Courtyard by Marriott Bethesda Chevy Chase
Friendship Village|0.32km de SPE Dive School
This hotel was really a pleasant surprise after reading some of the less-than-glowing recent reviews. We stayed there years ago and it was just okay. But the criticisms must have hit home because the room was clean (and spacious enough not to feel cramped), it was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the hotel staff was among the friendliest, most responsive and most helpful I've run into (I've stayed in my share of hotels and I put a premium on the service end of things). If you compare the price to other hotels in the DC area, even taking into account the Courtyard's nightly parking fee ($18/night) , it is a bargain. They have plenty of parking with both an outdoor lot and a large (and well lit) basement garage. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the Friendship Heights Metro station (the Metro trip from there to downtown took only 22 minutes )and there are a number of good eateries and shopping locations within easy walking distance. Chevy Chase is a very nice town too for those of you who are not familiar with the area. We were there over Easter weekend and this place blew away anything comparable that I looked at elsewhere in DC when it came to price. I've stayed in a few of the higher end hotels downtown (mostly near the Capitol) and paid 2 to 3 times as much for rooms that were smaller and in hotels that had the same or fewer amenities. And the biggest surprise was that the food at their restaurant was pretty good. Most hotels in this price range do not have stellar food and I usually avoid the food. But we arrived late, were tired and thus gave it a shot. We got a good burger and a nice Caesar salad. If you don't want to pay the arm and a leg that you'll pay to be downtown or even in other areas in or near DC, but still be close enough to see or do anything you would do from a downtown hotel, then this is your place. We would definitely stay here again.
