ريزيدنس إن باي ماريوت واشنطن، دي سي...

First arrived at hotel and checked in. Went to enter our room to find other people in there. They double booked our room. We then moved rooms. We got to the room and it was hot. We set the AC and went sight seeing. When we returned the room was still hot. We then had to switch rooms again. Now saying all that, the staff was amazing in rectifying the situation.

We looked for a reasonably priced Marriott near the zoo and this one came up. It is walking distance from many restaurants and shops. We had a one-bedroom with kitchenette on an upper floor and definitely appreciated the full refrigerator! Despite the overall room size, the bedroom only had a queen bed. The living/dining area was roomy and comfortable. Maybe some of that space, or closet space, could have been used to squeeze a king bed into the bedroom. The lighting in the kitchenette was inadequate. This, some of the decor, and the a/c unit that was noisy enough to wake me up at 2:30 AM, didn’t impress me. There is onsite parking in an underground private garage but it is cramped for a larger vehicle like our van. I priced other parking but there aren’t many convenient and/or safe options nearby. Their parking is $50/night plus a parking tax for a total of $62.50/night! Their complimentary breakfast is nice and has some good variety so that’s worth a lot in this part of DC. - i.e. helps make up for some of the parking cost.

Clean facility, very helpful staff, close to restaurants and other attractions
