JW Marriott Washington DC

JW Marriott Washington DC

5/5 Excellent
Gorgeous but lacking in quality caffeination
"The JW is always beautiful. Located close to all the great restaurants, shopping and monuments. I had a gorgeous room with beautiful corner rooms. The only thing that could be improved was the coffee machine in the room. With all the options for single serve coffee makers, the ones at the JW are uncharacteristically low budget, considering the price and quality of the establishment. "
