“A Marriott for the Price of a Courtyard”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

Warning: if you are using iPhone navigation and heading down Route 50 take the mall entrance. Pleasant check-in greated by my name by the bellhop who offered me a paper, Public areas and halls are spotless. Very clean, cheery and well-maintained IMO. Received upgrade to a junior suite.Has a large seating area, walk in closet, but tiny bathroom. The bathroom however was well appointed (patterned wallpaper!). Besides the usual shampoo, cond., body lotion, also received body wash and shoe buff. Room also contained mini fridge and microwave. Shower had good water pressure, although the hot/cold handle is confusing. Didin't stay long enough for dining on premise.Need a place to eat with goodcraft beer? Try the Dogfishhead Ale Houe 2 miles away.

“Watch your reservation and your bill at check-out”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

I am, like many of you, a member of the Marriott Rewards program. If you need a Marriott in Northern Virginia then my opinion is you pass on this property. Why....

I made a reservation on the concerige floor and was willing to pay the extra to stay on that floor as it meets my travel requirements. When I checked in I was told that the concerige floor was sold out. How could it be sold out when I made a reservation for that floor. Oh, I know - because you gave my room away! Instead they just lowered the rate. Unhappy I checked in to my hotel room which was very dated and had a loose window which broght in highway noise. Check-in: Fail.

At check-out I noticed a charge on my bill that was not mine. At check-out I was shown the bar receipt for this questioned charge. In my opinion, he got my room right and a perfect match of my signature (my signature is very unique). Unfortunatley he misspelled my last name. The only thing I signed at that hotel was a room service charge. I believe this given the series of events and signature. Sorry pal if you are going to copy my info off a room service charge then remember how to spell my last name, Hope you enjoyed the beers - loser! Check-out: Fail

Safe travels!

“Some strikes give it the kiss of death. . .”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2012

The staff is very friendly - but there are serious strikes that are simply unacceptable in a hotel in the greater DC area.

-Charging for internet access. Seriously? In 2012? I have been to 2-star holes in other parts of the country and have had free wi-fi. Charging for internet in this day is simply a foul.

-Hotel advertisements on the television that ruin viewing. You read that correctly. Every ten of fifteen minutes one-fourth of my tv screen was filled with an advertisement (part of the hotel system) that bragged about a 'surround sound' system. It interrupts tv viewing. Really - ads on top of ads already on the tv? When I want to watch tv, I don't want it eclipsed by ads - haven't I already paid for the room?

-Needed a second set of room key cards. . .and they barely worked. . .

Nice people, decent location . . what on earth is going on here?

“Great location and nice amenities but getting a bit stale with age.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

Stayed here while visiting my daughters during Thanksgiving week. Just across the parking lot from the mall and reasonably close to many restaurants. Typical older Marriott. Great rooms and the bed was very comfortable. Hotel food was overpriced for what you received. Average value for this type of hotel.

“A great stay at the Marriott”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

Walked in to a warm Hello from the bellboy and while I was standing in line to check in, he asked if I would need a news paper & if I need help with the heavy luggage which I don't because I was staying for only 1 night on the weekend. Booked a room with buffet breakfast for an additional $10/ person, so worth it! Food are plentiful, good quality, egg station & great service. I didn't see any fridge in the room but I overheard at the lobby that you can request one if available. The gym is great, 3 treadmills, 3 ellipticals and 2 bikes, with a little weight station and benches. We also used the pool, which comes with a lifeguard. It is a little bit intimidating to have someone stare at you in a little indoor pool and I don't think it's that deep either, probably about 4ft-ish.
Oh and the hot tub, is everyone's favorites.

The hotel has lots of meeting/function room and there was some sort of class reunion that took place during our stay but we didn't encounter any noise problem.

Short walk to the Mall for shopping and dinner option.

Would stay here again.
