Courtyard by Marriott Washington, DC/Foggy Bottom

Fall break with my high school son for some sight seeing. Loved Washington DC! Weather was great! Awesome trip to take your family and experience history and government and why our country is so great! Courtyard had a good price for the location. You are going to pay a lot for any hotel close to the Mall monuments, but this seemed like a good price for a recognizable hotel brand name. The staff was very friendly and helpful, place was kept up well and clean. Location is the best part, it is a couple of blocks from the Mall and museum campus like a lot of the hotels but I also was surprised how much I liked the neighborhood. It is basically in a college campus - GWU - which I liked. It felt very safe and lots of college students walking around with a nice well kept/secure campus. Several nice restaurants next to campus also, Circa, Dish, District Commons, Founding Farmers. I would definitely stay at Courtyard next time visiting DC.

Hotel was beautiful but I would simply not stay at this hotel because the valet drivers like to take people's nice cars and act like they are race cars going through the garage. Then when one of them pulled up to me he had the nerve to floor the gas peddle and rev my engine and get out and say I like your vehicle. After talking to the manager at the hotel he simply said "so your worried about the excessive reving of the vehicle" like I shouldn't have been bothered by what they were doing to my vehicle, and all he offered to do was talk to the valet workers and drive my car through the garage himself safely. If im going to pay $42 a night to park my vehicle, I expected the up most respect for my vehicle.

We went to DC because my husband needed an emergency passport to get to his brother’s funeral. The staff was so very accommodating that it made my visit there wonderful and easy to do. The question of a late checkout because I can’t walk far or stand for long so I needed to be there longer than noon was granted without hesitation. The restaurant staff was wonderful as was housekeeping. I felt well taken care of by everyone I came in contact with. My husband and daughter did the passport office and were able to escape for a few hours to the Smithsonian museum for a few hours while the passport was being processed. And they came back and I was waiting in the beautiful lobby for them after I checked out. It was such a wonderful stay in a lovely hotel! I even managed to have a swim in their indoor pool. All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone!!

Hotel is OK. Located pretty close to Mall However if you looking for any entertainment in the evening you will probably be better served by booking some place else. The only food we found at 11pm was some snacks in the hotel shop. Now, here comes the biggest catch parking is complete ripoff. First it is 42$ per night. We parked car in thew garage around 1.30am and took it out around 9pm next day. Not only we were charged 42$ for the day we were also charged extra $25 for the "extra day" even though car was barely 19 hours in the garage. Based on the stuff explanation they count 7pm asa start of a next night. This is not a killer but extremely annoying. And, BTW, u cant find any parking around. So net-net hotel is OK, stuff .. egh can be better. Will def look for another hotel next time

We (three of us) stayed for three nights. The first night was fine. The bathroom had two complimentary shampoos and conditioners along with two bars of soap. The second night we left with one of each. The third night when we got back to our room (after 5 o'clock) the room was not cleaned and beds were not made. There was a signed on the door knob saying "IN" (what does that mean). Did the cleaning service knock on the door for cleaning the room? We called down to the service desk and were told he cleaning service has gone home and the only thing they could do for us was to give us clean towels and empty the trash cans. We got no complimentary supplies to go with our towels. For the price we paid for the room each night, we were very disappointed. I will never stay at another Courtyard Marriott. This was my first and last time.
