The hotel smells like body odor and dirty socks. The room smelled like old food, and the sheets smelled like harsh detergent with a noxious fake scent added. The bathtub had hair in it. The curtains were broken. One of the room keys didn't work, even after we had them re-image it. We stayed for several days, and over the course of our stay, there was one nice person at the desk; everyone else was sullen and rude. I wanted to switch to a different hotel after our first night, but I was so busy with my work conference I couldn't fit that task in. But I'll definitely never go back here again.

Let me just say, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. First off, the room was filthy. The mattress had stains, the walls had something on them that I didn’t even want to figure out, and honestly, the whole place just felt gross. The shower? Don’t even get me started. The water pressure didn’t work, so you had to keep pushing a button over and over just to get the showerhead to do anything. It was beyond frustrating. The mattress was so hard it felt like sleeping on a rock. To top it all off, the elevators were broken, so we had to haul our stuff up to the third floor. After a long day, that was the last thing we needed. I didn’t even feel comfortable eating breakfast in the morning because, based on how the hotel looked and felt, it didn’t seem safe or clean. The only positive thing I can say is that the front desk staff was nice—but that’s about it. I wouldn’t stay here again, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I wish we had seen the full condition of the room earlier, but it was late, and we were only there for one night. Never again.

Broken elevator

I typically avoid reserving hotels in the D.C. area rated below 8.0, and unfortunately, this stay reinforced that rule. Despite its suburban location, I struggled to find parking when I arrived at 1 a.m. Upon entering the hotel, I learned the elevator was out of service. That meant hauling luggage up four flights of stairs—not ideal, though the stairwells were thankfully short. The room itself was immediately uncomfortable. The air conditioning was off upon arrival, and with outside temperatures at 87°F, the interior felt the same. Even after setting the unit to “High” and “Cool,” there was little change after 20 minutes. Most concerning was an unpleasant odor near the desk area, which made it very difficult to work. It was musty and stale enough to suggest a lack of deep cleaning or maintenance. This experience didn’t meet expectations, especially given the hotel’s proximity to a major metropolitan area. I hope management addresses these issues for future guests.
