During my recent stay at the hotel, I encountered several concerning issues that marred my experience. To begin with, my room was not cleaned throughout my stay, which was quite disappointing. I had expected a certain standard of cleanliness, but instead, I was greeted by an unkempt room each time I returned. Additionally, I noticed that some staff members were eating breakfast intended for guests. This behavior completely undermined the hospitality one would expect in a hotel. In addition, they used a fork and not the utensil for the food. Moreover, I was taken aback when I encountered maintenance workers in the elevator who were covered in white paint, which gave the impression that the hotel management was unprepared and disorganized. When I approached Michelle, the front desk attendant, to express my concerns about the cleanliness of my room, I found her demeanor extremely rude. Instead of addressing the issue directly, she spoke from the back office, raising her voice rather than coming to engage with me in person. This lack of courtesy only added to my frustration. Overall, my experience at this hotel was the worst I have ever had, and I believe both the management and the staff need significant changes to meet the basic expectations of their guests.

The room was nice and big but many things were in poor condition. The lamp base had rust on it, when I tried to open the fridge it came out of its nook. I asked housekeeping to clean my room when I left to go out and they didn't. It took 4 tries and one room change to get keys that actually opened the door. Also they were in the process of renovating.

Business center is "under construction" so is fitness center, so is font of the hotel, which is missing the sign with its name on the front. An extra $20 charge for an almost empty open self-parking lot in front of the hotel seems excessive. Room and beds were clean but very basic, no frills, some of the furniture was scratched. Overall impression is that of of a sub-$100/night hotel. Nothing horrible, but not the value deal that it appeared to be online.

Sean in the breakfast area was fantastic! It’s a shame not all staff were as friendly and accommodating. The main reception were more interested in their personal phones than the customers at the desk/ The area is rough, only a checkers and McDonald’s to eat at. The bus service is accessible but hugely inconvenient as then you have to catch the metro too. Washington itself is a good 30min drive away from this location. Don’t go outside at night in your own, it’s a scary part of town. I would recommend this hotel for a family

Overall the hotel was decent. Really the only negative thing I would say is that we got there at 245pm and we couldn’t check in early. It wasn’t mentioned that the room was still being cleaned, I was just told they don’t accept early check in, and at 4pm I could check in. This was after a long flight and keeping busy until check in time. We ended up sleeping in the car until 345pm & the next person at the counter let us check in. I’m not a breakfast person so eggs and turkey sausage were fine with cereal, toast, muffins to pick from. I’m just happy for coffee. Overall still a good place to stay.
