via Stay22About this place Embassy Suites Hotel at the Chevy Chase Pavilion
The Embassy Suites Hotel at the Chevy Chase Pavilion, in the buttoned-up Friendship Heights neighborhood, gives you suites between Maryland and downtown Washington, DC. It's an all-suite hotel, so you get more space than a standard room, which is often what people are after when they book here.
DC's a good city for LGBTQ+ travelers, and has been for a while. The Chevy Chase address puts you a bit out of the downtown action, which can be nice if you want to dial down the buzz after a night out or a day of museums. It's a quieter, more residential spot.
Because every room is a suite, you're looking at separate sleeping and living areas. Handy for spreading out, or if someone in your party likes to stay up later. Friendship Heights itself has shopping and places to eat, and it's easy enough to get downtown or to other parts of the city from here. For specifics on what they have right now, or to check prices, head to embassysuitesdcmetro.com.

Really quiet, which is nice. Since all of the businesses and industry have left this pavilion area so it feels like a ghost town in there. The rooms and everything were nice, the hard part is when you travel with kids, most kids want to go to the swimming pool. However, this swimming pool is different than any other pool I’ve ever seen in a hotel. If you’re lucky, They only block off a small 1/4 of the pool for hotel guests. I guess when you’re desperate for money, you’re desperate for money! They literally do swim lessons for all the DC Beta bots that work all day in their suits and sit on their cell phones while their kids do swimming lessons in a hotel pool. I’m not gonna lie. It was pretty comical just looking at all the parents staring at their phones while their kids are swimming, they don’t even comment or talk to them as if they’re proud of them or anything. The DC machine at its best. Living in a concrete jungle…. But other than that, a great hotel if you don’t want your kids to swim in the pool. lol or if you just want to learn how to not be a bad parent, you can go watch all of these parents in the pool area.
The rooms are large enough to land a jet in! Loved the unexpected space and great panopticon view of central space leading off the rooms. Great location and a great place to stay!
I cannot really complain about the hotel. The view from our room was fantastic. Overall I would consider it great. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Room service is great. The shower pressure is strong, it may be a little too strong but i was okay to handle it. The breakfast was great, for dinner I just wanted a Salad and honestly it was delicious. Pricey yes, but still delicious enough where I cleaned my plate. For my CONS, the shower curtain sucked, the inside liner was cut short it caused the floor to get wet with a lot of water. I had to put the entire curtain inside to help with the water. The curtain doesn't even stay closed, so no matter what you do water is spraying out. The water drained slow but not too bad where I’m standing in a pool of water. The one elevator door was not closing properly, so it ended up being stuck. I refused to dare step in that one. The pool seemed tiny and not as nice as the photos.
Hotel needs some updates.
We stayed in this hotel last year and everything was good. We recently stayed here again. Service has really deteriorated. Our room wasn't cleaned and I had to hunt down another cleaner on our floor and tell the guy to clean our room. The days our room WAS cleaned, the beds were not made properly. I had to remake the bed before going to bed. The two phones in our room weren't working. I had to go all the way down to the front desk to tell. They did send someone and he fixed the phone. On the positive side, breakfast was plentiful. The metro is conveniently located inside the hotel which is very useful. There are plenty of restaurants in the area. I wouldn't recommend staying at this hotel. I know we won't be staying at this hotel again in the future. Hotel really needs renovation badly.
