Had an amazing experience at Seventh State for my mom’s birthday! Our server Griffin went above and beyond — attentive, professional, and made the night feel special. The cocktails were outstanding, and every dish from appetizers to entrées was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend for both the food and the service.

The service was so great I have to book another stay. Comfortable bed. Great bathroom. I had a traditional breakfast, however I wish I ordered the buffet instead the fresh fruits and many options made the buffet look so good. Before checking out I visited the gym and it was spectacular. I have to mention staff amazing customer service, again. Very professional and inviting. Looking forward to another stay soon. I took home the hazelnut chocolate croissant and it’s worth going back for all on its own.

Great location near Bethesda Row & Metro Station. M Club Lounge offers lovely selection of rotating food options. Service is as good as to be expected right next to the corporate headquarters. Highly recommend for those looking to be right outside DC.

I would like to give a special thanks to the front desk ladies ! They were very sweet and hospitable, I was not even a guest , but I asked for a safety pin and they were all ready to assist me with my wardrobe malfunction. Christal took the extra mile and helped me stitching it. I really appreciate that assistance from Marriott employees and their customers service .

We were very impressed with this newer hotel in downtown Bethesda. The restaurant staff, specifically Griffin, was excellent and the food was great. The decor was Modern and the hotel was very clean/well-kept. They thought of the client when designing this hotel. We have enjoyed many Marriott properties around the world, and this jewel should be considered a boutique marquee hotel.
