DOUBLETREE BY HILTON BETHESDA

Although the lobby area is under construction, the overall vibe of this hotel screams high end luxury. Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly and the rooms are big and very clean. I love the floor to ceiling windows! The rooftop pool was amazing. Large and clean! The breakfast buffet was excellent! Soooo many choices and food was fresh and delicious. You can even get made to order eggs and omelettes! SHOUTOUT to MARTHA, our breakfast server. She immediately greeted us and was extremely friendly and professional. It was a pleasure coming to a hotel restaurant and having a perfect experience from start to finish. Martha was a doll and an amazing asset to the Bethesdan! She is hard working, quick and I felt as though I have known her for years. Thank you Martha and the excellent staff!

Great service, ESPECIALLY the breakfast staff!

I traveled extensively on business for three decades. I was a 3-million miler on American Airlines and held a concierge key. I have never experienced a more terrible experience than this hotel for a wedding in the area. The entire public area of the hotel was under construction - a fact which should have been disclosed before I booked the room. Everything in the room was broken - flashing lights in the bathroom, where none of the sockets worked, such low lights in the room so I had to use my phone flashlight to see anything, the coffee machine was broken in the lobby so they could make a latte, one of the elevators did not work the entire time I was there, and so on ... STAY AWAY ... there are at least two Marriotts in the area with pools which was why I booked this hotel.
