Not for me

Elevator door wouldn’t open on 4th floor where my room was. Blankets had multiple stains on them and mattress was soiled. Ended up leaving about 30 minutes after checking in.

Old, outdated property. Staff is nice and location is convenient to NIH. It’s the cheapest in the area but still not worth the price for the condition it’s in.

Worst possible place to stay!

This is more of a shelter for low-income families than a hotel. The front desk person reeked of marijuana and wanted an extra 40 dollars just to hand us the room key. Homeless people were loitering in the lobby and there was urine on the floor. The room smelled terrible. We left immediately.

Hotel is very convenient to NIH, and the staff is great. But, they've let the condition of the property fall below what I'd consider adequate. The bathroom had a few plumbing issues, the room door was difficult to open, and the mattresses are at the end of their lives.
