Reviews of Washington Marriott at Metro Center

• Roger from United States (9/10)

  The room itself was great. It was located right next to the Metro Center stop of the Metro which mad commuting real easy. The staff went out of their way to help. Even had umbrellas for use during an unexpected rain event. Really friendly to one and all that I observed.

• Rose from United States (7/10)

  Location

• Erika from United States (8/10)

  The location was great, although we had to pay for breakfast. I thought breakfast was included in the hotel deal. I really liked how the bathroom was, it was very clean! I like how they left us coffee so we could brew some the next day. The hotel staff were very friendly because I had lost my graduation ring at the pool and went down to the receptionist asking if they had found it and luckily they did! I was super excited! And thankful for the faculties!

• Sooyeon from Italy (9/10)

  Everything was great. I only wish that the receptionist upon our arrival was giving more information on the 25$ voucher we can use on a daily basis compensating the destination fee of 25$ per night plus tax. The girl told me the voucher was available on a daily basis but in fact it was equivalent to the number of nights we stayed . So we lost one day worth of voucher. Aside this, it was perfect and yes, it’s a bit more expensive than other places in the vicinity but worth it with the indoor pool especially for kids!

• Tracy from United States (9/10)

  While the hotel is nice on its own, the staff here are really what made my stay an exceptional one. I would happily stay here again if I'm back in the area!

• Carrie from United States (7/10)

• Stacy from United States (8/10)

  Great location for downtown DC. Room was really nice and a good size for the city. Bathroom was clean and updated. Even though we didn’t use it, nice to have a Starbucks in the lobby.

  Great location at the Metro Center station. Good restaurants nearby, especially Tatte Bakery & Cafe which has great food at reasonable prices. The staff were all very helpful, polite, and accessible.
