Bad Experience at Wardman Park Marriott Hotel
By the way, if anyone is traveling to Washington, D.C. you should ask if they have finished the interior renovations before you pay a penny to stay at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. The loud hammering in the room just above me started at 7AM. Meanwhile, the bathroom sink filled up with sewage from someone else's room. After complaining ("I'm sorry," they said, "we have a very aggressive construction schedule.") the management offered me a coupon for a free breakfast and, when that did not mollify me, finally agreed to knock $250 off my bill. I would have much preferred a quiet place to sleep and a bathroom sink that worked. I realize they have to do renovations from time to time. But surely they could find a better way to get that done if they put the needs of their guests first. What's more, they must have known about this problem before I checked in. Be warned.

Hi Hal,
We own the Woodley Park Guest House (www.woodleyparkguesthouse.com), a popular little bed and breakfast inn directly across the street from the Marriott Wardman Park. If you need something larger and a bit more luxurious, we also own Embassy Circle Guest House in Dupont Circle (www.embassycircle.com). Next time you are in town, we would love to have you stay with us. We promise much more reasonable rates, no early morning renovations to wake you up, and definitely no sewage in the sink!
