Consistently great
This is my preferred home when traveling to the DC area. Has everything within the hotel to make life comfortable, and outside is well-maintained with several outside seating areas. The outdoor pool, though often crowded, is very relaxing. The best part of this hotel is the easy access to the Metro, restaurants and small shops. The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Parking is expensive and the garage is a subterranean maze - all the more reason to leave the car home and take the Metro. This was about my 20th stay at the Marriott Wardman -- I think that says a lot.
