The place was infested with small brown roaches. the were located behind the T.V. entertainment center and in the bathroom. I was there for a total of 5 days, and on each day we were visited by one of these annoying pest. i made the front desk aware of the problem. However, they were in complete denial of the situation. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r628204 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r628205 Great location - great service - great hotel - would definitely stay again!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r628205 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r888599 The Metro Station next door.“Very nice.

After being stuck in DC traffic, I was to say the least Stressed. But as I approached the desk with the staffs smile, I had my room key and was on my way in just a matter of minutes.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r888603 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r888604 The comfort of the bed. I wished I had stayed more days.There was nothing I did not like.“I would definitely tell others about this hotel. It was clean, comfortable, the workers were very friendly and helpful in directing me to where I wanted to go.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r888604 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r888605 Convenient location to food and public transportation.Not very handicap-accessible.“It was not very handicap accessible. I broke my knee cap and was on crutches so getting around was difficult. I never did find the handicap accessible entrance, rather only knew an entrance (from the Metro) that had several doors without handicap buttons (luckily my sister was there to open doors for me) and it had a very long (100 yards?) entrance with several ramps that were very steep!” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r888605 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r888606 Non-smoking, beautiful, staff, location, safe, pool, upgraded us to a suite!I truly cannot think of a thing.“It is absolutely at least a four star hotel, considering all the amenities, services and decor. The Crystal Gateway Marriott rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, the surroundings are luxurious (with the rooms having a modern/transitional decor) there are quite a few places to eat and/or get a drink on site. The pool was wonderful in the evening - it is an indoor/outdoor pool, and sitting outside in the dark watching my dad in the pool after a day of walking in DC was lovely. (there were also two lifeguards on duty.) The breakfast buffet at the Mez restaurant was delicious (our waiter was fantastic, asking the chef what breakfast sausage they serve upon the request of my dad - thank you waiter & chef!) and we were able to comfortably leave our teens in our room while my dh and I visited with friends in the downstairs lounge. The phone reception was excellent. There is valet parking, or you can self park for $19 per each night's stay. Internet access costs per each 24 hour period, but we did not use it. The Metro is accessible through the underground Crystal City mall - when it is close to 100 degrees outside, this is really appreciated! We also love that the hotel was completely non-smoking. I cannot think of any negative - the staff was so friendly and responsive - I asked how much it would cost to upgrade to a suite - our check in person checked to see if there were any available, then handed me the keys, with a comped suite! I couldn't believe it; we have become Marriott fans.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crystal_Gateway_Marriott/r888606
