Fairfield Inn by Marriott Washington D.C.
Shower pressure was terrible in our room and the bed was SUPER squeaky every time you moved in it. But other than that we always enjoy this hotel when we visit echostage.

Staff was wonderful. I'd offer people more water in the room, not sure I understood why minibar doesn't come stocked. But every staff person we encountered was just lovely.
