Constance, Bethesda

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice but oddly designed with a fairly small tv hung on the wall to the right side on the wall from where the bed was situated versus head on like it should be, so it was very difficult to watch at night comfortably. My bed was comfortable, so no complaints there and I could make the room dark with the shades and drapes. But I found it to be very noisy this time as far as the doors to other peoples rooms slamming all the time, very rude people to not close their door gently like I would do. So it was very disruptive late at night and sometimes actually woke me up even at 2 AM. That was very annoying and frustrating.The hairdryer in the bathroom was old and had a sticky feel to it, which was disappointing. I tried to get a drink at the bar one night and it was almost impossible. It was busy, but there were not enough people working and they’re too slow, as I was watching them, this was very disappointing, so I left and never got a drink. I have no patience for that. I may stay again, but the noise that I heard in the hallways was definitely a disappointment, so I probably will not.

The Brown Hotel is very, very, very, very, extremely tired. They are obviously not trying at this point. Everything in the room sagged. Water took forever to just get lukewarm. The heat blew cold air each night on very cold nights. The food is overpriced and seriously sub par. Maybe the suites are nice, but the regular rooms are garbage. Will not be making the mistake of staying here again.
Everything looks as worn out as this beat down chair.
