Christmas in Bethesda
Mike R.

As a Washingtonian now living in San Francisco we have stayed at this Marriott hotel property for several years especially during the Christmas & Hanukkah holidays seasons. The primary reason is due to its closeness to my Mom place less than a mile away, easy access to a major 495 highway and Route 355 Rockville Pike and Wisconsin Avenue. The holidays staff is usually very polite and professional. The occupancy is sparse due to the holiday season. There is surface parking which cost $20 per day and seems very reasonable versus what we pay in San Francisco or other major cities. The breakfast is very good at Cooper's Mill restaurant and the atmosphere is charming especially with both the Christmas a d Hanukkah decorations. The only downside are the lack of an actual gift shop as well as the first floor hallway needs an upgrade of carpeting and wall paper which has taken a beating over the years and needs a "refelresh". The guest room we had has been nicely upgraded over the years with modern bedding, television, bathroom and lighting.

Coopers Mill. Farm to table
Shashi B.

The hotel has a very good restaurant called Coopers Mill. Had breakfast there and loved the food and service. Since it's in a hotel you have the option of the buffet. I love trying eggs Benedict wherever you can find it. They had 3 types of eggs Benedict with lobster and crab cakes. I chose the regular one. Coffee was excellent . Service was great and very attentive. Here's what could have been better. AFAIK eggs Benedict have an hollandaise base so they should be a bit tangy. For me the seemed a bit tame. The potatoes were have cut and well and fried right. If I was the chef here, I would add a third garnish to make the dish a bit more outstanding maybe a grilled tomato with a circle of tomato ketchup. Just a wish not a complaint. Nice place in Montgomery county when you want to meet friends or conduct business. Nice location right off 270/495/355 Ave the restaurant and validate the parking.

Surprisingly the Avis / Budget which is in the bottom floor does not have a separate listing but I'm glad to report it's become extremely efficient and friendly since being taken over by new ownership last year, replacing the abomination of an Avis location in the mall. Have used it twice to rent gas powered cars for trips where my EV range was borderline, and got clean vehicles with the promised status upgrades. Avis fleet is generally older than Hertz but well maintained , especially as this is not an airport location where people are just trashing the cars . Highly recommend especially due to friendly service from the management ...

I attended a two-day work conference at Bethesda Marriott and also stayed at the hotel during that time. The hotel is a good location for business travel. It is right off the freeway and is not far from Downtown Bethesda and D.C. I took the train to Union Station in D.C., and then it was a short ride from there to the hotel. Check-in went smoothly. To my pleasant surprise, I was upgraded to a one-bedroom suite due to my Titanium elite status. The suite was so huge. The living room had a couch, a dining table, and a large balcony overlooking the pool. Unfortunately, the balcony door was permanently shut, which was a shame because it would have been nice to step outside and enjoy the weather. It was such a nice room, and I wished that I had more free time to spend in there to make the most of it. There is one restaurant - Cooper's Mill, a rustic farm-to-table experience. I had breakfast and dinner there. The food is good, and it is all locally sourced. M Lounge connects to the restaurant for the breakfast buffet, and it is a quality buffet with a made-to-order omelet station. My breakfast was complimentary thanks to the M Lounge access, but it is an affordable buffet otherwise. The M Lounge is spacious and is a good space to get work done, but I barely used it as I was at my conference most of the time and had a spacious suite for the little free time that I had outside of the conference. The fitness center is huge and looked nice, but I did not go near it at all. I did not have a car, but self-parking is only $19 a night. Overall, Marriott Bethesda is a very nice hotel. I would not choose them for a vacation since they are not in the heart of town or close to major tourist attractions, but I would be happy to stay here again if I am attending another event being held at the hotel.

Pumpkin carving 'front desk'

Stayed overnight for a work conference that was held in their banquet room. Loved loved loved the glass shower. The bed was comfy and the TV clicker worked great. The lunch at the conference was fabulous! Right?! Surprising for a large group that the food was great. So if you are planning a wedding or other event, I recommend the salmon and risotto; they nailed those two. The lobby was in the Halloween spirit with a pumpkin carving contest . Oh and the restaurant inside the hotel, Cooper's Mill was great. Yummy food and fun atmosphere.

Chair?

Can a hotel be 'nice' and not nice at the same time? If so- that's this hotel. It was nice when we walked in, but the hallways weren't nice at all. They felt old and disconnected. I'll also note that the parking lots are weird. There are a few and they're gated. When we received our room key I asked the person where should we park to be closer to our room and she said wherever. After choosing the wrong lot and walking what felt like a mile to get to our room I realized she was wrong. I was there 5 minutes and figured out the room number system. The low numbers were on one side and high on the opposite. We had room #377, almost the final room in the hotel. Why didn't she direct me to the best parking lot to go in to give me the shortest walk to my room. I've shared pictures- but something was off with the carpet and something was very wrong with the walls on the Thurs floor. I legitimately wonder if it's safe. They should not pretend like something's not very wrong here. As an aside, I was bummed they breakfast wasn't included. That happens, but it's a bummer that hen it does. I try to stay at Marriott Bonvoy hotels when we go places and this is not one I'd want to return to.

"As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill" (Bruce Springsteen) When I saw that the Marriott was located on Pooks Hill Road, I just had to learn more about where that odd street's name came from. Well it turns out that the name came from an old 1906 Rudyard Kipling story "Puck of Pook's Hill". I learned that an affluent publisher owned a 150 acre parcel of land in Bethesda, was a fan of that Kipling story, built a huge "castle-like" mansion there, and that the  property was once occupied by exiled Norwegian royalty who fled to the U.S. after the Nazi invasion. Eventually, the mansion was demolished and some decades later, the Marriott was built on the property. And what a grand 19,000 square foot hotel they built! Super modern and gorgeous with a state of the art fitness center (Peloton bikes and TRX equipment), a lovely restaurant (Cooper's Mill) and a spiffy lounge (M Club) for Concierge level guests and qualified Marriott Elites. Our room was excellent. Comfortable beds, excellent built in flat screen TV, plenty of TV stations, plenty of plugs and USB ports everywhere, a big bathroom with a big glass door shower station. We were there for a family event and our rate was $95 + $5.70 state tax + $6.65 county tax. Parking was supposed to be $19/day, but I'll get to that later. Thanks to my brother-in-law's Marriott level, we did visit the M Lounge a few times and it was huge with all kinds of comfortable seating. We held an impromptu family reunion and a meet up with friends in the area there. Now for the parking -it was a mess. Their two lots have a gate that's supposed to open and close with your room key, but it didn't work and we saw that eventually the gates were kept open all the time which kind of defeats the purpose of a gate controlled lot. I really didn't want to pay $38 for nothing (when we checked out another party was voicing the same opinion) and we had the charges dropped from our bill. But all in all, we had a terrific visit worthy of that old Mansion on the Hill.

This is such a beautiful hotel. I loved everything about it. They have a big parking lot. Great restaurant onsite with very good food. The rooms are so spacious with very comfortable beds and pillows. The pool was amazing. I ordered food a few times at the pool with the QR Code and had it delivered right to my chair. It was always fast and friendly service.

M club! It's nice to be a member!
Denise Z.

We have stayed twice. The first time I would have given it a 2 star. If you're a bonvoy make sure you check your preference very well. I have only foam pillows and the hotel took that as a feather allergy not a preference. So they stuck us in a room near the elevator! I pointed out that I was a Elite Marriott member and the young man didn't give us access to the M club. Very annoyed! I was only staying one night so I didn't fuss Pluss for some reason the water in the bathroom on the 6 floor smelled like sulfur. The second stay was much better and I got my access to the M club,it was pretty good especially the full breakfast! The room was clean except for the blow dryer had long black hair stuck in it and so did the tub. Other than that it was a good stay.

Standard double bed room
Thuy Dan T.

I was here for 1 night on a business trip. It's about 30-40 minutes from DCA and is a bit secluded from Bethesda. The building itself seems like it's been modeled and has a nice modern feel to it. The lobby has a strong 'hotel' aroma that's a little too much but once you reach the room floors, it goes away. The amenities are pretty decent, except for no free parking. The fitness room was very well lit with cardio machines and various weights. There is also free printing available next to the check-in counter. The WiFi is decent and if free if you have a Marriott bonvoy account. Also, if you download the Bonvoy app, you can check in/check out straight through the app, completely bypassing the check-in counted. You also have an electronic key which was pretty neat and use your phone similar to the new tap credit card capability. Overall, I had a pleasant 1 night stay here, but wish there was closer food options and sight sees to the hotel (restaurant inside the hotel was ok -- recommend bar-type food only)

King Suite, 05.10.2019.

The Front Desk Associate Keno needs to be cloned. His genuine polished, & welcoming demeanor made my checking in easy. As I was trying to stay above the fray of crazed children taking over the hotel due to a school tour. My brief parking glitch of not being able to access the parking lot through the gate, had Keno without hesitation waived the parking fee. The Lobby area has different pockets to lounge in with TV's, a central place where guests can sit, chat, work & charge devices. Aromatherapy is present throughout the entire lobby, with comfortable decor providing a laid back atmosphere. The standard king size room gave enough room to move around, with hardwood floors, a built in flat screen TV, a comfy chaise in the corner with a personal reading light. The shower only bathroom came stocked with Thann products. The onsite restaurant Cooper's Mill is a hot spot all within itself with its lively bar/lounge/restaurant vibe. Room Service can be delivered to the room or you can pick up your order from the Host Stand...the latter you can pay with cash & avoid the room tax charge. Other amenities includes a Sundry Store, Exclusive M Club Lounge, state of the art Fitness Center with Peloton Bikes/TRZ equipment, a seasonal outdoor pool, patio & complimentary shuttle for getting around locally. Arriving the hotel looks outdated, yet inside along with the rooms the recent renovations makes a huge difference...it was a good stay.

Crabcake
Carol K.

Best Crabcake I've ever had! I absolutely LOVE seafood so I've been to all the highly rated seafood restaurants, but hands down Cooper's Mill beats the competition. Most places skimp on the crab and add a bunch of filler for an unreasonable price. The crabcake here was huge and stuffed with only crab. It comes on a bun with fresh lettuce, tomato, and a side of fries. I thought it was such a good deal for only $18! I'll definitely be back with friends and family soon!

After dinner one night, we walked around downtown Bethesda and happened upon Henry's Sweet Retreat…read more Luckily, we saved room for dessert, and Henry's hit the spot. We got a blueberry pop tart, and some raspberry scones, along with a chocolate covered vanilla cupcake. Yummy! The only problem is that Henry's is not just a dessert bakery - the store may appear tiny on the outside, but it's huge on the inside. In addition to the bakery, they got all kinds of candy and other goodies for sale. I gotta stop back in another day and try all the other good stuff inside. Plus, you can tell from the Rick Astley-inspired sign outside, Henry's has a great sense of humor. This is exactly what small business brings to the neighborhood. Stop by and visit Henry's Sweet Retreat - you'll be glad you did!

The small sundaes were huge! Kids could not finish them and at $7ish each hard to beat for the quality! I had an eggnog cupcake. I was not sure it would be good but whatever magic y'all put in it worked great together! The frosting was light and fluffy not too sweet not too bland. And the cake was moist, not crumbly, not heavy just perfect! Had a latte with soymilk because my belly does not care for milk in coffee. Local coffee company supplies the beans. They also have pretty much any kind of candy, pies, and sweets you might need and apparently they cater! Stop in you will not regret it...unless you do not like sweets and then I am sorry.

Bethesda Country Club - 18th hole. Beautiful par 4 with a reverse camber fairway. I love that the clubhouse and green open up as you walk up the fairway.

I am always happy to visit this club. The course is excellent. It has a smaller footprint than…read moremost, but they truly maximized the space. The greens and green surrounds are some of the best. The fast green speeds on a daily basis function well with the slopes. One rarely has a straight putt here. The surrounds have a great mixture of tight fairway grass, thick rough, and deep bunkers. Each hole has playable spots which make strategy an essential part of scoring well here. Some people may think it's too short, but I think that adds to the level of thought getting around this track. Many times driver off the tee is not the play, and that is also pin specific. Not a lot of courses around here get to that level which is why I always have fun. I have many favorite holes. The par 3s probably stand out the most in my mind. Each has a different type of elevation change and each asks a different question off the tee. They are just so good. I also love the par 5 4th hole. It looks like things kick left off the tee but there's some subtle slope that keeps your drive going straight. After that, the second shot is blocked by a tree and a well placed bunker on the right, and everything kicks left. Then the green has one of the deepest bunkers guarding short left. Essentially, you have to take on some risk not matter what. What adds to it is how getable that second shot is with a perfectly placed tee shot. That hole has so many layers. The driving range is good. I just need to set up my Trackman app the next time I'm here to get the most out of it. The putting green is awesome. So many ridges running through it, just like you would see on the golf course. There is a chipping green and bunkers towards the back of the parking lot as well. It's little used but should provide any shot you need from 75 yards and in. The members have been welcoming and fun to get to know. I have been here about a dozen times and only had one not so great interaction. Luckily we skipped a couple of holes to get around them and continued to have a lot of fun that day. I haven't explored the clubhouse much, but the food I got one time was excellent and I loved sitting outside with our excellent server. I am sorry I forgot to get his name! It is always a treat to come out here. I hope to do so again in the near future!

Manisha and Prashsant, owners of Stone Manor Inn, were personally involved in making sure all went smoothly with our cocktail and dinner party, and it most certainly did! SMI is a lovely old country inn on 14 acres, I believe, with a number of different venues (indoors and out) for meetings, parties, and weddings. The rooms (7 in total) were eclectic, in a good way. All four of their largest rooms that we occupied were spacious, with king beds and spa tubs with separate showers. All were well maintained and clean upon check-in. We had no complaints.

I was on the fence to book this place given its hefty price tag, and glad I went for it and completely agree with the glowing 5 star reviews. The bubbly host Manisha is very warm and welcoming. She cordially gave us a 20 min tour around the property, which was built in 1908, and even gave me a bonus tour of the other rooms afterwards. She kindly answered all of our questions and didn't rush us. The Peacecock Room is the most spacious and best room (aside from the bridal suite), elaborately decorated in peacocks. We loved it! The little touches like the handmade soap, a set of wine glasses, and a wine opener made the stay so memorable and special. While the rooms aren't temperature controlled, the electric flameless fireplace kept the room warm. The double capacity jacuzzi was perfect for my hubby and I and even had lights (some of the other rooms have smaller jacuzzi, so be sure to check). The rooms were clean minus a couple of lady bugs and stink bugs (which is too be expected out in the country). Dr. Fauci's assistant stayed here and Manisha informed us of the extensive sanitation process, even the pillows and decorations are quarantined for 6 days! The backyard is well groomed and really spacious with a nice patio and heat lamp, which kept us warm sitting outside in the frigid winter. Our dog loved running around! You can see the stars and constellations really well. It would make a great wedding venue! The Christmas decorations around the property are really nice. The owners really go the extra mile and put a lot of TLC into the property. The 6 course breakfast is delicious and bursting with flavor. Between the veggie quiche, cheesy potatoes, scone, pancakes, yogurt, and fresh OJ, I was stuffed! The fresh butterscotch scone was divine and devoured my mine and my hubby's! The cheesy potato had a nice spicy kick. Everything was so fresh and delicious. All the courses come out at once on a large tray. While my hubby and I chose to sit at the communal table (the chairs are roughly 6 feet apart), you can take the tray up to your room. Manisha and her family greeted us and thoroughly explained the dishes and chatted with us for a bit, even her son made an appearance! The bed and breakfast has a nice bar with wine, cider, and alcohol based on an honor code system. Water and soda is complementary, they even had Coke 0! The complementary fudgy brownies by the breakfast area during the day were sweet and tasty. Again the little complimentary stuff gives this bed and breakfast a nice resort feel. Very relaxing stay and looking forward to coming back!
