Residence Inn by Marriott Bethesda Downtown

Room was very cool. Didn’t experience breakfast

We stayed in a K suite which was roomy and very comfortable. It had a main room with a small but well equipped full kitchen, table with four chairs and a large couch. A separate bedroom had a comfy king bed. There were two large tvs in the suite with many stations on each. Included full breakfast was really good with plenty of hot and cold choices in an attractive, glassed in area. Minor negatives were somewhat lumpy pillows which they probably would have changed if I asked and the shower is in the tub and the head was too high. I would have liked a sliding bar for the shower head to accommodate shorter people. Plenty of good choices of snacks and frozen items in the lobby area. Would gladly stay again in the future.

Clean hotel in a good location for what I needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The valets were fast. One of the two elevators was not working, but they provided signed access to the two staff elevators to make up for it.

Great location for a short stay, especially if you commute daily to the NIH campus by Metro. Within a two-mile walking radius of the Residence Inn, you’ll find local and chain restaurants, shopping, and several grocery stores, including three Trader Joe’s locations. We stayed in a cozy one-bedroom suite with a living area and kitchen. The bed was comfortable, and the excellent blackout curtains made it possible to sleep well into the morning. The lobby also offers a convenient business workspace with a couple of computers and a printer. The hotel serves a wonderful hot breakfast buffet, and the breakfast staff were very friendly. The waffle maker seemed to be available only on weekends. We mostly ate out, including at the excellent nearby Andy’s Pizza. For Catholics who want to attend daily or weekend Mass, a Catholic church is within a 10-minute walk.
