This was definitely a great stay. The establishment is modern, clean with very helpful staff. It is located in the heart of things. Museums, and great places to eat are close by if you want to get out and about. If not, the food is excellent in-house.
In summary it’s a pleasant, very well-located hotel, and FOH staff work hard to keep customers happy. But poor fit and finish in rooms, chaotic housekeeping, billing issues, and slow customer support aren’t in keeping with the luxury positioning. In depth: Reception staff were superb: friendly, helpful, professional, and a surprise upgrade to a suite was most welcome. The restaurant is also very good and its staff, while occasionally overattentive, do a good job. Location couldn’t be much better for easy walks to a plethora of DC’s sights, museums, restaurants, shops, and transport. The rooms lack a luxury look and feel. They’re spacious and afford impressive views, but blandly and sp****ly furnished in a way that feels very cost conscious. Sound insulation is poor, to the extent that conversations and TVs in neighbouring rooms are clearly audible, as is street noise during peak times. Water pressure is extremely low, so the rain shower is rather more like soft drizzle . As with other Hilton hotels since the pandemic, there’s no minibar, no menus, no guest directory. It all feels rather spartan. Housekeeping is poor. Carpets and soft furnishings seemed grubby. The sofa, in particular, had several stains that looked like they could be removed if anyone cared to try. Clean glasses placed in the room had lip marks on the rim. Our coffee supplies were often not replenished. The second time we mentioned it, on returning to our room, we found two plastic bags stuffed with coffee, sugar, and cream dumped on the table — a distinct “here, stop bothering us” vibe. The breakfast, though very nice, is costly if you’re not getting the Food & Beverage Credit. There’s no end of alternatives nearby. There’s an obligatory 25% tip plus $5 delivery on room service. Laundry costs are such that I found it more cost effective to simply buy some extra clothes. Finally, our Food & Beverage Credit wasn’t applied to our bill. Hilton don’t answer replies to your receipt, so you have to fuss with corporate contact centres, chatbots and web forms. Took nearly a week to get a response, though to their credit they cleared our food bill as a goodwill gesture.
The hotel is comfortable and spacious, with the elegance of an old-fashioned hotel. The breakfast is freshly made and delicious. Go to the central grassland, the core attraction, and the White House can be reached on foot. Two blocks away is Chinatown, which is convenient for eating. Macy's and various famous stores are not far away. One stop for all requirements.
The only downside is that there is a humming in the ventilation duct that is facing, it must be replaced.

The location is convenient, the room facilities are brand new, clean and comfortable. The front desk took the initiative to introduce the hotel to additional discounts and actively helped us arrange two rooms together. The view outside the window is also perfect! Recommended!
I was in D.C. for a conference and stayed for 4 nights. My mother came to visit and we were blown away by the incredible hospitality of the staff at the Marriott Metro Center! Ebony at the valet station was incredibly lovely and helpful, as was Neville, Trey, and Kali. They helped us find a room on the 10th floor away from the construction (which is now happening in the lobby and fitness center area) and I was able to work on Zoom without any issues. The location is superb and we appreciated the Starbucks downstairs and the delicious salads at the hotel restaurant. The people were simply the best. We will be back!
The hotel is conveniently located close to famous attractions. The decoration style of the hotel is very good, the room is very nice and clean. There is also a gym, bar, very convenient.

We had a wonderful experience with both Bret and Denise during our stay this weekend. They were attentive, accommodating, and ensured we had everything we needed for our weekend enjoying DC. They offered us free bikes to use for both days touring around the city and our hotel room was outstanding and private. We didn’t get the chance to dine at the restaurant, but very close was a ***** of restaurants and bars that we absolutely adored. We appreciated every second of our stay… highly recommend!
Throughly enjoyed my room and experience. The breakfast service in the restaurant was a little slow and inconsistent - one morning we had very prompt and fast service the other it took 15 minutes for a server to take our order - which isn't unique to the Darcy - I have had this issue with many hotels with staffing issues of late. The restaurant and bar area were nice and the menu had great options. The hotel room and bathroom were clean and the room was quiet.
