The Courtyard Embassy Row seemed very geared up for economy business travellers needing a quick stopover in DC but is not especially nice for a vacation. For the tourist the location is far from ideal; we found the walk to the White House to be a very long 6 blocks, and the National Mall even further. The nearest Metro is... more

Stayed here for a conference in DC -- brought my family to stay a total of 5 nights. I stay in Marriott hotels frequently, and this one was a pretty good value for the city during a holiday, considering that I booked it directly through the Marriott Rewards website. I paid 229/night for room 518 -- which had two queen... more

My husband and I stayed overnight on a Saturday night- and left on Sunday. This was our first visit to this hotel although it was not our first trip to D.C. Here are our observations: Room - We stayed in room 309, which had a King sized bed. The room was one that faced Scott Circle and had a view... more

I stayed here 3 days during the Easter wknd. Got room 402, which is tucked away in the back corner, a bit difficult to find due to lack of directions. I picked this hotel because of its location, 2 blocks away from Conn Ave & Dupont Circle, short walk to the Whitehouse, easy access to 2 metro lines. The 42"... more

Very good hotel. Upside: location was decent. Had to walk to restaurants and the Metro, but even in the severe early-April cold snap the jaunts weren't too far. The White House can be walked to, just a few blocks. Our kids loved the National Geographic Society museum just down the street. Nice looking building, clean and good-sized rooms. Comfy beds.... more

Great bed, nice little room and decent service. I was even allowed to check in early. They also just installed new wide screen HD TV's. for each room. It may be a bit of a walk from the metro and i didn't have a fridge but overall a great overnight stay. more

This is a well-located member of the Courtyard chain, one that has always provided great stays. This hotel is on Scott Circle, where Massachusetts Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue cross 16th Street - a straight shot to the White House. Great service, clean and comfortable rooms - huge rooms for the Guest Rewards members. Quick check-in and check-out. Impressive lobby to... more

Our family of three stayed for three nights here in early January 2007. The hotel is clean, in a good location, and has updated stylish furnishings. The exercise room is adequate and the pool is good. We were disappointed that there was not 24-hour coffee in the lobby, as advertised, and that the coffee there in the mornings was not... more

I just returned from a four night stay at the Courtyard Embassy Row. The hotel is located in a quiet area of the city. The rooms are quite large and very new. They feature the new Marriott beds which are very comfortable. Bathrooms are also large and newly done. The hotel is located 2 and a half blocks from the... more
