Feb 13, 2025It’s more like a Marriott or Sheraton than a JW Marriott
Just stayed at the JW in DC for a few days for a family trip to DC. This resort is very well located near the White House and walking distance to a lot of consulates, government buildings, parks and attractions. Now, why the 3 stars? Well this JW Marriott is more like a regular Marriott than a JW. Actually, I think it even gets closer to a Sheraton. I’ve been to many JW in the past and they aren’t no St. Regis or Ritz but they do come close. Not this one. I’m not sure why Marriott would allow the JW brand to take a hit on its reputation by making this one. I think it was a Marriott at one time since many apps call it that but if it was, all stayed the same and they just changed the name. The restaurant onsite leave a lot to desire. The elite lounge looks like a breakfast bar from the Fairfield Inn. Coffee taste terrible. There is two onsite restaurants (one is more of a bar). The restaurant that opens for all meals isn’t good. Taste is bland and portions are small. They don’t carry some items that you would expect from a luxury brand like oat milk. You can tell that the hotel went through a bit of renovations when it was made into a JW but that doesn’t show in the rooms as the rooms are typical for a 2000’s Marriott with a small tub, no amenities, tiny rooms and tiny bathrooms. Even the coffee on the rooms is your typical coffee you would expect in the lower Marriott brands. It’s clearly a disappointment if you are paying and expecting a JW experience but getting a much lower level. If you are a business person just staying one night then this might do. If you are a bit bougie and enjoy the quality of the JW brand, then you might want to go elsewhere…. Maybe the Ritz, the Pendry or the St. Regis. Sorry to be so negative, I’m just stating facts I wish I knew before booking.

Jan 25, 2025Horrendous visit, AVOID this hotel!
Came for a weekend conference on cervical cancer and discovered the hotel was completely inundated with UNCHAPERONED pro-life teenagers- here for an anti-abortion conference IN THE HOTEL. Kids under 18 wearing MAGA hats and DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD hoodies running up and down hallways all night long, sleeping on couches in the lobby, running in and out of the bar, hitting all room floors of the elevator to the point they broke, and being rude and obnoxious. We complained several times and staff refused to do anything. Totally unacceptable. Would never stay here again.

Jan 19, 2025Great visit. Near museums and very good restaurants
We had a great room. Very comfortable and clean. Beds were very comfortable Breakfast was great - not free but worth the price. Location was also great. Washington was getting ready for Trumps inauguration so barricades were going up all over the place which made sightseeing difficult but that was not the fault of the hotel! They did their best to help get taxis through all the chaos . We plan on staying there again

Jan 03, 2025Great location, beautiful hotel!
The location of this hotel is amazing!! You can easily walk to many DC attractions and there are many great restaurants nearby. The lobby is beautiful and there are many well appointed sitting areas and work stations. The staff is mostly friendly. I did not give this hotel a five star rating due to the very small rooms and small beds and the extremely expensive parking which is valet only so on top of the $69 per night parking. You are also tipping each time you need to drive your car. I would definitely recommend this hotel for cleanliness and location and good service.

Solid Stay
Good hotel, not Great. When you close your eyes and think of a JW Marriott, this is probably what you expect. The location of the hotel is prefect and cant really be beat. The service was standard, nothing stood out either way. The best way I can sum up this hotel is, Its better than a Marriott, worse than the Ritz or St. Regis. I would stay here again. Also I should note that I had a great corporate rate of around $290/nt for the stay. If I had paid $600+ i'd say its not worth it.
