We had a great stay at the hotel. Things were clean and comfortable. The breakfast has good coffee and food options. Our taxi driver did warn us that it wasn't in the best area and to not leave the hotel at night. But we never felt unsafe coming and going.

We started by being impressed with Wanda during check in. Our room was comfortable and clean. Any interaction with the staff was impressive. All of them were courteous, helpful and polite. This was by far our best hotel experience in years. Very impressed with this property and the staff here.

DC with Teens

Room was a good size but is older and furniture is dated-it’s what I expected for the price and with the exception of a dirty armchair in room 303, everything felt clean and comfortable. The free breakfast is basic and the male attendant was friendly and made everyone feel welcome. The breakfast on Sunday morning started to wrap up about a half hour early so make sure you get down there early if you want food. This hotel is a good base for DC at a reasonable rate.

The breakfast supervisor Thomas is very friendly and good. The front desk receptionists are not friendly and informative and tried to charge me for 7 nights stay which I already paid through Expedia. My credit card bank blocked it and sent me the fraudulent charges. I am not happy with the way Expedia working with them financially. If my bank had done locked, I would have been double charged

This location is very far from anything in D.C. It also has no shuttle or access to the excellent DC Metro. Their website makes claims of shuttles which are not available once you check in. We said to the attendent we were thinking of going to another hotel, she took the cards -- said no refund and started tearing up the cardboard slips. We had to find another establishment. That customer service flop took less than 30 seconds. We tried to contact the hotel for refund, but they never respond.
