Excellent property! Specifically for night stay. Mostly all Landmarks such as Dunkin, Gas station and highway connectivity are nearby. All visitors attraction merely 20 min far from the Gateway. We occupied one bedroom for night stay as they offer Kingsize bed, TV , Microwave, a coffee machine charged $135.00 that includes $10.00 for one night parking. Plus at the time of check in $100.00 deposit which we received at the time of check out.

Good for the price

This was the cheapest place to stay inside of DC. It isn't a hotel, it's a motel that was once a Days Inn. The walls were super thin and there were definitely some sketchy residue and stains on a chair and the lamp, but everything that needed to be clean was clean. Clean towels, clean bed, clean sink, no trash. Good enough for a night or two. If anyone smoked outside, you could definitely smell it. Ear plugs are a must. The room has its own ac unit and it worked well. Parking was $10 and they had me put down an $100 deposit that was returned at check out. Dunkin and checkers right next door. Didn't see any bugs, checked the beds too. Not bad!
