    The Courtyard by Marriott, which opened in March, 2006, is just one block from the Navy Yard Metro station at New Jersey & M. (02/06)



    Looking east on L Street across New Jersey, six months before construction began. The white wall is the west side of the Star Market. (09/03)


    The same location, three years later. This is the Courtyard by Marriott side of the tower. (08/06)



    The lobby. (03/06)


    The bar, located at the New Jersey and L corner. (It was early in the day, it's usually more crowded!) (03/06)



    One of the Courtyard by Marriott's rooms. (03/06)


    Another of the hotel's rooms. (03/06)


     

    Three views of the intersection of New Jersey Avenue and L Street; first, in September 2000 (top left); three years later, in August 2003 (the buildings were demolished sometime around 2001)(top right); and in August 2006 (bottom right). This is the southwest corner of the Tower's lot, one block away from the Navy Yard Metro station. The hotel tower's entrance will be here. (And isn't it great that they didn't cut down that wonderful old tree?) Click to see all available photos of this location.
