Water and lighting would be appreciated

After a very smooth checkin (helps to be one of the metal-level elites), I went up to my room. While somewhat quiet, it overlooked a major thoroughfare. My advice below would be to insist on a different direction. The room lacked two things that even a Holiday Inn Express would have: lighting and water. If you wanted lighting, you had to walk around the room turning on lamps, and even then, you'd think electricity was being rationed. As for water, no complimentary water and none for sale. So I figured I'd just dirnk some from the sink, but there weren't any cups. The rest of the stay was good enough. The bed was comfortable and the thermostat got down to 63, which is my sleeping temp. (Many hotels stop at 65 or higher.) The food varied in quality from horrible convention food to good-enough burgers and a turkey club a la carte. Once again, water seemed to be at a premium. I had to use a beverage coupon to purchase it at the conference itself, and when I did eat at their walk-in restaurant,getting a refill took quite an effort.…

Excellent Experience!!!

My family and I stayed at this Marriott for 30 days and the staff and location was excellent. They treated us like family. They were always so kind, friendly, and took really great care of us. Especially, Yared, who works in the front. He was the first person we met at the entrance of the hotel and he set the tone for an amazing stay. He treated us like we were truly part of his family. He provided us with directions countless of times and made recommendations for restaurants in the local area. We were truly grateful for his Kindness and welcoming spirit. I would like to also highlight the following employees for the superior customer service that they provided to my family and I. Deleslie from the M Lounge was phenomenal!! She gave us great service with unparalleled dedication to our specific dietary requirements and provided several recommendations that accentuated our stay in the DC area that we were truly grateful for and will always cherish. Next, Antonia from the house keeping department. Whenever she cleaned our room it was always immaculate!!! The value of her work was solely reflective from her passion of her performance. I was so impressed by her dedication to ensure a healthy and cleaned room that I often requested her services throughout my stay. Additionally, I would like to also recognize Jose Fernandez at the front desk. From the day we checked in, until we left, he was always kind, professional, and hospitable. Lastly, Ms. Keisha Ellis, the hotel assistant manager was very welcoming, personable, and worked well with the customers and her staff. For example, due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to pick up a birthday cake for my family's birthday and she coordinated with one of her staff members and made it possible. There are countless other employees who made my stay memorable and I would also like to Finally, I would also like to thank the following employees for all of their hard work and efforts during our long stay: Sylvia, Cynthia, Gloria Menjivar, Loretta, and Altoro. We have traveled the world and have stayed at many Marriott hotels and I can truly say the employees from this hotel have certainly left an impression on my family and I. Their kindness, attention to detail, and work ethic is incomparable. It's really hard to come across employees with more than 10 years with that kind of drive and joy for their work. We are Titanium Elite members with over hundreds of stays. We love this brand and have grown accustomed to a certain level of standard and service. This hotel didn't disappoint. We highly recommend the Crystal Gateway Marriott and look forward to returning.…

Consistent quality

I have stayed here several times recently in advance of weekend football games. This is an older property but has been nicely renovated. As a Marriott Ambassador level customer had access to the M Club Lounge which had a very good breakfast and access to coffee/soda/snacks throughout the day. The gym is well equipped with all machines working as well as audio visuals. The restaurant/bar had longer hours than most hotels post Covid. There is a shuttle with frequent service to DCA. I have stayed at multiple hotels by DCA and this one has been my best experience.

Worst Marriott Ever

I have spent literally hundreds of nights in Marriott hotels over the past few years. This was by far the worst. The mattresses on both beds were badly broken down, making it impossible to lie flat. The air conditioning didn’t work; the fan blew but without cooling. I called and was told a maintenance person would be up to look at it. No one ever showed up. The coffee maker was broken. The shampoo and conditioner dispensers were empty. I expect better from Marriott.

Location and Lounge

Great Weekend stay (Thurs - Sun) Early check in was granted, I had my mobile room key before my 8 am flight. Follow the direction in the app, there are two towers and they don't connect. Upon landing at Reagan we caught the Metro for a one stop ride. Metro station is directly beneath the hotel. Just make sure you go to correct Marriott as there are two that connect directly to the metro tunnels. Or you could take the free shuttle from DCA. With the mobile key I went straight to my room bypassing the front desk. Room appeared to have been recently refurbished. King room with small couch. Bed was very comfortable, couch was good for reading. Bathroom was large with a full walk-in shower and great water pressure. M Lounge was open 24/7, which is unusual as most on are closed on the weekends. Breakfast was buffet style with choice of meats, scrambled eggs, fresh made waffles, pastries, cereals and yogurts. Evening o'dourves and deserts were on the light side. It was never crowed and you could social distance while eating. Since I had a 4pm flight home, I was able to secure late a check out so I didn't have to worry about what to do with my luggage on the last day. Only dissatisfaction were other guests who slammed doors, held loud conversations in the hallway in the early hours of the night. Each night I had interrupted sleep due to the noise. But luckily it did not ruin trip. I would stay here again. The location is great, lounge is open, and per night price was amazing.…
