Courtyard by Marriott Washington, D.C./Foggy Bottom

Ignored request for adjoining rooms; Pool was small, no chairs, windowless, and never used; Back outdoor patio was filthy trash bucket was full and never emptied. Staff was argumentative over a breakfast bagel (needed manager). Not a good place to stay for vacationers.

The hotel did not notify us that the pool was closed until after they took our money. We also booked a balcony room which ended up looking at an internal courtyard of brick buildings. Wasn’t worth the extra money. We booked a king room with pull out bed sofa. We were staying with our child. I found the bedding for pull out but no pillows. When I called the front desk I was told there wasn’t any extra pillows. I complained. Called Hotels.com to complain. After about a hour the front desk person showed up with pillows and rolled her eyes at me… Nothing was done by hotel to make our stay right until after I sent an email to Marriott CEO! Then suddenly they started to treat us better, giving a gift basket to our son for the lack of pool. Hotel is under construction in lobby, pool and workout facility. I couldn’t find pool closure anywhere on web, which was a shame because it was the entire reason we picked this particular property. I even asked if they had an alternative which was met with a resounding no. Marriott customer liaison had me in tears just being super unhelpful. It’s like he was mad I wrote email to ceo. The hotel tried to make things better but for me it was too little too late.

very nice hotel and staff but pool was closed so my kids (who only came along for the pool) were bored and upset. There was no communication about the pool or an offer to comp for it being closed.

Great location, very clean and modern room, everything worked well. The view was of a brick wall from my 9th floor (top floor) room, but this is a city, so no surprise. Good value for price. High-quality and creative in-hotel dining available for breakfast and dinner, with plenty of seating and patio option. Compact lobby, decent pool and large fitness room in basement, along with guest laundry and garage. Overall, great value for the price, and outstanding location in central Washington, DC.

Wish the cafe/bar was open later on weekends. Calvert staff on checkout was rude

Although this hotel was under Reno’s when we were there the spaces we did access were very nice and clean. The bistro has delicious food, the valet parking was fast and easy, room attendants were great and the front desk staff was very helpful. We were compensated with a lower nightly rate as the pool temp was delayed and we didn’t have access to it. The Starbucks around the corner was very convenient and we were able to walk to the White House and the Mall pretty easily. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Hotel was in good condition and in a great location. We partially booked for a pool which was tiny and did not look well maintained. Also upgraded for a balcony which was in the interior of the building so no view. Staff seemed very short but everybody there was very polite and helpful.

Kids loved the pool.

The property was so convenient to walk to so many attractions, restaurants, and coffee shops. The parking fee is somewhat high per night ($56.00) but the valet staff were very nice as were the hotel front desk staff. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were very nice and the beds comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel!

Excellent location by George Washington University, 10 min walk to the National Mall. The rooms were clean and updated. We were very disappointed the pool was closed for maintenance for our whole stay. We booked specifically for access to the indoor pool for the kids. Other things that didn't work during our stay included the chromecast for the tv and the ice machine.

Clean room Good service Convenient location Walkable

The hotel was nice and clean. It was also rather close to the National Mall - use bikes or scooters if you’d like to tour the city without Uber. Housekeeping came every day to tidy up and the hotel staff was nice.

I live in southern Maryland. My sister was scheduled to have minor surgery - at 5:00 a.m. - at the hospital, three blocks away from the hotel. That said, I had no intention of leaving southern Maryland at 4 something in the a.m., so decided to make a reservation in the immediate area of the hospital. VERY beautiful interior: lobby, rooms (I want to remodel my bathroom like theirs; very nice), and the dining area. The front-desk personnel (ladies) were very groomed/attractive and professional. Although the hotel is located in the heart of downtown, it's on a street that every-so slightly out-of-the-way and blends in with the other high buildings (apartments, office buildings, etc.), but safe and clean. I definitely recommend (and I still want that bathroom design - lol)!!!

Excellent Hotel. Clean friendly staff

Not far from National Mall area. Room was clean and quiet.

Very clean and comfortable. We will be back.

Close to the monuments. Felt safe walking around outside hotel. Room and bathroom were clean. Two Garbage bags of towels and linens were in the hallway when we came home to the room after 8pm. This surprised us since the hotel was very clean. Almost like housekeeping forgot to pick them up. Didn’t really concern us. We were still very happy with our stay.

The lobby and dining area was under construction and the hotel did not provide room service. The fitness room had no equipment. The pool was supposed to be heated but felt cool. The room did not have complimentary items like toothpaste. And the bath tub and carpet appeared unclean.

Traveled with my husband and 2 kids. The staff was very friendly. Our room was ready upon arrival even though we were very early. The room was spacious and clean. The safe didn't work and there was no fan in the bathroom but it was a short stay so it was fine. The area was in a great location to all the sites. Definitely worth staying here for the location alone. There is a bar and an outdoor area that were very nice as well. Great hotel in Washington. I would definitely stay again.

Great location! However we seemed to have gotten the room with the worst view. Our view was a six story apartment building. I felt like I was in my own personal “Rear Window”. It became very claustrophobic. Staff could have been a bit more friendly.

The room was very comfortable, nice size, quiet floor. The bed was comfy and the pillows were very good. The room had a fridge, but no microwave, which would have helped. Otherwise I was very satisfied and would stay again. Bathroom was large, great shower and plentiful hot water. restaurant food was good, if not a large selection.

Hotel was nice, convenient, extremely $$$ because of Inauguration. Biggest complaint was lack of water pressure and no hot water. Manager was nice to credit some points but for over $1000 a night just expected a bit more.

Nice hotel, easy walk to white house. Lots of options for transportation. There were lime scooters, bicycles and other bicycle rentals readly available. Poor noise insulation from the room next door. I could hear people talking clearly and when they opened their door it sounded like they coming into our room.

Do NOT pay extra for the executive suite with balcony. The room is TINY, the balcony is basically a shadowy alcove with a small space you might be able to sit at with another person as long as one of you teleports in or recedes into the dark corner. No outdoor lighting so it’s not enjoyable. No view. Shows a non existent coffee bar in the pic. Pull out sofa bed is maybe 5 feet long. Literally one of the smallest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Restaurant downstairs is pitiful. Parking is triple nearby garages. It’s clean. It’s safe. But that “upgrade” is a joke.

Location: great. Front staff: lovely and helpful. Room: INCREDIBLY dark. No decent lighting to brighten up room. Dining: grabbed a burger one night--awful. Overcooked and dry. Tasted like a frozen patty done in microwave. Sweet bartender, though!

Was excited about the stay here. It was a decent property, location ok, but i paid a little extra for the balcony with "city view" only to get to see the opposite exterior wall of the hotel directly in front of us, which was the majority of the view. And I know hotel room fridges are small, I have stayed in several hotels and am familiar. But this was ridiculous. To keep a 6 pck and try to get one out was like playing jenga everytime you opened the door. They all fell out. Take a lunch cooler, its probably bigger. Being sofa beds are typically uncomfortable we chose to just sleep on the couch and not even bother to pull the sofa bed out. Plus the room is so incredibly tiny that if the bed was pulled out, there would be standing room only. I sent my son to the front desk to get a sheet and a pillow to use on couch, to sleep. They sent up a pillow but told him there were sheets under the sofa bed. This was almost midnight, we were already about to sleep, not about to rearrange the room so that there was space to pull out the sofa bed to get a sheet so that we could just sleep on the couch. Just give us a sheet, that would have been great. And, even though it says there is limited onsite parking, apparently there is not. I called on our way there to inquire more about the limited onsite and she said that is not offered. Finally, onsite bar and restaurant disappointing. Usually you're on vacation and may want to eat past 10. Closes up pretty early.

Very nice room

So close to GWU that it’s impossible to imagine staying anywhere else. The Bistro restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, both tasty with many options. The rooms were nice and in good condition. But what was really remarkable were the employees— Terrence and Dinora (I think that’s her name). They both went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant and comfortable. They more than made up for the hiccups (hotel guests smoking weed next door. It was awful but unavoidable) and they both deserve raises. We will definitely stay there next time we are in DC

The front desk personnel were excellent all of them

Our checking was simple and we were greeted by the lovely and helpful Ms. Corinna Henderson. She was a breath of fresh air our whole week. Your housekeeping staff was amazing. Room cleaned to perfection everyday. Ms. Cheyenne Lott greeted us warmly after a long day of sightseeing and was helpful answering our questions. The Courtyard Foggy Bottom is perfectly located near National sights, museums and restaurants. I have nothing negative to say about our amazing experience.

The staff were exceptional. We left an item in the hotel when we left, and the staff were very helpful in getting this returned to us.

Check in was quick and easy. The woman at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and quiet. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious! Walking distance to all the sights. Highly recommend. Would stay again when in DC.

The valet guy was rude upon checking out

Wish the cafe/bar was open later on weekends. Calvert staff on checkout was rude

The hotel staff was amazing! They were always present and available to answer any questions we had. The location was a plus also.

Here’s a polished rewrite of the review: Many guests were present for the Inauguration of the 47th President, and while half the staff was pleasant and professional, the other half displayed behavior that was entirely unacceptable. It’s disappointing to see personal beliefs overshadowing the duty to provide respectful service to paying customers. Every interaction felt unnecessarily difficult, as if kindness and cooperation were intentionally withheld. Corporate should seriously consider improving training to ensure political neutrality when dealing with guests. Aside from the poor service, the facility itself was adequate.

Really nice hotel. Perfect location to visit GWU.

Short walk to many of the memorials.

Great location

Great location by gwu

The great location to the capital and George Washington university. Very cozy.

Nice hotel, easy walk to white house. Lots of options for transportation. There were lime scooters, bicycles and other bicycle rentals readly available. Poor noise insulation from the room next door. I could hear people talking clearly and when they opened their door it sounded like they coming into our room.

Great location, very clean and quiet.

Long walk to the Metro

Parting expensive and not close to a metro station otherwise it was a good experience

The bistro on site had a very limited menu. Also, the Internet service was not great and there wasn’t a WiFi option that was secured. Thankful to the housekeeping services since they had very limited staff.

Very nice stay, breakfast is pricey… but it’s DC

Wish the cafe/bar was open later on weekends. Calvert staff on checkout was rude

Complimentary morning coffee and a piece of fruit would have been nice.

Great spot. Walkable, great restaurant!

Priced good for the area. The best part was it was easy walking distance to the mall. I like a hotel that has breakfast included, but none in this area do. Great location for a DC visit centered on the mall. Plenty of places to eat within a 10 or 15 minute walk.

Excellent location- 4 blocks north of the mall- exactly half way between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious
