Usually a hotel is uniformly good, or uniformly bad. But the Marriott is a little perplexing. Great location. Solid service. Very nice rooms. Many conveniences in underground shops including Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts, a grocery store. When I went to work out which is important to me for business travel I could not believe how run down the health club was. Broken... more

My room was large, clean and comfortable. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job cleaning each day. The location is very convenient as the metro station is essentially attached to the hotel. It has a great fitness center that is open 24 hours. My only real complaint is that they charge for wireless internet ($13 day) in your room and... more

We went to Arlington to celebrate the engagement of my nephew and his fiance at the Army Navy Country Club. I got a room at the Marriott Crystal Gateway Hotel - very good move. It is a beautiful facility, the staff was unfailingly helpful. The room was beautiful, the bathroom was nicer than mine at home - it was huge,... more

I come to this hotel every year for a convention, the Hotel has maintained its high standards on each trip. Rooms are divided into two towers, I've stayed in both and the rooms are great. King size bed, lots of closet space and drawers. Plasma TV with good selection of stations. Bathroom a good size, well laid out. Restaurants are... more

This hotel is very large. The rooms are in one section, and the rest of the hotel gives you immediate access to the metro which can take you anywhere in Washington.. I paid $99.00 for the one night I stayed, which I thought was unbeatable. You also have to pay for parking, but you'll do that for any hotel in... more

Friends tell me the more expensive the hotel, the more likely the extra charges. While this is often not the case, The Marriott Crystal Gateway takes the cake when it comes to ripoff charges for use of their business center. When I sat down before one of the computers and read $7.50 for the first 15 minutes of Internet usage,... more

This hotel was recommended by a friend and we're sure glad we listened! On our first trip to Washington with the family this was a great hotel. The hotel is connected to the Metro system which was super easy to figure out. We parked the car (at $20 a night) and didn't need it until we checked out. The Metro... more

Hotel exceeded our expectations. We took the redeye to DC and the hotel shuttle picked us up at the airport (small van runs every 15 minutes between the 2 Marriott hotels and the airport - another group had to wait for the next pickup). We were able to check in early. King bed room was very nice: ample sized, comfy... more

Never in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine a Marriott hotel to be so unfriendly and unsympathetic after giving three of my family food poisoning on their first day with the hotel. Our first two days was supposed to include free breakfast for two people and boy if I could turn back time I would tell them to keep... more
