    I was afraid to use this service! Getting to the airport with two little ones in car seats is either impossible or expensive without taking your own car. I was mostly worried about the shuttle service but it departed on time at 6:05AM and it arrived within minutes to bring us back to the hotel when we came home. The driver did have to pass others waiting for a ride, as we were full up, (we had gotten on at the first stop thankfully) and my children were on our laps. And one guy was going to sit on the floor. But the driver called another shuttle so I hope the others did not have to wait long. She didn't look happy. I guess your van is too small, since you've got demand. However, if I had been passed up I would have been pretty disappointed too.

    The bus shuttle isn't dependable. I couldn't find a parking space so I had to wait until someone left. (Not acceptable.

    I had very good service to the airport. The service back to the hotel was horrible. The hotel was a quite easy to drive to and the check-in process was fairly quick. The receptionist was very friendly and quick (and busy). The shuttle was about to depart to the airport as soon as I parked my car. The shuttle driver was friendly. On my way back to pick up the car was a horror story. I waited for 45 minutes for the shuttle. I called the hotel, and nobody picked up the phone. I waited another 20 minutes and called the hotel again. Someone picked up the phone and said the shuttle will be there soon. Waited another 15 minutes, still no shuttle. Had to pay $10 for the cab to get to the hotel to pick up my car. IMHO, park elsewhere, or park in the economy lot for $12/day.

    Over the past year, the service at the Courtyard Crystal City has changed. It went from prompt and after hours shuttle service to poor service. Apparently, the shuttle service is no longer the hotel's own, but rather one for several Marriott hotels in the area which has increased the wait time for the shuttle at the hotel. Further, the shuttle service now ends at 11, meaning that you will have to pay for a cab to take you to the hotel if you arrive on a late flight.

    The shuttles do NOT run every 15 minutes. The last 3 times I came in, all in the late morning, the shuttle to this hotel wasn't running AT ALL. I had to take other hotels' shuttles (tip: the Hyatt is right next door, and is more reliable) just to get to my car. I will not be using this hotel to park at again.

    The shuttle never showed up at the airport. AGAIN. When I took the shuttle of a neighboring hotel and walked to this one, the hotel shuttle was sitting in front. Where it sat the entire time I complained to the hotel front desk. They said they would escalate to the manager, who would call me. She never did.

    The shuttle service was prompt when going to the airport. However, like others have noted, the return is NOT every 15 minutes. We waited for over a 30 on the return. One nice thing was that it was easy to get back on the road to home. The coins used to enter and exit the parking area, were easy to use and quick !

    Shuttle service on the way out was prompt. On the way from the airport back to the hotel it took a long wait for the Marriot to show up, but I would definitely use this again! So much more economical than the garages on site and easy to use.

    The return shuttle was ridiculous-was supposed to run eery 15 minutes-waited almost 1/2 hour, and by the time they got there, there were so many people waiting that there wasn't any room for us! We ended up paying for a cab, which took us to the wrong Marriott, where we had to pay for another cab! Won't use Marriott Crystal City parking again.

    The hotel was a little hard to find, and the check-in process was a bit cumbersome (they basically treated it as if you were checking into a hotel room. I had to park at the front, get checked in, and then get a token to enter the garage) - but otherwise a positive experience.

    Due to a flight delay we arrivded back to DCA airport around 10:30AM. The driver was worried about it being late and the last shuttle leaving at 11:00. It worked out because he did return to pick us up.

    The description was a little confusing about the tokens needed to get into the parking ramp. I called the hotel prior to arrival to confirm the tokens. On the directions it reads as if you need tokens for the shuttle bus. I love the service and will be using again!!

    I have two complaints. 1.) My returning flight arrived at 11:00 PM on Friday, however there was no shuttle to the hotel at that time, so I had to make other arrangements. 2.) While I was parked in the garage for the week, some liquid dripped from a pipe or something in the garage on to my roof. The liquid dried into a hard, unremovable, crystaline pool on the top of my car, back window and bumper. It has ruined the paint on the roof and bumper of my car.

    Going to the airport everything went fine. Coming back, the first shuttle refused me because he said he was not going to the Courtyard Marriott, the second one picked me up much later but he went all over Crystal City before he finally wound up at the Courtyard. He stopped and socialized twice for long minutes when we were near the Courtyard prolonging my stay in the shuttle for at least 15 minutes more, while we were at least two blocks from the final destination, the Courtyard Marriott. The return for the Airport was very unsatisfactory.

    Having to stop first at the hotel and get the coin from the attendend instead of going right into to the parking lot is a problem. It would be easier if you were sent a temporary 4 digit code and you could go right in.

    The parking lot was impossible. You have to go into the building to get a parking code to park, then return to your car to put a notice saying you are parked. The place was a bit awkward to find, and it took FOREVER for the shuttle to arrive. They said that it was coming and when it did, the shuttle driver told us we had to wait for the next shuttle. We called on our way in to ask how to get a shuttle faster, followed all the directions, and they were wrong as it was unsuccessful in getting a shuttle to arrive. A member of our party fortunately got out to speed up the arrival time as I waiting in garage for instructions on how i could get in.

    The rates are very reasonable for garage parking! You beat airport parking by a long shot! My only issue is your lower level parking is poorly lit. Although I wasn't afraid I just thought you may want to know. I will definitely use your service again!

    The instructions would be better if they told you to check in at the hotel lobby before proceeding to the parking garage. I had to pre-pay to get tokens to access the garage and a parking permit to display on my windshield. Otherwise, everything was great.

    We were incredibly disappointed with our experience. We specifically selected the Courtyard Crystal City because they offered shuttles every 15 minutes versus other hotels that offered service only every 30 minutes. We arrived at noon and saw another family waiting for the shuttle. At 12:15, no shuttle had arrived. At 12:30, still no shuttle. We checked with the attendant several times and were informed the shuttle was on its way. At 12:40, the shuttle had still not arrived. The hotel then offered to pay for a cab to get us to the airport. When the airport is less than 5 minutes away, this is completely unacceptable. We will not be parking at the Courtyard Crystal City again.

    I would not select the Crystal City Marriott shuttle service again due to the fact that we arrived at approx. 12:00 p.m. The hotel attendant call for the shuttle at 12:05. We waited 30 minutes and the shuttle never showed up so I had to spend an additional $13 for a taxi. There was another family waiting and they were scheduled to depart on the same flight. They arrived at the airport about 1:15 and they said they also had to catch a taxi because the shuttle never showed up. Then, upon our return from the airport, the shuttle driver was very unpleasant.

    The locked garage and check-in process took way too long. My flight was delayed returning, so I missed the last bus. There were 100 people in line for a taxi, so I walked through the rain and snow to the hotel. Not a good experience. Won't use again.

    The pickup service from DCA to the hotel was a little slow. A shuttle was supposed to run every 15 minutes and it took around 25. It is not a big deal really, but when it is 30 out, an extra ten minutes does not make a person happy. The service was efficient enough though.

    This is the second time I used your parking service. The first time (SEPT) the shuttle was there when I walked out the door. This trip I was waiting at the wrong place and missed one shuttle. I now know to wait at gate 5. I will use this service again in June. I am a very satisfied customer.

    Waited 35 minutes from 2:10pm to 2:45pm for the shuttle at the airport and had to phone the hotel 3 times before the shuttle eventually arrived. The driver was very casual about this as if it is absolutely normal. We were very disappointed especially as other hotel shuttles collected passengers (Some 3 times) during our wait for our shuttle.
