This is a conversion from a larger chain hotel to a privately owned hotel. It was 102 degrees outside and there were no ice machines. Maintenance was lacking but not a huge issue. They charged $10 per night for parking but they had an abundance of it. Room was clean and staff was minimal. Nightly cost was comparatively low.

We left early. Extremely loud. We could actually see into the connecting room through the bottom of the door. Smelled like smoke. Questionble area.

Fair good for the price. Not fancy but we have to transfer rooms 2x due broken shower and the other room emits sewage smell. Finally got a decent room and stayed for the rest of the days. Service is quick and commendable. Nice location with Dunkin Donuts on the side and Checker Burger place. Best thing is, the hotel is pretty much close to the National Mall and close to the National Shrine of Immaculate Conception.

Staff was friendly. Rooms were clean but not in great condition. Headboard was cracked, walls were scuffed and cracked. Bathroom was clean. We did have a stained towel we exchanged. You get what you pay for and

Walked in and the whole place reaked of smoke and was blasting music. No way I could spend the night there, so I left right away and booked at a different hotel.

It is a Motel and not a Hotel. The furnitures are older and broken than the ones shown in image. I stayed for 2 day but was always had a feeling towards family safety and security. In the same budget you can have better options. Location wise it is good. Rest is ones choice!!

Nice and friendly staff. The price is pretty good for the property.
At the same time I was surprised to pay additional price for parking while it was advertised that the parking is available.

They say it’s a hotel but this is a motel and the keys said days Inn on them. The room was disgusting. It was dirty and smelled bad. I found dead bugs near the bed. Holes in the wall. All kinds of stuff. They misrepresented who they were and have pictures that are different than the rooms. I didn’t even stay. I left 5 minutes after I walked in and NEVER GOT MY MONEY BACK AT ALL. Hilton would never. these people had nerves to have a one hundred dollar security hold fee just like Hilton and look at the difference. Are you kidding me? Never again. Gross.

Lovely staff. The property is in need of spackling and fresh paint. Sidewalk repairs are also needed. Lock repairs are needed.The music in the lobby was beautiful. I was in a non smoking room, but clearly smelled smoke from an adjacent room. Thin walls.
