華盛頓五月花萬豪普爾斯假日俱樂部飯店(Marriott Vacation Club at the Mayflower, Washington, D.C.)

All Junior Suites on the Pulse 7th floor are not created equal. They are not the same size, nor have the same amenities. We discovered that truth this time around. The Club Lounge is still not open, so having breakfast at Edgars is a pricey endeavor. Their website says this "property features well-appointed guest rooms and suites that offer guests a blend of modern style and historic elegance." Our smallish suite was neither well appointed, not even a table by the chair or sofa to put a glass on, nor a microwave even though there is a full sized dining room table in the room, and one small closet, and certainly not elegant with tears in the sofa, carpeting that is falling a part and shower doors that don't fully close. The 7th floor was given over to create the Pulse in 2015 it seems it has not be refurbished since then. This could be a great Pulse, it has a perfect location and an excellent hard working staff, if it would live up to its web site description. One new thing? After a number of years of complaints and the pandemic, each room now has a coffee maker.

The Mayflower is a lovely place to stay - a little noisy given its location but not unbearable. However, the thermostat in my room was hidden behind a very large lamp leading to a very cold first night before I found it. Also, it would be nice if the Edgar was open later for late night drinks for those staying in the hotel.

I am a longtime Marriott timeshare owner, over two decades. We own timeshares at the Timberlodge, Ko Olina, Waiohai, and Palm Desert Villas 2. I am also a titanium elite member, which means at least 75 Marriott stays per year. Needless to say, I have a lot of experience with both timeshare and hotel properties owned by Marriott. I have also stayed at the Pulse properties in SF and San Diego. We checked into the Mayflower Pulse today. When I compare this room to other Marriott Pulses, timeshares, AND Marriott hotels, this property hits well below all marks. First, this is NOT like other Pulses or hotels. Other Marriott pulses and timeshares have silverware, dishes, and microwaves etc, as timeshares are meant for extended stays, unlike hotels. This Pulse has None of the above. It’s a tiny hotel room that lacks even basic hotel, and even motel, features. For example, every hotel I’ve ever stayed in has rudimentary furnishings, like NIGHTSTANDS. I have never stayed in a hotel- I have stayed at literally hundreds of hotels around the world- that didn’t even have nightstands. I measured the space beside the bed and went online and found several nightstands that fit the spaces. It really is quite remarkable that a simple, extremely basic, very affordable detail like a nightstand, something that is found in pretty much every hotel, is not even here. I needed to leave this review so that you can plan accordingly and manage, or lower, your expectations. For saavy travelers, and for those who are looking to use their Marriott timeshare points at a Pulse, don’t use them at this one. The location is good but that is it. The Metro gets you everywhere so you don’t need a “prime” location if you prefer a bigger space and basic features offered in other hotel rooms, like nightstands. The San Francisco Pulse and the San Diego Pulse are fantastic. For this Pulse, save your points and just book a DC hotel. Internet is also not reliable, either, for those needing good access.

We are Marriott Vacation Club owners visiting a Club Pulse property for the first time. First impressions are positive: We checked in at 8:30 am and were pleased to learn that there was a room ready on the 7th floor, which is the club pulse floor with complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning and afternoon snacks. There is a concierge station where the friendly staff can provide tour maps and assist with restaurant reservations, etc. The room is a regular hotel room, very recently renovated. In fact, there’s still some construction work going on, but expected to be done this week. The room is sp****ly furnished but clean. We were told that some new furniture is pending delivery. Nonetheless, there’s a mini fridge, keurig coffee machine and safe deposit. The location is central to lots of tourist attractions and great restaurants. The hotel itself is historic; we look forward to exploring the building. Check in was friendly and quick. Will update the review at the end of our stay, but so far so good.

Only two queen beds for 3 adults was not a great option for us and the hotel did not offer another reasonable affordable option. There was no sofa sleeper or roll out beds. We defaulted to an air mattress that no one was trilled about for three nights. We otherwise met Kevin on the first day and he was helpful with great local info, was always friendly, and he always offered a daily warm greeting and smile. Kevin did his part to help make our experience in DC an overall great family visit.

The outdoor and interior aesthetics were excellent! The location was excellent. Hotel staff was accommodating. Dislikes: the bathroom was spacious but poorly designed (e.g. toilet paper location is borderline inaccessible). The bathroom ventilation fan seemed ineffective.

The quality of all Marriott Vacation Club properties has gone downhill recently, but this property might be the worst of their collection. Our room was disgusting—dirty, stinky, and dated. The entire building feels dingy.

Great hotel, awesome location, near to the airport. Great staff!

This property is very luxurious. The lobby is quite nice and the chandeliers were very nicely laid out. Additionally, the Christmas decorations was quite good. The check-in experience was good, however, the challenge was getting luggage to the room. Since there is almost hardly any parking space, getting the luggage unloaded and then separately park was car was a bit inconvenient. Regardless, the good thing is that the property did advice that we should find a parking spot in advance nearby. We used iparkit to get the parking garage for our stay. Coming back to the hotel, the room was really nice. The two queen beds were very comfortable and the wallpapers were nicely done. The room was really big and spacious. The coat room and bathroom were also quite spacious. This property is quite close to White House (walking distance) and it is convenient to take cabs to visit museums nearby. Overall, a wonderful experience with Marriott Vacation Club property.
