Pros and Cons, overall average at best
Stayed at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington DC during December for a conference and I would say my feelings about this hotel are mixed at best. First, the pros are fairly simple and things you would expect of any hotel with an average daily rate this high. The hotel is very clean, staff was very friendly and helpful and the meeting facilities were very adequate for our conference needs. One of the main pros of this hotel was the location. It was convenient to local restaurants, the metro line and other nearby attractions. The cons I would considerable notable would be that WiFi was scattered at best throughout the hotel, even if you purchased it, the bathrooms were very small (including showers) with narrow shower stalls with very low hanging shower faucets and I’m only 5’10”. Sleep quality was ok, at least in my tower, lots of construction type noise during the night. The service at the Stones Throw bar was so-so. Stopped by Sunday evening to watch some of the game, five servers behind the bar, but apparently only one can cash you out. Had to wait 10+ minutes to get my bill and it wasn’t terribly busy. So again, this hotel is a place that I would say you can expect good service and service up to the Marriott standard, however I wouldn’t expect too much more.
