What guests think

Across recent reviews, Residence Inn Bethesda Downtown is praised for its friendly staff, spacious suite-style rooms, and walkable location near the Metro and dining, with many guests highlighting the complimentary breakfast and solid value for the area.

However, valet-only parking and its cost come up frequently, and some reviews cite housekeeping lapses or dated room elements like worn upholstery, inconsistent AC, or poor lighting. Several guests appreciated the renovated fitness center; on-site dining beyond breakfast is limited. Overall, expect a comfortable, convenient base in Bethesda with strong service and a few trade-offs.

Stayed in the suite which was clean and spacious. The breakfast was top notch although the 2nd floor where the breakfast was served was not air conditioned? Parking was 20 for the day or 35 overnight. The lot right behind the hotel was public parking for 22 overnight. Very convenient location to Bethesda Metro stop.

We had an all too short stay at the Marriott Residence Inn in downtown Bethesda, Maryland. Our room was huge, great mattress, spotlessly clean kitchenette and bathroom. The hallways smelled so fresh and inviting not at all stale and uninviting like many hotels. Staff was professional and pleasant. And the price was reasonable! Would I recommend this place? Absolutely!

The Marriott is notoriously known for "horrible lighting"!!! Two small lights on each side of the bed, no overhead light,no magnifying mirror in the bathroom, terrible light there too! Our room was against another building so hardly any sunlight to help the situation! As a woman who uses make-up, how are you suppose to prepare for an event? Not good enough....

The location is great for getting public transportation (bus and metro) and there is a lot of shopping and restaurants in the area (walking distance). I liked having the countertop sink area to put toiletries on and appreciated the closet bar was not too high (I am quite short). Apparently they are about to do renovations which are really needed - tje place needs a refresh. Appreciated the on site laundry facility at a pretty reasonable prices.

I had a great stay at this hotel — the location is excellent, just steps from Bethesda Row with a wide variety of restaurants, shops, and cafes. It’s also only minutes from the Bethesda Metro Station, making it very convenient for getting around. There’s a beautiful nearby trail perfect for running, walking, or biking. The hotel offers a free breakfast with plenty of excellent choices, which was a great way to start the day. The 24-hour fitness center is a nice amenity, though I was a bit disappointed to learn that the pool is no longer available — something to keep in mind if that’s important to you.

The hotel was pretty clean. The location was great. Able to walk to many restaurants. The hotel itself was just kind of blah. I should have researched more, but it was nothing to it. No nice lobby or restaurant for drinks and room service. It did have a nice breakfast that was included though. Other then location, the breakfast was the best part. Also, hotel parking was pretty expensive, so we paid for a much more affordable parking garage on walking distance to the hotel.

Expedia needs to do a better job describing the cost of parking and WiFi at their hotels. The parking was $30/day and the WiFi as 4.95/day per device. The place itself was very nice and so was the hot breakfast…… which is also described as continental on Expedias site.
