Marriott is generally assumed to be a step above the rest but I was somewhat disappointed with the Washington Marriott. While the room was clean and the bedding extremely comfortable, other aspects of this hotel were less impressive. To begin with, the room was extremely small with entirely too much furmiture. It might be OK for a single traveler, but wuth two of us in the room, we could barely pass each other. Additionally, the ceiling plaster was cracked and damaged. The elevators were EXTREMELY slow and to make things worse, only one of three elevators was working on Saturday. It was not unusal to wait 5 minutes for the elevator and by that time, so many people had gathered that the elevator became overcrowded because you didn't want to have to wiat another five minutes for it to return. The hotel staff was OK but not overly welcoming like they are at Hotel Palomar and Jury's Washington. Overall, Washington Marriott is just OK but not one of my favorites in DC. I'd try Hotel Palomar, Jury's Washington or Residence Inn Dupont instead.
