Courtyard by Marriott Waldorf

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever been to. The maids left used wash cloths in the bathroom the bathroom door never shut it was broke and the toliet never flushed it kept coming back up you had to hold it so it can flush never again I stayed on Valentine’s Day ot just ruined our stay never again !!!

Having visited this establishment, I’d have to say that it is near quite a few amenities in a growing city. The hotel is hidden near a major highway but close enough to get what you need, if you need something.
Staff — Yes. The staff was very helpful in assisting me in getting my room, extending my checkout time and obtaining a new key when the key I was using stopped working. The staff went the extra mile to ensure customer care and it appeared the staff had things in hand.
Cleanliness — Yes. The room was very nice… mirrors other Courtyard Marriott hotels… weird, but I suppose mirroring its other hotels assists in returning guests find their way??? The room was very clean and well kept. No issues there. If I was to complain about anything regarding the hotel it would be the parking lot. There was definitely a lack of attention to this as there was trash scattered throughout the lot and surrounding the sides of the building. Not very appealing or attractive.
Amenities — Yes. As previously stated, there are lots to do in the surrounding area… if you have transportation. Otherwise, your stuck at the hotel or walking through parking lots or alongside a busy highway (which does have a sidewalk but the area isn’t the best place to walk alone).
Location — Yes/​No. Although in a hidden location off a major highway, the area is not the best location where I saw many people walking around. I was outside my car getting stuff into the trunk when I was approached by two men who wanted to know if I was interested in giving them money to get a tattoo… weird request. I was dressed in fatigues and so they didn’t really make too much of a stink when I told them no. They assumed I was military and walked over to another person who was waiting in the car and on the phone. Nothing happened, but I suppose when you’re in a not-​so-​nice neighborhood, what do you expect?
Security — Yes/​No. Yes… for the fact that all rooms were indoors so no bystanders walking by had direct access to the rooms. I felt safe in the room. No… the area is not the best in terms of criminal activity. As mentioned above, I was approached for them to ask me for money. Being outside several times over a few days, I felt I had to be on-​guard every time I step foot in the hotel parking lot.
Overall — Yes. There is not much a hotel can do to prevent criminal activity. The rooms were very nice and clean. The staff was very knowledgeable and helped where they could to assist its customers. My reason for 4 out of 5 stars is due to the security concerns and the trash scattered throughout the property.

Where do I start? These 2 stars are solely for the young lady working the front desk overnight. I booked a room here for the weekend in celebration of my boyfriend’s birthday. Keep in mind I booked this room 3 weeks in advance. Upon our arrival, we walk into a room that’s completely not what I reserved. I asked for a room with a King bed & sofa bed and received a room with two queen beds instead. We were told all the King bed rooms have sold out.
We decided to just deal with it and spend our romantic evening sharing one of the queen beds. After looking around the room, I began to notice little things. I have attached some pictures for you guys. We went downstairs around 11pm to check out the whirlpool, just to discover that they close everything at 10pm. Yet another romance fail.
So due to the room inconvenience, they promised us free breakfast the next morning. We go down to check out breakfast the next morning to discover the café is closed because they are short staffed! At this point I’m pissed and the girl at the front desk is nice enough to take $ 27 off my bill for the inconvenience… Lesson of the day: You get what you pay for. If you want a nice room, put up the money!

Likes:
–The layout of our room… things are functionally separated. The fridge is NOT inside a cabinet under the TV. It has its own little spot with the microwave and coffee maker.
–Love the style of the rooms. The closet is made out of wood and has sections for stuff.
–The bathroom is also nice. I usually have something to say about how ridiculous the bathroom is layed out… like how they have the toilet partially under the sink… or how it’s too close to the bath tub… etc. But this bathroom, I can’t find anything I dislike.
–Free fast wifi. It’s not like the other hotel’s that takes forever to open a page.
Dislike:
–Small fridge. I guess you won’t notice how tiny the fridge is unless you stay for a while. :/​
–There was only three pillows on our bed. I guess that’s their thing for double queen beds. It’s a minor thing that can be remedied by asking the front desk. But I’m just saying how they only had three pillows rather than the regular four pillows.
–There is no mirror besides the ones inside the bathroom. I didn’t mind it at first, but it became ridiculous especially when everyone is trying to get ready.

This Courtyard is in a good location and is only a few miles always from the rail station into DC. The hotel room I had was clean and well maintained. One of the first things I check when getting a room is the bathroom and bedding. Both were spotless. The only drawback for this Courtyard was the top floor rooms are noisy in the summer. The large AC units on the roof seem to be anchored to the core beams without noise dampers which makes some rooms in the center of the building quite loud. So beware. I had to change my room because of the noise level. Other than that I will definitely stay here on my next visit this fall.

Enjoyable stay. Everything was extremely clean. Friendly staff. Free wifi is always a bonus. This is my preferred brand because no matter what state I’m in they never fail to disappoint.

94 $ for a suite? Count me in…
My room was larger than I expected. You walk in the door and there is a small hallway. On the left there is a large bathroom with glass shower doors and plenty of storage. Between the bathroom and bed area is the microwave and mini fridge. Beyond that is the bed, couch, tv, and closet area.
The bathroom at this location was much better than the previous Marriott I stayed in. Everything was clean and had no major complaints with the room.
The free wifi and HD cable are definitely bonuses. There are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat in the area as well.
The only negatives were the fact that the ice machine was broken (no biggie) and someone was smoking in a room nearby. It was definitely seeping through to our room. I could’ve sworn that smoking wasn’t allowed but I guess they ignored that part…
All in all I had a pleasant stay here and would certainly book again!

I’ve stayed at this Courtyard several times before and it’s one of my favorites. Very clean room, trendy setup and great desk/​work area. Not to mention a nice HD TV.
Staff is always professional and helpful. Location is easy to get too and there is tons of options for eating /​quick shopping trips.
The only thing holding them back is the always sluggish internet access. It’s not very dependable regardless of wifi of network cable. Often a mifi or wireless card is considerably faster. However, it is at least Free.
