I was here months ago for a pretty epic show, and I must say, the Marriott Marquis hotel in downtown DC is an establishment to behold. With an underground tunnel leading to the convention center, I never had to step outside once to get where I needed to go. The ambience is a bit over the top. The floors, if you look from up top, appear as if they have massive cracks that are deep enough to send you to Beijing. The parking situation is a nightmare if you're driving anything larger than an Infiniti QX80, so you'll have to pay a pretty penny to park in the oversized spaces. The service, while a bit underwhelming, was good enough. The Starbucks here is mediocre. Don't give them your hard-earned gift card money. I'll be back once I buy a small enough car to park in the wedgie-tight garage. read more

If you have business at the convention center, I'm sure this hotel would be a great option because of its proximity. Unfortunately, we were there just to enjoy a long weekend, not realizing we'd be surrounded by a ton of high school kids attending what seemed to be a debate competition. The lobby looked impressive at first, but it was filled with kids almost all the time, which made it far from relaxing. We also found the lobby area to be a poor representation of the hotel overall. The room was not only dated, but it also looked and felt more like a 3-star hotel. The bathroom door was damaged, and the ceiling had been patched in several places. There were no cotton swabs or shower caps provided. The hotel bar looked just as dated as the room, and the service there was laughable. Overall, this was one of the worst Marriott hotels I've stayed at. read more

The hotel is right by the convention center, so do yourself a favor and search what might be happening there before booking. We didn't realize a huge cheerleading competition was happening the same weekend and the whole hotel was inundated. Luckily we were in a suite and had a separate elevator so that was nice, but there were so many people that the valet garage was closed and valet wasn't an option. Kind of annoying when we arrived Friday night, I'm 8 months pregnant and have to navigate finding a different garage. Ending up finding one ~7 min walk away which was spacious and cheaper so it worked out! The hotel stay itself was quiet and clean and the shower had good pressure and the provided shampoo/soap smelled great. The pillows were horrible though - seemed big and fluffy at first and then totally flattened. I don't understand why hotels only do goose feathered pillows.. they're not comfortable! The location was good too - not a bad walk to the mall and lots to do. read more

Great stay and we've been here many times. Lobby bar was quick as we had to use our daily food & beverage credit with the daily resort fee. I think the drinks were overpriced read more

Conference Review: Attended a conference here and found it very easy to get around. Well equipped for large groups, the meeting rooms were comfortable, and the food served wasn't bad. A little bland, but all very edible. Services provided by the food service staff were superb. I'd attend a conference here again, but the parking prices are insanely high. I'll park somewhere else and walk here next time! read more

The stay, regrettably, fell short of expectations. To the hotel's credit, I was upgraded to a Studio Suite, which on paper, and visually, was a welcome improvement. The room was well-appointed, with comfortable furnishings and a layout that suggested a more premium experience. Unfortunately, that promise quickly unraveled. Upon entry, there was a noticeable musty odor, subtle, but persistent enough to detract from the sense of freshness one expects at this level. Where the experience truly went sideways, however, was with the HVAC system. I tend to sleep warm and, as a matter of habit, travel with a portable thermometer to verify room temperature accuracy. Despite setting the thermostat to its lowest possible setting, the unit continued to emit heat, no cooling function whatsoever. What should have been a controlled, restful environment instead felt like an unintentional sauna. This is not a minor inconvenience. The quality of sleep is the ultimate measure of a hotel stay, and in this regard, the property failed. Everything else, from the room's appearance to general functionality, was serviceable, but none of it compensates for an inability to rest properly. The complimentary breakfast was decent, though unremarkable. More disappointing was the closure of the executive lounge for the duration of the stay, reportedly due to low occupancy. Staff indicated that additional points would be issued as compensation; neither those points nor the associated night credits ever materialized. I had hoped for an experience comparable to other Marriott Marquis properties I've enjoyed in cities like New York and San Diego. This stay did not meet that standard. Between the persistent musty smell, the in-room heat issue, and the lounge closure, the value proposition felt increasingly strained, particularly when factoring in the mandatory $35 nightly destination fee, which yielded only a $20 food-and-beverage credit and a $5 Uber credit. The math simply does not work in the guest's favor. In fairness, this may well have been a low-season stay, and the hotel may have been operating in a reduced-capacity mode. Still, that does little to excuse a room environment that prioritizes utility savings over guest comfort. Climate control should be based on occupant preference, full stop. If a guest wants it cold, it should be cold. If they want heat, that option should exist as well. The stay was acceptable, but just barely. If a 2.5-star rating were an option, that would feel more honest than three. Adequate in parts, disappointing where it mattered most sleep, I didn't even get the points or night credits despite my Elite Status. read more

Attended the Splunk conference here. Well organized overall--great signage, and ushers present. Good food, coffee, and other refreshments. Valet was very fast, efficient, and extraordinary friendly. All the various conference rooms were well laid out, had great lighting consistent with Splunk, and audio/visual was superb. read more

I stayed here for a scientific meeting, and found it to be extremely comfortable, practical, and well located. During my stay, the staff or nothing other than absolutely wonderful, showing excellent professionalism and courtesy at all times. From the people at the welcome desk, to housekeeping, everyone was welcoming and helpful. The conference center is quite good. It is a bit on the small side, but fit the needs of the meeting. I was at very nicely. The location of the hotel is excellent, with many wonderful restaurants and other attractions nearby. The national mall is only a short 20 minute walk away. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here for a meeting or conference when you get the chance. read more

From arrival to departure, we had a great experience. I arrived by Uber and was immediately checked in. The hotel is massive, with a very large and bright lobby and various restaurants and eateries attached. Our room was immaculate and was very clean. You could tell it had been updated at some point. I enjoyed how spacious it felt; nothing felt too cramped, including the bathroom. In addition to the large closet and safe, there was a small coffee bar. Other reviews I read noted some rooms are equipped with a Keurig machine; ours was not (it had the typical hotel coffee machine), but it's okay because we had access to the M Lounge, which was fantastic and one of the best I've experienced in the US. Breakfast was a large spread of warm food, charcuterie, cereals, pasties, and coffee/juice. During non-breakfast hours, there are refreshments and snacks available. The staff was attentive and very friendly. Excellent service all around. There is no self-parking option, just valet, which is $70 for overnight parking. That's a bit steep, in my opinion, but there are limited options around. Be sure to check if any nearby garages offer weekend parking (probably best if you just plan to park and not do in/out driving). Overall, I would definitely stay at the Marriott Marquis again. It's in a very convenient location and it fit my needs for the occasion. read more

Stayed at Marriott Marquis DC for a conference and had a great experience! We requested early check-in once we got there and were placed on a waitlist and ended up being able to check-in ~1.5 hours prior to the original time. They also allowed late check-out at 12pm at no cost, which also really helped us out. Front desk, concierge, and housekeeping were all very responsive and helpful; our room with double beds was great, very comfortable. The only con was parking: we drove to DC and the hotel does not have on-site parking. They have valet parking for ~$70/day, which is a bit steep so we decided to do overnight parking at the nearby CityCenterDC garage, which was more reasonably priced. Overall, 10/10 would recommend this hotel! read more

Very neat and clean hotel check-in process was seamless. The attendant at the front desk was extremely professional and helpful. The lobby area was stunning. The restaurant for breakfast was really really nice powerful Wi-Fi. I did not like the furnishings in the room they seem dated, however the room itself was clean with a lot of windows. Unfortunately overnight parking was close to $100 I thought was way overpriced. read more

Marriott Marquis Washington, DC - Restaurant seating - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The hotel was clean but the rooms were tired. The blanket on my king bed looked like it was a queen blanket. It didn't fit. The hotel had lots of strict linens policies I have never been exposed to elsewhere. To begin the hotel rooms require pillows of a certain kind so unless you are on there secret feather free floor you may not have foam pillows. Despite it being Dec in COLD DC the hotel was strict about extra blankets. They offered me one that was extra crusty, I'm talking a handkerchief used for 2 weeks straight would be more supple. When I requested a second blanket like the one already on my bed the girl on the phone gave me a strong NO and said they do not give extra blankets in the rooms. This forced me to keep my heat at 78 to stay warm and my bed remained incredibly uncomfortable. The towels had holes in them to add to the linen challenges. The interior view was weird, but not loud or claustrophobic. Customer service was disappointing and the linen issues so odd I was there for a business conference and will not attend in the future if it remains there bc I need to sleep comfortably at night when traveling cross country or anywhere. Very disappointed in this hotel with quirky policies. read more

Arrived by Uber, there was nobody to assist with luggage. But, what a lovely bright hotel and just a nice lobby area. We checked in and I realized that I made a mistake a did not book enough days. My fault and did not realize it until at check-in. We asked was there room for us to add additional day, Junior was assisting us and said he would ask his manager. Junior was back in less than 5 minutes and said no problem. I was so grateful that we were accommodated over a busy weekend. This hotel is huge and there are two banks of elevators. There is an M Lounge on the 12th floor with water, snacks, desserts, breakfast. It is self serve and self clean your table. Room: 11049 which is close to second bank of elevators, ice machine. The room faces the interior of the hotel so AWESOME sleep quality. You hear nothing, but the pillows are horrible and the bed is medium quality. The room has a mini fridge and Keurig single serve coffee machine. The room size is simple hotel room with tiny TV. The indoor safe did not work and the hotel refused to send a repairman while we were at our conference, so it was useless. The room has two telephones and one was broken. Bathroom: One sink and shower and both had the worst water pressure, but the water was super cold and super hot. Towels are decent quality, but far from plush. The lighting makes it a challenge to apply makeup with the shadows. The room gets super steamy and you can see that the humidity is causing some issues in the shower stall. This hotel has a $30 daily destination fee that is just crazy. You can use the $30 for food in many of the restaurants in the hotel. BeerLab is one of those restaurants and highly recommended to go and check it out. You use it or lose it. We were able to use $30 for only one night of our stay. There is a $5 daily Uber credit, I have my Uber and Marriott card connected, but I never saw a $5 credit on my Uber rides during our stay. I really like the hotel for the QUIET sleep quality and the hotel was able to fix my screw up of booking mistake. read more

I went for conference and 90th Anniversary of National Council of Negro Women. Beauty hotel. Beautiful experience

Stayed March 11-12, 2026. The top of the bathroom mirror was very dusty. I question the overall cleanliness of the entire room because I had swollen eyes and redness underneath them, very unusual as I don't have allergic reactions. In addition, their online menu pictured items that did not arrive as pictured. I spoke with the manager Brock, who said that the room would be cleaned after my first night and he would add points to my Marriott account but nothing was cleaned and no points were added. Very disappointing as our meeting was a pre-conference planning meeting before we have 900 people in August I might stay elsewhere. read more

This hotel was extremely clean and the staff were beyond friendly. The lounge for Platinum members and above was the perfect, quiet space to get work done and the food there was great; loved that they had breakfast AND afternoon snacks. People love to complain about Marriott destination fees, but at $35 worth of food for $30 plus several other perks, it was easy to use and, I thought, perfectly reasonable. I know this is deliberately a convention center hotel, but I stayed here for business elsewhere in the city and would do so again. read more

Marriott Marquis Washington, DC - Outrageous, cheap ass lounge for their elite members at the top of the hotel - Hotels Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Overview: A very large, overall good Marriott. But a bit worn and some customer-service issues. Rounding up to 4 stars (really a 3.5 overall). Arrival: Arrived by Uber and had extra luggage. Would be great to have a doorman or a porter for some baggage help, but no employees anywhere to assist. When we checked out there was plenty of help around the valet area but no one offered to help with luggage. Check-in: Prompt check-in, acknowledged status. No room upgrades. Room 11049: King bed, basic room. Good Keurig coffee maker. Tiny, old LG TV (think larger computer monitor size - way too small and outdated). In room safe was broken, and staff refused to accommodate our request to repair it (see below for more details). One phone in the room was broken. Room was dated and a bit worn out. Bathroom: Shower only with horrible water pressure. Shower ceiling had some sort of cancer and looked very bad. Decent shampoo, conditioners, and toiletries. Old, weak hair dryer. Bed: Good beds with decent linens Sleep quality: Very good sleep quality, very quiet hotel Housekeeping: Left a tip each day, and housekeeping was good. Overall staff service: not very helpful; most staff we encountered seemed to actively avoid guests. The safe in our room was broken, and we called to the front desk to have it repaired. We explained we'd be out the next day and would like the safe repaired when we returned. Hotel response was no. We had to be present and wait around for the hotel staff to repair the inoperative safe. Talk about poor customer service. Defective equipment in the room, and the hotel requires guests to be further inconvenienced to fix the equipment! Perks for status: Nice M Lounge with free breakfast. Snacks water, coffee, and sodas available all day Conference venue: large conference venue Restaurants: Multiple restaurants and bars on site. We tried the DC Beer Lab and had some great craft beer! Misc: (1) Destination fee is simply "bill bloat" with an effort to stay on site with the $30 credit for drinking/dining on site against the destination fee. (2) Truluck's is within easy walking distance. read more

We spent four nights here recently, and we were generally pleased with our experience. This is a huge hotel right by the convention center, a short distance from Penn Quarter and Chinatown. Because of its location, the room rates are higher than places that are farther afield. Getting here from DCA was easy without a car, as the yellow line drops you off just a couple blocks away. When you enter the hotel, you find yourself looking up at an enormous atrium. hundreds of rooms look down over this space, but unfortunately we were in a room that looked out onto the street. I can't imagine how much it costs to heat or cool such a large amount of empty space. Anyways, I digress. Check-in was relatively easy; we lucked out because there weren't a lot of people waiting in line to get their keys. We were able to get served quickly as Marriott Bonvoy members, though other than a separate check-in desk there were no additional perks for the stay (but I'm at the lowest tier so I don't expect them anyway). Our room was smaller than we had expected. There were two double beds (as requested), which were comfortable but I'm pretty certain they were full and not queen beds. Lighting was sufficient and the climate control worked well. We had to walk a fairly long distance to find the ice machine. Overall it served our purposes for a place to sleep, but it wasn't as luxurious as we had hoped. We opted not to dine in the hotel restaurants, which are all rather expensive. There's a great place for breakfast across the street anyway. The only hotel amenity we used was the exercise room, which was proportionally large since there are over 1000 rooms in the hotel. However, it was quite under-utilized - I don't think I saw more than 5 people each night that I went. As mentioned above, the location is really nice, particularly if you don't have a car and are willing to walk. There are plenty of dining options as you move south towards the National Mall. So if you're willing to pay the price, this is a pretty good hotel option in DC. read more

I really wanted to come here and write a beautiful review sharing the great service I received from, Daysi (housekeeping), Nancy (Valet) and Edwin (security). Unfortunatley, Debra from front desk destroyed my experience. I ordered something from Amazon and was told it was delivered to the restaurant STK that is not part of the hotel. After 30 minutes of working with Nancy, Edwin and another security who's name I didn't get we couldn't find the package. I had dinner reservations and was told to call front office when I returned. Well, Miss My Name is DEBRA read more

I just checked out of this hotel and the people at the front desk were rude as hell. I was struggling with all my bags as I was walking to the desk and they had this condescending look. I said good morning and they looked at each other and laughed. They didn't offer to help or anything. Also there's a shorter older lady with braids working the valet that was very rude multiple times. There were some friendly and nice staff working there. Like people around the Anthem restaurant where I got food yesterday but there are definitely some bad apples. I just let my company know about this and we will never stay in this hotel again. read more

If zero stars were an option, that's what I'd give this hotel. Unprofessional, dismissive front desk staff and zero sense of hospitality, which seems to be a management issue, not just one person. I waited in line to check in with two large suitcases. When a front desk agent became available, she just stared at me without a word. When I said "hi," she replied, "How can I help you?" while glaring at me, as if I were inconveniencing her. She kept the same attitude the entire time. The only staff member who showed any professionalism or courtesy was one housekeeper. Do not stay here. read more

March 5, 2026 this hotel decides to shutdown the pick up lane in front telling all Ubers to go to L street? I asked where that was and he said every phone has a map. Really dude???

Our uber cancelled and we lost money, time, and had to stand outside in the rain. Poor management!! Never ever stay here!! read more

This is absolutely the best conference hotel I've stayed at. It is across the street from the convention center. There is also an underground tunnel to get to the convention center in case of bad weather. If you are a platinum elite member or higher, there is an M lounge on the 12th floor. (It's actually open 24 hours though there is only food served for breakfast hors d'oeuvres and dessert.) There are multiple restaurants in the main floor and numerous conference rooms in the basement. I would not stay here except for during a conference, but feel that there is no option to stay anywhere else for a conference because it fulfills work needs so well. 5 stars for a work hotel!! read more

Although the Marriott Marquis is nice and clean overall, I would expect better for the cost of the hotel. The furniture looks like it could use some TLC and upgrading. The desk chair in my room had chunks missing from the arm rest, which should have probably been replaced honestly. The staff was friendly for the most part. The location was away from the craziness of the city, but also still walkable to the city. I think this could be a great hotel, but it currently feels overpriced and could benefit from furniture repairs/upgrades. read more

We had a lovely 3 night stay here between Christmas & NYE. Our check in was easy and the bell hop very friendly & helpful. We found our room very clean and our bed comfortable. The room was cleaned daily and well maintained. Due to our Marriott Member Status, we received a lovely continental breakfast each day that was fresh & plentiful. We received passes for the hop on/off trolley and that was a fun and efficient way to see DC. We enjoyed a cocktail each evening in the lobby bar and found the warm chocolate chip cookie & ice cream very delicious! Having the Starbucks in-house was nice for an afternoon pick-me-up by their fireplace. Valet parking is $65 a night but there is plenty of public parking for a 1/3 of the price and a short walk away. Overall, I would recommend this hotel confidently and would definitely stay there again. read more

I stay in Marriott properties almost as often as I do my own home. Marriotts, JWs, resorts, and also Courtyards, Fairfields, Residence Inns, Springhill, and Townplace Suites. I kinda know what to expect. The Marquis here in DC has been a happy surprise. I expected good. What we've experienced is delightful. @Tanya went above and beyond to make checkin pleasant and took care of a special situation on our behalf. The whiskey bar was a perfect place to watch the Dbacks take care of the Phillies in game 7 of the NLCS. The fitness center...well dang...better than the club I belong to back home. By chance I met resident manager @Philip Shortino as he was doing a walk-around (as all great managers everywhere do), and we had a nice chat. Our room is spacious, clean, , quiet, well-appointed...the stuff you hope for in a hotel; and, the M Club breakfast was just excellent. Too bad we can't stay longer. read more

I only stayed one night but enjoyed my time at this hotel. The staff is very friendly and responsive. They also had my room ready for early check-in. This is a prime location that's close to almost everything in DC but away from all the city craziness. But there were small things that bothered me that could have been easily addressed. For example, the chair in my room had a tear and the curtains were stained. Everything else was nice and clean but still bothered me. read more

Adequate. Got basic room for a conference. Everything was older and a little beat up from being well used, but overall clean with responsive staff, and I'd return. Compared to other reviews, I was stuck with the old shower/tub combo with plastic liner; old tv with remote that barely works; old phone; wimpy linens with some wear and tear; towels ok; hairdryer very old and weak, not hot enough, but I was not motivated to seek replacement. The front staff had plenty of people available for check out and check in, and were very efficient. I expect to be back again. read more
