Negatives: Paid for parking.

The hotel was excellent. Great suite. I am not used to such a grand hotel where you had to pay to park you car, no free Internet that was extra, no microwave in the room but it did have a bottle of water that if you used it<BR/> was $4.50. Get rid of the water and add Internet.

Positives: The suite was upscale.

Negatives: No free wifi had to purchase separate had to pay for parking.

I like the hotel very much, but I hope never to stay there again. The location is poor for a business traveler without access to a car, as I was.

Positives: Good quality room, clean, spacious and overall very nice hotel.

Negatives: Location is terrible for the business traveler who does not have access to a car.

Loved the hotel but for DC tourism, not practical.

Positives: Comfortable suite accommodations.

Negatives: Too far from metro and restaurants.

Great hotel. Only complaint was they did not code our room key for parking and we could not get out of the garage. We could have paid with credit card but that cost $24. We went back inside and they coded the key. Then the fee is $12 per day.

Positives: Friendly atmosphere. Good cocktail hours. Convenient computer use.

Negatives: Surcharge parking. Room key must be coded.

I really enjoyed my stay.

Positives: Parking lot and hotel were connected via walkway so never outside in the rain.

Negatives: I would have liked a chocolate on my pillow at night with the bed turned down.

Large rooms, very clean common areas. Front desk staff are less than pleasant. Room staff were very nice.

Positives: Room was large &amp; clean.

Negatives: Parking is high.

The hotel met our expectations and the service was generally good. There was consistency issues with what they promised in terms of shuttle services and what was actually delivered. It was a bit difficult to travel to the metro lines and downtown Bethesda.

Positives: The price was good and the room was very good overall.

Negatives: Need to update the TVs.

Excellent location for visiting Chevy Chase/Rockville area.

Positives: Best hotel food I have ever had.

Negatives: No printer available.

The rooms were charming, spacious and clean. The service was so bad as to be almost unbelievable. The heating/air condition system had been purposely disabled (for the season - we were there in mid-May!) The toilet would not flush properly - it took four to six flushes for the bowl to empty. The sound system for the TV was defective and the cable channel offerings were ridiculously thin - only one premium channel. Even the pay for view option was like some backwoods town. Use of your own laptop computer costs $13 day. Towels and robes were removed from the room as used, but never replaced. Room/parking keys expired on the second day of a confirmed 6-day reservation; also on the fourth day. The food in the restaurant was so salty as to be inedible. The drinks in the bar were so watered down as to be unpalatable - picture a few melted ice cubes in diluted mix - no detectable alcohol. The requested newspaper (WSJ) piled up at the front desk but not once in 6 days could it be delivered to the room - but they went ahead and charged for that service! And, worst of all, all of these problems were brought to their attention and were responded to by surly, unwilling, ineffective staff. Nothing could get us back to this hotel, though we visit in the area at least once a year. This was our fifth visit there, but something in management must have changed. Never again.

Positives: Nice rooms, cheerful, clean, charmingly furnished.

Negatives: Rude, unresponsive service, bad food, no heat or air, non - working toilet.

Great for business traveler.

Negatives: Bed was too soft. Not good for my back.

Suburban luxury suite, at intersection of I-270 and Democracy. Classy hotel. Extra charges for parking and Internet access are a nuisance. Finally, a quiet in-room air conditioner! Excellent room layout, except need a door (like a pocket door?) between bed and vanity sink, so the first riser does not awaken the 2d riser).

Positives: Convenient, spacious room quiet air conditioner, safe big enough for laptop.

Negatives: No door between bed and tooth brushing sink, noisy for second riser.

Wonderful hotel, excellent room, French doors, view, wonderful exercise facilities, pool, treadmills, and weights.

Positives: Wonderful layout, beautiful rooms.

Negatives: Cannot get Marriott rewards points for stay.

Although located in a soulless office complex, this hotel is clean, well-designed, and features a very efficient, friendly staff. The experience was only marred by the dining, typical of captive audience meeting hotels. The first steak I was served was inedibly tough, with cold fries; the second tasteless. Entrees over $20 should be competently cooked.

Positives: Fantastic, friendly staff.

Negatives: Substandard dining. Badly prepared, tasteless.

We were very pleased with our experience at this hotel. The room was very spacious and had a great layout. We love the fact that there were French doors to separate the bedroom from the living room. The room also had a mini-fridge and we were able to get a microwave at no extra charge - always a plus when you travel with small children. The hotel also had an indoor/outdoor pool which was clean and always staffed with lifeguards on both sides. The staff and food at the restaurant were beyond our expectations - extremely friendly staff and great food. We will definitely come back to this hotel!

Positives: Thrilled with the spacious and efficient layout of the room.

Negatives: Nothing.

The Bethesda Marriott was a beautiful facility with hard-working professionals committed to making guests feel comfortable. The primary downside is that they did not have shuttle service to the airport nor to downtown Bethesda and taxi costs are exorbitant. I was not happy to be placed in a room near the cleaning room and not be warned about that. It was difficult to work or to rest during the day. Since my stay was short, I did not ask to be moved, but wish I had been told of the room location.

Positives: The hotel and restaurant staff worked very hard to be available and resolve questions.

Negatives: The hotel did not provide a shuttle to the airport nor to the business section of town.

Newly renovated hotel sitting in beautiful DC suburb. Short bus ride to/from Metro rail station. Approximately one hour Metro ride from Reagan National Airport. I would definitely stay here again.

Positives: Newly refurbished, helpful staff, transportation to/from Metro station.

Negatives: Not much within walking distance.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 10 Nov 2005 rated 10 out of 10.

Excellent.

Positives: I loved everything.

Negatives: There was nothing that I did not like.

As a frequent traveler to this area, it is substantially below the quality of this Marriott, the Marriot in Pooks Hill and the Hyatt, which are the other hotels that we usually stay in. This hotel has large rooms with French doors separating the bedroom from the living room area with a refrigerator. It is family friendly but you need a car to get to it. We have enjoyed our many stays there.

Positives: Large rooms, restaurant.

Negatives: Location not near Metro or downtown.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 09 Nov 2005 rated 10 out of 10.

Very comfortable bed. Very clean. Breakfast buffet good. Personnel polite and friendly.

Positives: Appealing decor in lobby & rooms. Suites.

Negatives: Did not like that there was an extra charge for parking.

I enjoyed my stay at the Bethesda Marriott. The staff did an excellent job, and the room was exactly what I was looking for. The in room safe was probably the biggest surprise, giving me a safe place to store my valuables while away from my room.

Positives: I like how comfortable the bed was. It was like sleeping on air.

Negatives: The food was good, but way overpriced.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 19 Oct 2005 rated 10 out of 10.

Comfortable, attractive, roomy. Rooms have refrigerator. Each room has a private balcony.

Positives: Most comfortable bed with good pillows, cotton sheeting and comforter, like being home.

Negatives: Access to internet was charged, most hotels I stay at have free internet service.

This hotel was a pleasure to stay in. My kids loved it and my wife was very pleased. The whole experience was nice except for paying for parking and the price for breakfast.

Positives: The rooms were fantastic.

Negatives: The cost of breakfast was too expensive.

We've stayed at this hotel several times now and have been pleased each time. The rooms are large, clean, and quiet. The staff is efficient and freindly. The location is not ideal for D.C. visiting but not all that bad especially if you use their shuttle service

Positives: Very nice hotel and polite staff

Negatives: Internet cost extra as is parking
