We came from South Carolina to Gaithersburg MD and stayed at this hotel for 4-5 days and absolutely loved it.
Pros:

The Location, Staff, Cleanliness and overall experience of this hotel is very unmatched. This was my first time ever in my 36 years visiting Gaithersburg MD and I absolutely loved everything about it and in it. This Hotel is a 10/10 in my eyes. My wife and I are traveling all over the U.S trying different cities and hotels and this hotel is our 14th Hotel Experience by Far the best Hotel so far we’ve experienced. The staff made our stay THE BEST! From when first arrived at 1 a.m you would’ve thought it was 1 p.m the type of energy we was greeted with and they way they made our stay so easy and relaxing.

Cons:

I don’t have any negative thoughts at all of this place.

everything I needed, comfortable, helpful, friendly staff
Pros:

Would prefer a buffet style breakfast - quicker, but the food was excellent and the staff so helpful and friendly

Cons:

Hotel feels a bit tatty round the edges but is perfectly acceptable for a work trip

Just a short stay option - be ready not like a real Marriot
Pros:

Still ok condition of the TV which has YouTube and Netflix.

Cons:

Outdated rooms, overpriced, a small pick up point next to reception isn’t saving a very unstructured serving approach.

Stay was good. Charges were ridiculous by the agent
Pros:

The hotel itself

Pros:

When I checked in, no one went over the amenities that were available to me so I didn’t have access to the menu of the tiki bar that was downstairs overtime they actually closed. if I didn’t capture the information in the elevator, I would have no knowledge becausethere’s nothing written in the rooms
