Marriott Bethesda Downtown hotel gets a Trump bump in room rates for inauguration
Once-conservative Marriott International may have transformed into one of the most progressive and liberal corporations in recent decades, but it's still prepared to get an economic boost from the return of Donald Trump to the White House. Room rates at the new Marriott Bethesda Downtown hotel at 7707 Woodmont Avenue have risen for the days surrounding Monday's inauguration ceremony. As you can see, rates for tonight through Saturday night are elevated, rising to $489 per night on the peak nights of Sunday and Monday.
Marriott has tangled with Trump in recent years, vowing to cut off donations to Republican U.S. Senators who did not vote to certify the 2020 Presidential election, about seven months after Trump ordered Marriott to cease operations in Communist Cuba. But that didn't stop Trump from choosing to stay at a Marriott in beautiful downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the days right before the 2024 election.

In the blueist state in the nation...
Can't wait to see the TDS afflicted
I wonder if this inauguration crowd will be even smaller than his first. Not sure if that's possible, but we'll see.
More sucking up to the orange clown (keeping it PG!)
trump 2025 baby! :)
This is about the Marriott Bethesda, not a Marriott in Los Angles or San Francisco.
Sure going to be frigid cold!
Are the rates still the same now, with everyone bailing from the event?
