I stayed at the Crystal Gateway Marriott for a work conference. The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from the airport which is extremely convenient. Hotel check in was quick and efficient and staff was kind enough to allow me to check in early. There is a restaurant and bar onsite that offers pick up and room service should you not want to eat in the restaurant. Great place to stay if working in the area.

Once in a while we like to explore around DC and try the many amenities Marriott has to offer.

This hotel is nice and has many great amenities. However, there are certain things I don't like lately.
1. How can you charge for bottled water in a hotel that is already expensive? Paying for water may be good at a cheap B&B, but in a 4- stars hotel? You should consider ditching the useless free bibles and start providing something needed, water, for example.

2. Coffee. There is a one pouch of regular coffee and one pouch of decaffeinated coffee, and two creams. Really? If you want freshly brewed coffee, they charge $2 per cup at Fresh Bites.

This place is beautiful, but it needs to focus more on traveler's essentials. Also, if you are going to put a bibles in a room, I'd expect to see every single faith not just a Christian Bible and a Book of Mormon. That is disrespectful.
