Overall a nice hotel to stay. Great convenient location on the harbor. Across the street from the Gaylord. Nice water view from our room. The included continental breakfast was surprisingly decent. Elevators are slow especially if your room is on the 7th floor. 24$ daily parking in the Mariner garage directly behind the hotel. Bed and pillows were slightly uncomfortable. Couch was very uncomfortable. Conveniently has a kitchenette with a microwave and Full sized fridge with ice maker. Bathroom was clean and had full sized eucalyptus lavender shampoo, conditioner, and body wash which was a plus. Hotel was quiet. Would stay here again in the future.
The rooms were okay. A/C was loud. The beds comfy. Housekeeping efficient. Along with a small kitchen, there is a full-size refrigerator and microwave in the room. The first night the A/C didn't work. This is not good during a heat wave! The next morning we asked the front desk for a fan. They immediately sent someone to reset the A/C. For us, the area around the Marriott was geared for the convention/conference crowd, not families on vacation or families with small children. It's a great venue if you're attending a conference or convention, but not for a family vacation.
Overall a decent experience. Parking was $23 per night at a parking garage across the street. Pet fee is $200. Pros: Breakfast was included. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance and it is in a nice area of town. Room was clean and in good condition. Cons: Mattresses are pretty firm and my back did not appreciate it. Sofa was also horribly uncomfortable to sit on. There is no pool or jacuzzi. Breakfast was a bit sad, the eggs were really rubbery and overcooked and the muffins were gummy on top and dry in the middle. There is no social hour offered at this property (unlike every other Residence Inn I've been to).
Beware. All rooms are King beds with a couch. The problem is the website doesn't note that. (At least we didn't see it). Rooms were clean though and the staff was friendly. Everything had to be charged to the hotel too. Parking was convenient though. I would recommend this property to couples or travelers without kids. The Westin and Comfort Inn gives a better bang for your back as it relates to space and room types but Residence Inn has a kitchenette
The location is great. We stayed here because we had plans in both Alexandria VA and Washington DC. This location was near both. We could get into Alexandria in 10 minutes by car and DC within 15 minutes. The staff was very friendly and kind. Everyone we encountered was helpful. We had no issues with service at all. The hotel is well maintained. It's exactly what you would expect from a Marriott. The room was clean when we arrived and was cleaned daily by the time we returned to the room. The beds were comfortable the pillows not so much. I had no issues during our stay. I really liked the security features at the hotel. You cannot enter the hotel or use the elevator without a room key card. The location couldn't be beat. National Harbor is fantastic. So much to do and lots of good restaurants in walking distance.
