Charlie-MikeJanuary 27, 2017Beautiful hotel, with friendly staff. I was only there for a meeting, but I loved the atmosphere and location is great if you want to be by Reagan International
The staff here is very nice and professional..the rooms and beds are extremely comfortable..and the location can't be beat. Direct access to the Metro and less than 10 min from Reagan Airport.
Gym is on 2F of the Capital Tower, nicely equipped with LifeFitness treadmills and free weights. Earphones, towels, water and apples provided. Also on 2F are washer and dryers you can use for free!- Christina ChinOctober 24, 2017Nice hotel, underground tunnels so you never need to see light of day to get around crystal city. The breakfast is pretty good and decent spread
- Excellent location connected to Crystal City Shops underground - nice in the winter. Free shuttle to and from DCA.
- Miguel De LeonJanuary 7, 2013Very comfortable beds and staff is very friendly. Wifi is comped for elite members. Rooms are awesome!
- For early checkin, use the Marriott app to check in and set your arrival time. I was able to get into my room at 9am.
Jo PoAugust 26, 2016Try the Cherry Blossom Martini by Marco, who's been working at the Marriott for over 10 years
- Get 500 extra Marriott Rewards points per day, up to 3 days max, if you decline housekeeping by hanging the sign on your door.
Jeff IsraelSeptember 23, 2013Mobile check-in was flawless. Room keys burned and ready on arrival, no waiting in line after traveling all day. Will definitely take advantage of this again.
Angel BOctober 9, 2012Need to park at DCA? Reserve a garage spot here and prepay online. You can take the free hotel shuttle to airport. Cheaper than DCA economy, which often fills up.
Rita LassiterAugust 16, 2012You absolutely must visit Restaurant Mza. The food is phenomenal ! Get the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding :-).
Make sure you're at the right Marriott. There are 3 withinwalking distance in Crystal City.
PeterApril 30, 2013If you park here for DCA, there are bathrooms just up the escalators at the Arlington Tower garage. EasyParkFly.com $6.50 a day
Overall, very nice hotel. Beds are heavenly. Housekeeping forgot to do a few things, but laying in that bed makes up for it!
Hot Diva 63September 16, 2013The view from my room is great. The beds are comfortable. Will be back again.- Hot Diva 63September 19, 2013Had a great stay. Beds were comfortable. Had free wi-fi in my room. Will be back again.
Easy access to metro and underground shops. Grab a sandwich at Potbelly nearby if you're hungry.
Sara GMarch 8, 2014$5.99 airport parking with a shuttle to dca if you pre pay online. Restrooms on the 2nd floor with all the conference rooms.
Such a friendly staff! Marco at atrium pours a great blue moon and guinness!
Matt BApril 7, 2013As to the wifi - ask for free access in the room and the staff is usually providing it.
Brand new Einstein's Bagels in the lobby. Extra expensive because "it's inside the hotel." Slow service, there's a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts in the shops that are cheaper and faster.
Megan Brenner CarpenterMarch 8, 2013If you complain at desk in a firm but polite manner , they may remove internet charges. My roommate. & I were both being charged. , but only one at a time could get on internet
George BrettDecember 13, 2011There are 12 hour parking spaces at $1.00/hour across the street. Cheaper for daily meetings that hotel parking.
Design VibezAugust 17, 2011"Fire" by Christine Hayman is one of a cluster of Art Walls right within sight - don't skip any!
- George BrettDecember 13, 2011Focusing on digital repositories. People are waking up to how we are going to access all this info years from now.
Rachel HowellMarch 22, 2012Check food labeling carefully at conferences. They seem to think bacon in sandwiches is vegetarian
Tasha AoaehAugust 13, 2015Bright side, one block away from decent restaurants. The rooms were meh. The bedding could have been a little crisper.
ToddDecember 14, 2010rooms have wired connections, mine was not functioning, but my friends was fine. they have all of the cabling in the desk, very nice
If you are here for meetings, wear layers - the conference rooms can get very cold.
Andrea LittlefieldMay 20, 2013In this day and age to have to pay for WiFi is inexcusable. Sketchy coverage in the lobby for free. Staff is pretty unhelpful. I hope never to have to stay here again.
Manko EponymousMay 5, 2013Paid $175 for this conference, $20 for parking and $3 for a soda, but wifi's am extra fee? No way.
LyndieOctober 25, 2011Typical Marriott charges $12.95 PER DAY for wifi. Even though it's most Marriotts- still inexcusable.
