breakfast!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2012

I recently stayed at this hotel for a weekend with my husband. It was right across from the White Flint Metro stop, so provided a short ride into DC via train. The rooms were on the average side...slightly worn with regard to the furniture, but the bed was super comfortable. Overall, the hotel appeared recently renovated and fresh. The breakfast buffet at the hotel restaurant was always delicious and had excellent service.
