Pros:

Great staff at check in. Overall great.

Cons:

The bed in room 911 next to the wall was a bit more compressed towards the other bed. You may want to rotate the mattress.

Always a Enjoyable Stay!!
Pros:

Return stay at this very convenient and comfortable hotel. Great location for business or pleasure. Inside connection to Metro station for easy travel throughout DC and VA area. Free airport shuttle. Marriott Lounge offered great breaksfast, evening food and all day beverages. Staff was personable and great at their jobs. Special recognition to Asst. Front Desk Manager, Blandell, who insured our room needs were met.

Great hotel close to Metro and downtown Arlington
Pros:

I liked the fact that the hotel is around the corner from the Crystal City Metro station. The station is also accessible via the Crystal City Mall underpass.

The hotel is top-notch, with top-notch front desk, cleaning, bell service, and restaurant/bar staff. It is a short walk from a CVS, a 7-11, a park, and a movie theater.

The restaurant/bar staff were awesome. Kudos to those who waited on us Friday and Saturday night, as well as the waitress and the bartender on Sunday afternoon.

Cons:

It rained on Sunday morning! However, the hotel does not control the weather!

It was kind of hard to find the microwave. My partner and i had to hunt to find it.

Very nice stay, albeit expensive for what you get.
Pros:

The shower was hot, even after all four of us used it. Every staff member we came in contact with were friendly and warm. The room was very clean and you couldn't hardly tell the proximity to the airport. Breakfast staff were wonderful and the food was pretty good, although we felt it was overpriced.

Cons:

The A/C ambient noise probably helped not being able to hear traffic, airport, hotel noise, etc. The bed we had was probably close to needing replaced, as there was a clear human shaped hole on one side of the mattress that caused the lighter person in the bed to roll down into the heavier all night. While I recognize supply/demand and time of year, the parking cost (54 a day after tax) on top of the already expensive 2 night stay, I feel like a discount from the posted daily rate when staying at the hotel would be an incentive.

Don't stay here management never calls u back if u have an issue! I'm so disappointed with Marriott and their la
Pros:

I never stayed. I didn't utilize the property and management has yet to call me back about my refund that should've been sent to Booking.com and canceled properly.

Cons:

What I don't like about the property is how difficult it is to contact management and speak to a manager at the front desk and reservations. Housing made service. You can't reach a manager anywhere and if I can't reach a manager, I'll never need to stay at property where you can't reach a manager this is sad and unprofessional. I've been trying to reach Mr. Seymour for days. He never calls me back.

lovely hotel experience
Pros:

Aster was a wonderful server in the downstairs restaurant. I think we must have visited three or four times. The braised ribs are amazing! My husband also loved the seafood stew. I also had a nice Mediterranean appetizer. Thank you to Christabel Green, the Food and Beverage Manager, for also being so kind. Sabrina were also very kind and hats off to Ziyad, one of the most absolute sweetest front desk agent I have ever met. Juana was a great housekeeper, too.
