Pool Grimey
Our stay was the end of August 2009. The room was nicely decorated and very clean, as was the bathroom. The beds were by far the most comfortable of any place where I've stayed in recent years.
The one thing that did concern me, however, was the pool. The water was quite warm which was a nice surprise, but I noticed a film on the side of the pool ( where the water meets the wall). I don't know why I did it, but I scratched with my fingernail and it was a filty grime. Marriot needs to keep on top of such things and get on the ball. There is no excuse for not scrubbing down the pool. Can you imagine the bacteria growing in the hotel's whirlpool?

Great location, walking distance to White House and Washington Monument, bit more of a walk if you are fit and healthy to Lincoln Memorial and a long way from Arlington Cemetry. Train system very easy to use especially for new comers. Museum's are really not that far either kids knew their way around without a map. Staff were friendly and the lifts were a breeze to use much easier then standard lifts. Family wise we didn't find anywhere to eat all to up market for us, even the list of recommended restaurants was a bit tooooooooo pricy. The room was too small for a family of five and would definitely not recommend it, when you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom the light illuminates the whole bedroom as their is one switch for the outside of the bathroom and the toilet!

I am so disappointed with my experience at the DC JW Marriott that I would not stay there again. The room was not thouroghly cleaned. There were dirty articles of clothing in the room from the previous guest. When brought to their attention, the guest service manager was slowto react and assign a new room (they were fully booked!!!). It took 3 telephone calls to have my room reassigned. I expected more from the JW brand. After all if I wanted thrift accomodations I could've booked motel 8.
Family of 4 has wonderful stay!!

Virtually everyone we came in contact with was gracious. The housekeeping staff greeted us warmly as we passed them in the hallway. The front desk, conceierge, and parking attendants were outstanding. The parking attendants worked diligently and quickly to retrieve our car in the midst of busy check in and check out time periods. The concierege provided up to date printed information about restaurants within walking distance to this hotel.
Coming from the midwest where people greet each other regularly, I was concerned that there would be a level of aloofness and disrespect that one finds in larger cities. We were so glad to find that this is a first class establishment which treats their patrons as such. Thank you Marriott--Great Job!!!
