Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center

The water pressure in this hotel was out of this world. It felt like I was being power washed when I took a shower. Also, the hot water was HOT. You didn't have to wait for it to get hot. I loved it.

The lake was nice. Very clean and updated facilities. It was great. The Rio area was a nice place to be. Staff was great.

The breakfast was way over priced and you could tell many things were frozen and not made fresh. The staff was great from check in to the bar and the restaurant and the cleaning service. I really despised being a paying overnight guest and still had to pay to park. I would have rather that fee been incorporated into the room rate to begin with, I never would have thought twice about it..

The staff was very helpful

Happy with everything

The Staff was awesome and really pleasant! I loved their greeting, assistance and readiness to make sure we were comfortable. The Lobby, common and main areas were very warm, inviting and pleasing to the eye. The aura/ atmosphere of the hotel was very relaxing and I appreciated the fact that it was "hidden" but safe and there was ample parking. My bed was firm, yes still soooo comfortable; it felt like I fell asleep on a bed of feathers. The view of the Lake and lights at Rio from my room was the best part A+++++

The room was dated and there was no WIFI; it came at a cost even though I am a Marriot Bonvoy Member. I also didn't like the fact that I had to pay for parking, again as a Marriot Bonvoy Member I would have expected this to be free. My room was not updated and smelled like old paint. Also, I got a funny smell especially when I put on the heat. The scent triggered my sinus and I had to take a pill to alleviate the reaction, Management was responsive and eager to resolve the problem. However, they did not perceive the scent as I did but still sprayed the room with a very pleasant disinfectant spray. I was tired and displaced because of emergency work at our home that was not far away and expected to be wowed at that price. The restaurant did not have many options and so we bought food on the outside. Good restaurants close by at Rio was a plus also.
