I agree with the others- this was a nice hotel to stay in. Stayed for 2 nights and we were able to walk to everything. The staff is especially friendly and helpful. Even the valet attendants were kind and helpful. Only problem we faced was in the handicapped room the bathroom needed some repairs in the shower and the ceiling fan. This may be because this room is not used as often. Found the room to be spacious and clean. When we had a problem with the tv movie, they sent a tech person within minutes. Always felt safe here.

This hotel was WONDERFUL-everything that we were looking for! I can honestly say that the other reviewers were correct when they said the location was wonderful. My husband and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend to see the sights around D.C.

The location was amazing - only 1 block from the Chinatown/Gallery Place metro stop - super convenient to everything! You can get anywhere in a matter of minutes. Also, if you prefer walking, there are MANY attractions within walking distance. The Spy Museum is right across the street from the hotel, Ford's Theatre is just around the corner, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum (a must see in my book) is 1 block...you can walk to The White House & Smithsonian in a matter of minutes if you wish.

The hotel was very clean and we found it to be very charming, as the hotel is in a restored old bank. This really added some character to the typical "Courtyard Marriott" hotel. The staff was courteous and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were your 'standard' hotel size. However, the only negative that I could really find was the street noise. On Saturday night there was quite a bit of street noise due to the bars/nightlife in the area (we were on the 7th floor). This was only on Saturday...the hotel should probably invest in windows that are a bit more soundproof.

My husband and I loved the restaurant and brewery 'Gordon Biersch' in the bottom of the hotel (this is attached to the hotel, but is not a Marriott restaurant - www.gordonbiersch.com). We ate there several times and were very pleased - The Tapas appetizer is a must have! On our last night in D.C. we wanted to go out for a really nice meal and went to 'District Chop House and Brewery' around the corner from the hotel. The food and service were some of the best that we've ever had!

I would highly recommend this hotel. The price that we paid ($143/
night) was well worth it! We will stay here again on our next trip to D.C.!

Stayed here for part of Memorial Day weekend. I work in DC and live in the suburbs but my husband and wanted to stay in town for a special weekend. I picked the Courtyard because of the location. We went to see the play, Julius Caesar, at the Shakespeare Theater's Sidney Harmon Hall, which is only about three blocks away on F Street. The next day, we walked to the National Gallery of Art and the Newseum. That night, we took the Green Line Metro to Nationals Park to see the Nats play the Brewers. It was only 4 stops on Metro's Green Line to get back to the Gallery Place Metro stop, which is near the hotel. After check out, we walked up F Street to Metro Center Metro stop to get the Orange line to go home. (I really disagree with comments in another review that this hotel is not convenient to the Metro.) The location of this hotel is great - it is within walking distance to the Smithsonians, the Newseum, the Spy Museum, the new Crime and Punishment Museum, the Verizon Center (professional hockey (Capitals), basketball(Wizards and Mystics (WNBA) and concerts), and lots of restaurants. (For breakfast, if one does not want to eat at the hotel and not spend a lot of money, Dunkin Donuts is on 7th Street and Brueggers Bagels is on E Street between 8th and 9th Street) The room was a little small but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel had free internet. and the price was right.

We stayed at this hotel a few weeks ago and the location can't be beat. The hotel itself is nice. The pool is very small, but our 9 year old didn't care. We ate at the breakfast buffet in the morning and it was very good. I highly recommend it as the price is very good for DC. The staff were very friendly, especially the cooks/servers at the breakfast bar. We had a room on the 10th floor and I could hear very faint music and noise from the street as it was Saturday night. I imagine it could be noisy in a room on a lower floor if your rrom faces F street. We will stay here again next year.
