Several staff were new and I got double charged by mistake. Had to talk to 3 people over two days to get it fixed. I arrived after dinner so I went to the bar to order food and have some beers. After the first beer I was told they didn't have any more of this basic domestic beer. So I ordered a different one and was informed that those were warm. Ordered a flatbread and was told they didn't have those ingredients so I had to order a different one. While I was there, another person came to the bar and asked for a menu and the bartender said "let me show you the items we don't have", 5 or 6 items. It's a small menu. Went to breakfast and my coworker ordered an omelette. They didn't have those ingredients. This is a low amenity hotel without management. There are several hotels in the same area. Choose another one.

Update from my last review. I now understand the negative reviews. Don't stay here during the…read moresummer. I like this hotel because the property itself is solid, but unfortunately the lack of climate control made it one of the least comfortable hotel stays I've had. We understand that the DMV area is experiencing an extreme heat wave, but a hotel should still be able to provide a reasonably comfortable environment. Throughout the building, temperatures were inconsistent, and there were fans running at the front desk which signaled the hvac system is underpowered to handle high temperatures. Our room was even worse. Only part of the room was reasonably cool. The bathroom was unbearably hot, honestly, it felt hotter than it was outside, which was around 105. We contacted maintenance, hoping there was an issue with our room that could be fixed. After checking it, the technician essentially shrugged and said it was hot. While he may have been limited by the building's HVAC system, there was no real solution offered and no attempt to make the situation right. A comfortable room is one of the most basic expectations when booking a hotel, and unfortunately this property didn't deliver. If the HVAC system is upgraded, I'd consider giving the hotel another chance. Until then, I'd have a hard time recommending it during the warmer months.

Reception can be swamped at times depending on if 1-2 staff are stationed at the counters. (I've never seen more than 2; usually see 1.) They have a small grab and go area at the front for purchases. Past the reception desk, they have a reusable water bottle fill-up station where you can select still or sparkling. Accommodations are very nice. I've always had a clean room and pleasant sleeping experience. Comfy bed and easy to use amenities. Rooms vary depending on room style but most come with basic furniture, desk, luggage stowaway, and shelving/hanging clothing storage. They have a bar and restaurant onsite. Bar is well stocked and the bar service has been great each time. Restaurant staff is friendly and helpful. They have a breakfast buffet which offers an array of items including hot dishes, cereal, pastries, fruit, yogurt, coffee, juices, that sort of thing. It's alright when I'm there for work but I would not pay extra for it personally. All in all, good reliable accommodations in Bethesda.

Parking was expensive- 60$ per night. No laundry on the premises was a downside for us as we were on a road trip for few weeks. Breakfast at the M Lounge was very limited - just bread, cream cheese, scrambled eggs, sausages and oatmeal with berries. But they also have coffee, tea, sodas and yogurts available at the lounge until 12am. Employees at the M Lounge were amazing, especially the lady (I don't recall her name) was always so friendly, welcoming and lovely. I wish more people were like her. She made our stay even more special.

I stayed here while attending a conference in nearby Washington DC. It was fairly close to the law…read moreschool the conference was at. It is generally well located. The staff is uniformly pleasant and professional. I have nothing but positive feelings about all of them. The room cleaning was done every day and it felt like they did a good job. Both the hotel and the rooms are a bit on the older side, which is fine. The rooms are fine. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms have a walk-in shower that worked for me, with shampoo/conditioner/body soap dispensers on the wall. My only real issue has to do with something they need to modernize. Some of the electric outlets on the dresser area were not hooked up. The room is bereft of USB ports for charging. I have several devices that need a USB port for recharging. The room has one. So I could charge my iPhone, my Apple watch, my Apple earbuds, or my iPad. I could not charge more than one of them. That is a little annoying, but it is a small problem for just me. That is a rather simple upgrade that they should make. If I had been with my wife on this trip, the lack of USB ports would have been a huge problem. This place has a "bar" that is open limited hours adjacent to the lobby. There is a breakfast thing in the morning. The bar should be open earlier and stay open later. One of the evenings my groups was there, the World Series was on. We had to go to a place a couple of blocks away because it was not on in the hotel bar, and the hotel bar would have closed before the game ended. We would have rather stayed at the hotel. But we could not. The fact that there is no room service is a bit annoying. I know that is part of this kind of place. But it is an inconvenience. I'd say this place is more of a 3.5. But I'm rounding up because the complaints are small and the place was very good in general.

Check in experience was excellent! Liked being on the 12th floor, but seemed like I was put in an Accessibility room even though it wasn't my preference. But it was OK. The room temperature was kind of hot since it was at 75°, so had to turn it down to 65° to feel comfortable. Housekeeping was on time and did a great job while I was at work for a team seminar on Monday and Tuesday. Anyhow, dropped by the Bar down in the lobby a couple of times with my coworkers for a few drinks on Monday evening. Service was pretty good, but a little on the slower side. Maybe since there were a lot of people. Actually stopped by at 5:00 PM the first time. Then again at around 10:30 PM after going to our team Happy Hour. Drinks from the bar were well made both instances. Overall, it was an enjoyable time spending a few nights at this specific hotel! It was convenient since it was close to the Marriott Corporate office.

They just wanted to serve drinks at the long bar. No service showed up at the tables. Ended up buying a pint of Jeni's ice cream for 12 dollars at the food pantry. They had a nice gym but no pool. Self parking 35 dollars per day. Room was comfortable. Close to Metro stop. Waffles shown were disappointing.

I will continue to bring my family here as well because it's super affordable.

The initial activation of the Room Key card didn't work getting in and out of the gates, so had to get them re-activated at the front desk. Stayed in Room 103 during our visit to this hotel. There were Pros and Cons with our room and the Amenities of the hotel... Pros: -Close to downtown Bethesda, Grosvenor Metro, I-270 and 495 -Close to the Marriott HQ, Wildwood Shopping Center, Montgomery Mall -Fitness Room -Daily Housekeeping Cons: -No microwave in the room or common area, had to go to the lobby of the snack bar to use it -Ice machine in first floor didn't work, so had to go to the second floor -Our Room's bathroom sliding door had issues, wouldn't slide properly and fell off a couple of times -TV Channel Guide had no detailed information available -Fitness Room treadmills were intermittently shutting off or getting stuck -Complimentary Breakfast in the M Lounge only for Platinum Members and above (shouldn't all Marriott Bonvoy Members get it? Just a thought) Overall, we had a very enjoyable time minus a few of the Cons. But liked the cleanliness and convenience of the location. We were able to drive and commute to a lot of different places in the DMV while we were visiting MD. Didn't get a chance to eat at the Cooper's Mill restaurant this time around, so maybe next time. Was able to workout at the Fitness Room for 3 days, so liked that very much.

The lobby is busy, but very clean and staff are always at the desk and available. Overall , the staff were amazing and very accommodating. Once we arrived and checked in I realized that the bathroom had a tub and not a step in shower. I booked based on pictures online, so I was pretty sure that the bathroom had a step in shower that my mom would be able to use. However, upon entering the room, I noticed a tub. I went back down to the desk and asked if there was any way possible to switch to a room with a step in shower to accommodate my mom. The young lady at the desk said "yes, of course! I want to make sure that we can accommodate you." Although they were at high occupancy and it was a busy weekend, our room was changed in less than two minutes. No additional questions, no attitude, just excellent customer service. They had me there. Next up, the room. Extremely clean, smelled fresh, no moldy smell or loud air conditioning unit. We had a suite with a king bed and sofa pull out couch which was perfect for our needs. Rooms could use an update but are in great condition. Smart tvs in bedroom and living room, desk area, bathroom with pocket door between toilet/shower area and sink, mini fridge, microwave. The breakfast is also included and had a huge variety...omelette station, bacon, sausage, roasted potatoes, bagels, toast, waffles, yogurt, assorted fruits (green apples, pears, oranges), oatmeal and toppings. Dining staff were on it and replaced food quickly. They cleared tables quickly and wiped them down for the next guests. Everything was hot and fresh. We also had tickets for an afternoon reception with drinks and a snack but didn't get a chance to use them since we were at the hospital during the day. Another staff who worked in the dining area, Ms. Miriyam, was so kind and compassionate to my mom. So kind, in fact, that I will be writing a separate acknowledgment of her outstanding customer service. I only have one complaint. The parking situation is not ideal. There is a parking lot located behind the hotel and parking is limited and pretty tight. Also, a limited number of handicap parking is available near the elevators. Parking is $24/day. If you're bringing someone who uses a wheelchair, it may be helpful to let them out directly in front of the hotel/lobby area and then park unless your lucky enough to get handicap parking near the elevator. I wish I had taken pictures of the room, but it was just such a busy weekend and I forgot ! We're looking forward to bringing our family member here for a staycation once he is well enough. Thank you to the staff at Hilton Embassy Suites Bethesda for making our stay extremely comfortable and making a stressful time for our family a bit easier.

About a month prior, I came in to scope out the space, and the staff at that time were incredibly helpful and welcoming. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of interacting with new team members, and they were just as amazing. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and the entire process was seamless and stress-free. I truly appreciated the accommodations made while I was unloading my supplies. The staff kindly allowed me time to park outside to ensure I had everything I needed before moving my vehicle. They also assisted me with parking, guiding me to the garage, and making sure I knew exactly where to go. Their patience and willingness to help did not go unnoticed. Even as I passed the office multiple times needing assistance, each team member I encountered was consistently kind, attentive, and eager to help. That level of service speaks volumes. I would like to recognize this hotel for having such outstanding individuals representing the face of their company. It's clear that their professionalism, attentiveness, and positive attitudes play a major role in the overall success of the business. As a side note, the breakfast at this location is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend that anyone visiting takes the time to enjoy it in the morning you won't be disappointed.
