Residence Inn by Marriott Washington DC Capitol

Punti positivi: close to National Mall

Punti negativi: high parking fee

Punti positivi: There was a parking garage next door for hotel guests to use. It was very accessible.

Punti positivi: Location, indoor pool, staff.

Punti negativi: Dining area could not handle the number of guests coming for the free breakfast.

It was a nice hotel. The kitchen was nice, but I did not utilize it very much. Staff was friendly and the breakfast buffet was quite good.

Punti positivi: The breakfast buffet was quite good and the location was convenient.

Punti negativi: The room was hot. The thermostat was set as low as it could go (65 degrees) but the room stayed at 75 degrees. It made sleeping difficult.

The hotel is very family friendly. We had a room with a queen bed and queen sofa bed. The rooms have a full kitchen with utensils, pots, and pans, which is very convenient when traveling with kids. The hotel has a nice swimming pool, hot tub, and an outdoor terrace. Parking is available for a $30 fee, but they were sold out on the 4th of July so we parked overnight on the street. There are several cheaper parking lots in the surrounding area, but some of them close at night. The hotel is in the South Capitol area, close to the National Mall, Capitol building, American Indian Museum, and Botanical Conservatory. There are not too many restaurants in the area, but the hotel provides a free breakfast which was very good. My only complaint is that the hotel allows pets and my kids woke up with what appeared to be flea bites.

Punti positivi: Free buffet breakfast, full kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, range, pots, pans, and dishes. Swimming pool and hit tub. Close to the National Mall and Capitol.

Punti negativi: Animals allowed, my kids and husband woke up with flea bites. Lack of many restaurants in surrounding area.
