  • Good location.
  • A little worn around the edges.

“Almost the first thing I noticed was that the coffee pot had not been cleaned or even emptied, and had a mold growing in the bottom of it. After that inauspicious start, I actually had a pretty good stay. Lady at the front desk was particularly pleasant and cheerful. I liked the kitchenette a lot, although I would have liked it even more if it included a toaster.”

  • Nice, clean, safe, free parking.
  • No amenities.

“The hotel was in a good part of town. Free parking was nice. Room was small. I realize it was an extended stay, but there were no frills. No cont. breakfast, staff was friendly but didn't go the extra mile. About a 15 minute drive from Arlington. Got on the train from there and went around the rest of D.C. Worked out nice.”

  • The location was ideal for what I needed. Also, the area seemed safe.
  • The rooms were dirty, spider in the bed under sheets, patches of dirt on carpet.

“Good thing I was still awake enough to read before I signed. The room was spacious but dirty. Linens were clean but there was still a spider in the bed as soon as I turned the sheets back. The bathtub drained very slowly so you're basically standing in your own filth until you get out. The floor was only cleaned in spots and there were very obvious patches of carpet that looked like it hadn't seen a vacuum since the hotel opened.”

  • The location.
  • Everything.

“It started out horrible my room was never cleaned from the last guests. I cant believe they didnt even bother to check it out just gave me the keys. Then I had to wait, the room they gave me was crappy, right next to the outside gathering area so I couldnt get any sleep at night with people partying. I had to wait 25 minutes outside to check out. No one ever addressed the fact that the first room they put me in was in deed dirty.”

  • Easy/close access to the Metrorail Station.
  • Smell of room, smelled like onions.

“This was my first trip to the DC area. I had a pleasant experience with this hotel and would recommend this hotel to others. It was comfortable, clean, and was easy to find. If I return to this area, I will probably stay at this hotel again.”

  • The location was excellent, and it was surprisingly quiet.
  • Not enough parking spaces.

“Even though this was more like a motel, the noise level was such that I over-slept in the morning because I couldn't hear any activity outside. The room decor was of good quality and tasteful. Everything was extremely clean. The staff was on top of everything. There is a Starbucks convenience store, and gas stations within walking distance, and the freeway is right around the corner. The kitchen was fully equipped with cookware, dinnerware, and small appliances. Just bring your clothes and what you will cook for breakfast, and you are good-to-go. Parking is tight, so you will want to get there early (if you can) to get a spot near your room.”

“The hotel is located near the beltway (495) and the Dunn Loring metro stop. The staff is knowledgeable of the area and provided excellent directions. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchenette. The grounds were well maintained and the area around the hotel appeared safe.”

  • Hotel location and parking directly in front of the room.
  • Bugs in the bed and on the floor. Odor in the room that did not go away.

“One of the worst hotel experiences I've had in 25 years. It was as bad as the dingiest hotels I have ever stayed at. I would never stay here again even if you paid me to stay here.”

  • Room was clean and bright.

“Good value for the money. Staff was helpful, except they could not determine a breakdown of room cost and room tax, which I needed for my accounting purposes. This is not a fault of the hotel; it is the unfortunate nature of pre-paying for a room through a third-party.”
