It was very nice. The lack of Internet, however, is annoying.

Positives: Very clean. Nice rooms.

Negatives: Internet didn't work. Marriott has problems with connectivity with Windows 7 operating system. Its not a new operating system anymore. Need to fix.

I booked two rooms for two nights well in advance and called the same day to request two double beds in each room. I was traveling with three other male relatives and obviously we did not wish to share beds while sleeping. Upon arrival I was notified only one of the rooms would be double and the other a single king. What was really irritating was the supervisor questioning my honesty when I said I had been assured by their staff by phone that the request had been granted. Oh well. Other than that the general staff was helpful.

Positives: It was neat and clean, most of the staff was friendly.

Negatives: I thought the desk supervisor upon checking in was quite cold and unhelpful.

Positives: Lake view room was beautiful and service desk was excellent.

Negatives: Cant think of anything.

Hotel was undergoing some construction during our stay. The beds were not the most comfortable. The feather top mattress had quills sticking me a night and were not well fitted to the mattress. The view was great and the location could not be beat for great selection of dining and shopping. Easy access to I-270 and I-370.

Positives: Great view, great location for dining and shopping.

Negatives: The beds had feather tops that were poking me and were not well fitted to the mattress.

Although I called the hotel a week in advance and confirmed a room with two double beds, it was not available upon arrival. The hotel was completely booked due to a soccer tournament and they could not switch my room. They offered a roll away bed and one complimentary breakfast as a consolation.

Positives: Conveniently located to shops and highway.

Negatives: Room keys kept deactivating.

Positives: The hotel was recently remodeled. It has a fresh, new feel.

Near to many attractions and not too far from metro for access to downtown DC.

Good for business travelers to the I-270 high technology corridor in the Northern Washington suburbs. Extensive conference facilities and wide ranging of dining options within walking distance in a pleasant lifestyle mall setting.

Positives: Proximity to restaurants.

Negatives: High cost internet access.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 10 Sep 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Very clean with a friendly and helpful staff. The Marriott Rio location is right in the heart of the business corridor of I-270 and equally accessible to a variety of shopping and entertainment in the Washington, DC suburbs.

Positives: Convenient location for business, driving distance to DC, shopping. Local shopping and restaurants as well.

Negatives: Entrance isn't easy to locate.

Fantastic value in posh Washingtonian mall area on man-made lake with paddleboats and geese. Great hotel for business or pleasure.

Positives: The view of the lake is fantastic.

Negatives: No shuttle service is the only thing needed.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Very nice hotel in a corporate park setting. Sits on a man-made pond with a lot of decent restaurant choices and a movie theatre. Breakfast menu very limited and expensive. The buffet is also a choice, also expensive ($20) but is also above average in terms of choices. I would certainly stay here again.

Positives: Nearby attractions.

Negatives: Expensive breakfast.

Positives: Location was convenient to walk to restaurants.

Negatives: Never had enough towels for family of 4.

Perfectly suitable for our purposes. We had called ahead about the microwave/refrigerator and were told it would be in the room. It was not and took 2 phone calls and a stop at the front desk to get them in the room. There is no continental breakfast at this hotel. Location is great for access to I270.

Positives: Location, refrigerator and microwave at no additional charge.

Negatives: Took two phone calls and a stop at desk to get microwave and refrigerator. A small table and chairs would be nice.
