    Nice Hotel, Poor Service

    Poor service for the most part, especially at breakfast. Felt like they were doing you a favor taking your order or clearing a table. One waitress was very good, but most were quite sour faced. Requested an extra blanket 3 times before it was finally sent. Checkout also wasn’t a very nice experience they were busy doing other things. Feels like they may be understaffed and/or underpaid so they are sour. All in all might come again due to Metro and rooms being nice but will look for other options first. Expected more from such a hotel.

    Direct access to metro, large comfortable hotel, large room and nice quality, nice turn down service, accommodating and nice valets. Ana from Marriott Bonvoy was lovely and very helpful.

    The hotel is very good. Unfortunately, the exchange rate of the real against the dollar (U$1.00 - R$7.00), at the time of our stay, was a little discouraging.

    We didn't have breakfast at the hotel, as we thought it was expensive (around US$14.00). On the same street of the hotel, you can have breakfast/lunch and dinner at the Whole Fodds supermarket - 6 min walk, at a cheaper cost - it's worth the trip to the supermarket. The hotel is near a subway station (Crystal City), which made the going to the city's museums much easier. And it's also close to the Pentagon Center shopping mall. I'd do like to thank all employers for the wonderful time we have.

    Very little food option in the property. At least more restaurants should be there for lunch dinner and snacks.

    When we arrived we were given a room that was not what I had ordered, but the staff eventually took care of it and switched us. Could not find the hair dryer, but noticed when we left it was tucked away in the closet. The fridge was not very cold, we needed ice packs and had no way to keep them frozen. And one night I was bitten by what I suspect was a spider, had 8 bites on my legs.

    Getting to where we needed to go was convenient to the Metro service.

    Need USB charging points in the room and an alarm clock from this decade--the one provided was 20 years old.

    Very helpful staff when I had to check in well after midnight after getting stranded by closure of Hertz car rental agency at National Airport. Bed was comfortable and room was feather free. A/C worked well.

    There should be a microwave in the room. I needed it for my medication and heat pad and was shocked such a pricey hotel did not have such a courtesy. Finding business meeting rooms was extremely confusing. The worst I have ever encountered.

    The location was fine, but the parking garage is very poorly marked. Very hard to figure out how to get out. Signs were tiny and the $45 per day charge outrageous.

    I had to move rooms 3 times before I finally got a allergy free room. The king rooms are small and creepy, there is a hall before entering to room itself. I don’t understand this. Also the Wi-Fi was not included in the room rate, I thought it was per the description of the room. And they don’t tell you until you check out and you see the bill. $12 a day for each person. If you join their club it’s free. Shady. Nothing is included. For a classy hotel it was pretty sad. Not even coffee n the morning. I was getting coffee out of the machine and was rudely informed that it was not free. I knew and was going to pay. But to be so rude. Oh, parking is a whopping $45 a day.

    It was clean and maid service everyday which is rare these days. Beds very comfortable. Most of the front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, my son lives right across the street!
