WASHINGTON — The owner of Tastee Diner says reports that he has reached a deal to sell the Bethesda location to Marriott International Inc. are untrue, although he says he is still willing to sell for the right price.

Bethesda blogger Robert Dyer reported Monday that Marriott would acquire Tastee Diner and its corner lot for $7 million, citing an unnamed source.

Marriott is building its new corporate headquarters in downtown Bethesda in the Tastee Diner block.

“I did meet with Marriott on Friday, and the guy told me, ‘We don’t really need your spot, but we’d like to have that corner because it’s just a nice corner,” owner Gene Wilkes told WTOP. “After about 10 or 15 minutes and not getting any numbers on the table, I said, ‘Guys I’ve got a busy day. If you’re really serious come up with a reasonable price and give me a call,'” Wilkes said.
