This is the place to stay for a visit to DC.

This hotel is great. Clean huge rooms, metro stop right under the hotel in the mall. Weekend rate is really reasonable. We needed a rollaway, and what they brought was actually a twin bed on wheels- very comfortable. Front desk and restaurant staff very polite.
Two adult breakfasts included with the room is a wonderful touch - food is very good (try the crunchy french toast!)
Down sides - the concierge is not very helpful with tour infomration, so have that already planned.
Concierge lounge hours are not at all convenient, and the business center charges for interent access. (There are 2 free computers in the lobby, but getting access to them is limited..
And if you are planning on taking the free airport shuttle - walk around to the Marriott Gateway and catch it there. They load first, and we were lucky to get a seat - some people got left behind and had to wait 1/2 hour for the next one.
All in all, a very nice stay - and will certainly stay there again.
