Overall the stay was nice, & the staff were friendly. The hotel rooms definitely need to be updated/fixed. Despite there being housekeepers around, crushed Apple Jacks remained on the hallway floor on our way to our room, & clothing/garbage were in random spots in the same hallway as well.

Property is walking distance to the Washington Metro and many restaurants. The place is neat and clean and parking off street is good. The location is good. the place looks like it was built in the 1980s and is beginning to look dated. The room was fine but the A/C was not the best and the sink in the very small bathroom was very slow. The price was right for the area and I would stay there again for sure.

The hotel was ok. Average in every way. The issue is that my wife left $300 worth of make up in a nice bag and she knows for a fact she left it there. They’re saying they don’t have it. In other words it was stolen. Nothing a hotel can do makes up for stealing from you. We’re cool people and I never leave bad reviews but theft with apathy thrown on top? One star. GFYS

Very convenient for a trip to D.C./National Mall! Shuttle to and from Ballston MU in the morning and evening is great. Good breakfast and coffee!! The beds could be softer but overall nice rooms. I’d stay there if I visit DC and encourage others to stay there too. Front desk was mostly pleasant.

Front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Parking is convenient and sheltered. Location is safe and within walking distance to amenities and even a wetland. Shuttle service is provided to nearby metro. Love the breakfast especially the self-made waffle. Certain facility needs improvement: our main door does not close properly and bathroom shower tap needs effort to turn on. Overall we are satisfied with our stay and would recommend booking this hotel.
