Washington National Defense University Hotels

"Great location; Clean; Staff friendly and helpful; Starbucks in the building."

"I liked the cleanliness, the well manicured landscaping and the very professional staff, especially Jamaal. All were great and very well dressed."

"Great hotel and location . Staff was wonderful!"

"I have been disappointed with my past several hotel stays at various other "luxury" properties (think Ritz Carlton, Bellagio, Aria). The properties/rooms werent properly upkept, and I was left feeling uncomfortable with the level of cleanliness. From the moment I walked into this property, I was impressed. Everything was above par - the scent, decor, cleanliness, staff. Trey at the front desk provided exemplary service. So much so that my 17 y.o even commented. I consider myself a harsh critic on cleanliness (I travel with cleaning supplies, wear shower shoes, pull back bedding, check bed bases, and furniture, even at 5 star plus establishments), and this room was clean and well appointed. My son used the fitness facility and he was pleased and commented on the variety of equipment. It was a turnaround trip, so I wasnt able to utilize the other amenities, but I did pass by the spa, and it looked very appealing. The self parking is a bit expensive for a public parking lot ($64/day, but no in and outs. So you pay every time you take your car out), but they do offer valet which is typically priced for luxury properties ($75). I am definitely staying here again when I return, and I highly recommend it!"

"Good location near the Nationals ballpark"

"Awesome "

"Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and I will stay there again."

"Such a great location for the wharf, Anthem venue, food and peaceful atmosphere!"

"The location of this hotel was great, very convenient. That’s where the positives of this trip end. The staff were not very helpful and seemed to have an attitude when asking if it were possible to accommodate my needs. Late check out costs extra, a conference room costs extra, coffee costs extra-no coffee maker, microwave, nor cold refrigerator were in the room. Breakfast even costs extra. Felt like I was nickeled and dimed for the most basic of requests. WiFi was spotty at best. Some of the channels available for streaming were also spotty. The walls are very thin, I was woken up by people letting their doors slam shut several times a night and by the next door neighbor at 3am engaging in adult activities. The “bathroom” in the room had a toilet that was so low it is hard for people with disabilities to use. The shower door wouldn’t close and leaked water on the floor outside of the shower. The bathroom door its self did not fully close. For a Marriott affiliated hotel I was quite disappointed by this experience. "
