Courtyard

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 03 Jun 2011 rated 6 out of 10.

Room had a bad smell & we had to deodorize it, there was no frig in our room, we were told that we would get one, but it took a day. The handle came off our door. We had to make repeated calls for clean towels, the parking lot didn't supply enough parking spots for guest over the holiday weekend. The positive of the hotel was the price &location to the metro train.

Positives: Price.

Negatives: Smell of room, and customer service of the staff.

The room was just wonderful. Very lovely decor and laid out perfectly. It was quiet and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only downside to this hotel was the "restaurant". We ate breakfast there. The service was slow and the food quality was poor.

Positives: Room was lovely, comfortable, and very clean.

Negatives: Hotel "restaurant" was way below average. Food quality was poor.

Positives: Very clean and modern. Very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: No full size restaurant.

The hotel was clean and met my expectations in that aspect. I requested a wake-up call and didn't get it. However, the front desk clerk was very apologetic and comp'd me a free breakfast.

Positives: The desk clerk was very accommodating.

Negatives: The location, and I would have liked a sit-down restaurant.

I really liked the hotel. Lots of positives. My only drawbacks was that there wasn't a pool/hot tub. The food area was nice and convenient (counter service vs a sit down formal restaurant), but a bit overpriced. But isn't that usually the case with hotels? Please note: there is a lot of construction going on the highways and streets making navigation a bit difficult, but that's not the hotel's fault. very close to Metro if you're not driving with a free hotel shuttle to the station which is only about 0.5 miles away.

Positives: Nice decor, clean facilities, close to metro, fitness room and

Negatives: No pool and

Good value for the price and convenient to DC.

Positives: Convenient to the Metro.

Negatives: No continental breakfast and no patio area for relaxing outside.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 22 Mar 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The staff elevator was the only functioning elevator. You were able to use it going up, but no access to it going down. Major inconveniences to checkout if you stayed up on higher floor.

<BR/>

Positives: Upgraded and clean.

Negatives: All elevators were broken except staff elevator.

Nice hotel, however front desk was not sympathetic about another guest coming in our room while we were in it, before checkout this happened at 10:30. checkout is 12. they said they thought the room was vacant, they should not have come in before checkout, I had the do not enter sign on the door.

Positives: Clean nice amenities.

Negatives: Room was cleaned before we left, front desk was not sympathetic.

Nice place to stay when visiting DC. Close to Old Town in Alexandria, VA where you can dine, shop and have great views of the Potomac River.

Positives: Good price, clean, free shuttle to Old Town, free parking too

Negatives: No free breakfast, no pool, shuttle ends at 1030 pm

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 19 Apr 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

We were very pleased and would stay again. The staff was wonderful and the shuttle was great. The staff gave us great directions with map three times.

Positives: Shuttle to metro, coffee in lobby, great directions provided.

Negatives: No indoor pool, no HDTV, and no free breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 16 Apr 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

The staff was very nice. The shuttle took us to Metro and King Street any time we wanted. I didn't like that it wasn't really in Old Town, nor walkable to Old Town. The room was wonderful. I didn't like the price of breakfast and they kind of have you there as there is no where else to eat. The lack of a pool was another negative.

Positives: The room was very nicely done.

Negatives: The price of the breakfast buffet was ridiculous.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Apr 2009 rated 5 out of 10.

All in all, we had an average stay. We were under the impression that breakfast was included, which it was not and quite pricey. Our room was between the elevator and a housekeeping storage room so it was quite noisy. Additionally, they were doing some work on the hotel, which resulted in loud noises until about 5:30 PM.

Positives: Room decor is very nice.

Negatives: Very loud.

Front desk was very courteous and helpful when we had to call for directions and to ask that we were okay to arrive after 10 pm. Shuttle service to the train station was constant, and we never waited more than 5 minutes. As soon as our train arrived we called for the shuttle (hotel only half a mile away). Less than 25 minutes to the (monuments) mall in DC, very convenient for leisure traveler. Nothing better than a clean, comfortable bed in a safe neighborhood. Designer quality upgrades. I would use this hotel again.

Positives: Down pillows and duvet, wonderful. Clean. Newly decorated/renovated.

Negatives: You can't walk to the subway from the hotel (no pedestrian access to the overpass). Only about a half mile, but 'you can't get there from here.'

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 25 Feb 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

My husband and I were in Alexandria for a conference. The hotel was convenient to the conference location. We have recommended the hotel to a friend who is going up next month.

Positives: I appreciated the public spaces for doing work. The chairs were comfortable and the space was quiet.

Negatives: The parking lot is long and you are angled the wrong way to park if you come in the front entrance.

We wasted quite a bit of time driving around trying to find it. The hotel and room were fine but shuttle service was not very helpful. When we needed a morning shuttle (with our luggage) to get to the airport for an 8 am flight, we were told the shuttle wasn't running yet. When we asked for a shuttle to bring us back from dinner, we were told the shuttle had stopped running for the evening.

Positives: WiFi in rooms.

Negatives: Poor shuttle service, doesn't start until 6:30 am, stops by 10:30 pm. Difficult to catch early flights.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 06 Sep 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

Average for a Courtyard. Difficult to access. First room had wet mattress. Switched rooms to one with constant bathtub faucet drip. Begs question of maintenance. Well lighted parking below hotel.

Positives: Size of room.

Negatives: Had to switch rooms because mattress was wet.

Negatives: No free breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 04 Sep 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

The stay was okay, I had a problem with my room card three times it appeared to be deactivated. The staff was nice and friendly, but it was just inconvenient. Breakfast was quite expense and two lights/lamps had shorts in them. Free internet was nice. Two minutes away from the movie theatre.

Positives: The name Marriott and room was clean.

Negatives: Lights were missing; no pool; limited channels on TV.

Overall, the hotel was very nice. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. My only complaint is that they tested the fire alarm at 2 in the morning.

Positives: The room and hotel were very clean and the staff was friendly.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

There was a fire alarm went off at 2 AM one night and we all had to get out. The hotel front desk told us that it was a test. Then in the morning, they said it was a false alarm but not a test.

Positives: Price is right.

Negatives: There is no sign and it is a little difficult to find.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Great hotel to stay at if your are looking for affordability in the Washington, DC area. Very close to Whole Foods Market in Old Towne Alexandria if you have a car. You could also walk to Whole Foods if you are a walker.

Positives: The hotel has free internet in the rooms for your laptop, close to Metro, and Washington, DC.

Negatives: The bed was hard, one computer in the business center, and no swimming pool.
