Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Maryland-DC Suburbs (Bethesda-South Rockville) Marriott Pooks Hil

[fattycrab]

I made the huge mistake of thinking that I would get one

of the hotels near the Bethesda metro. BIG MISTAKE.

I should know better by now but clearly I was hopeful.

I added the area because this past week in DC has been

a complete disaster. Graduations and conventions while

the Congress is in session.

The Marriot Bethesda is located near but not close to the Medical

Center Metro Station. They have a shuttle but it was not running

late at night after work. I paid ten dollars and waited thirty minutes

for a cab to pick me up. Meh. The lesson here is that Bethesda like Silver

Springs is a big area.

Thank you for sharing your results with the board.

Sorry to hear the location of this property didn't work out as well for your plans as you had hoped.

There are a few Marriott properties in this zone, can you please indicate the address of the one you received.

Thank you for sharing your PRICELINE win with the board.

Hope your future stays go more smoothly.

Here goes again.

So, I was desperate and bid adding the area of Bethesda

thinking that I would get one of the hotels near the Bethesda

Metro. Nope. I still do not learn.

I got the Marriot Bethesda after adding all the DC areas closer

to the dowtown. This would not be so bad as the hotel has a shuttle

to the closest metro station which is Medical Center Station and one stop beyond

Bethesda. However, as I finished my corporate work at 11 pm, I had to fend for myself

insofar as a taxi which took forever.

The hotel was fine and even had laundry facilities but I felt a bit out of the way.

Lesson- never bank on getting the same properties as other posts. Really look at the

outskirts.

Good to see that you liked the hotel even if you wished for a better location.
