Bethesda Marriott 5151 Pooks Hill Road, Bethesda, MD 20814

"My wife and I stayed in the King suite for the night. Clean with nice amenities. Service was excellent, from the desk clerk to the bar staff. The food from the restaurant was decent. We ordered the crab fries and turkey club. Our only complaint was the bed not giving enough support."

"Can a hotel be ‘nice’ and not nice at the same time? If so- that’s this hotel. It was nice when we walked in, but the hallways weren’t nice at all. They felt old and disconnected. I’ll also note that the parking lots are weird. There are a few and they’re gated. When we received our room key I asked the person where should we park to be closer to our room and she said wherever. After choosing the wrong lot and walking what felt like a mile to get to our room I realized she was wrong. I was there 5 minutes and figured out the room number system. The low numbers were on one side and high on the opposite. We had room #377, almost the final room in the hotel. Why didn’t she direct me to the best parking lot to go in to give me the shortest walk to my room? I’ve shared pictures- but something was off with the carpet and something was very wrong with the walls on the third floor. I legitimately wonder if it’s safe. They should not pretend like something’s not very wrong here. As an aside, I was bummed that breakfast wasn’t included. That happens, but it’s a bummer that when it does. Lack of breakfast doesn’t impact my review, but wanted to mention for those doing their research. I try to stay at Marriott Bonvoy hotels when we go places and this is not one I’d want to return to."

"Very convenient to the Washington Beltway. Room was clean and quiet which is what I really want. I wish shower had had a handheld, but that was the only thing I really would have requested. Staff was very friendly and helpful when I needed some information. Looking forward to staying there again."

"Stayed here for 6 weeks on business and had i not gotten tired of eating out, I would have stayed for the last 4 weeks of my business trip. The staff here are phenomenal, especially Z, Joe, and Patricia. They made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe (not easy to come by as a solo traveler!). Rooms are lovely and I enjoyed spending time in the gym and by the pool. Close proximity to the highways and complimentary parking was a huge plus."

"I had a marvelous stay at the Bethesda Marriott. The evening front desk team was so attentive and patient with our check in. Our room was very well made up. Absolutely no dust and nothing out of place. During my stay, I was able to workout at the gym. I’m just honestly say that this was one of the most fully functioning and clean hotel gyms that I’ve ever worked out in. I was honestly impressed. All of the weights were in order, all of the equipment was very organized, and it was easy for me to find everything. Additionally, the gym had a view of the beautiful pool. I only wish that I was able to enjoy it because it looks like so much fun. Housekeeping service did amazing in our room when we came back after a long day. Last, but not least, I enjoyed my dark and stormy cocktail at the bar. Service was very pleasant, and efficient. I definitely intend on staying at the Bethesda Marriott in the near future once my travels bring me back."
