The only thing I can say about this hotel, The king bed I had was acceptable. Comfortable sleeping. However, The walls, bathroom, floors are dirty, the drapes are filthy. The whole place needs to be remodeled. BUT if you book through a 3rd party and your finances are limited, then it's passable. I paid 97 plus 10 to park per day. I you book through the hotel it's 125 plus 10 to park. You can't touch a hotel room close to the city for this price. Hold your nose and don't spend any time here. Just sleep and go visiting or whatever. There is Dunkin Doughnuts on site that sell sandwiches which are pretty good plus they also sell gas and snacks and ice. I did not see any bugs but the bathroom has severe caulking everywhere. The staff is so so, however the chair in my room was dilapidated and they did change it out with the one next door. Good Luck.

Lovely staff. The property is in need of spackling and fresh paint. Sidewalk repairs are also needed. Lock repairs are needed.The music in the lobby was beautiful. I was in a non smoking room, but clearly smelled smoke from an adjacent room. Thin walls.

It is a Motel and not a Hotel. The furnitures are older and broken than the ones shown in image. I stayed for 2 day but was always had a feeling towards family safety and security. In the same budget you can have better options. Location wise it is good. Rest is ones choice!!

What a fiasco!

I knew that I was getting a budget hotel, but wasn't prepared for what I fiasco it was. When we checked in the room keys didn't work. After the third attempt of getting new keys, we had to wait for the maintenance man to come open the door, which he couldn't. All this time we spent waiting made us late for our evening plans. Eventually they gave us another room, for which the keys didn't work either. The maintenance man let us in the room and went to get new key cars. In the mean time the front desk gave our new room to other guests, who ironically had working keys who just walked in to our room while we were half naked and proceeded to get enraged with us because we were in "their" room. The icing on the cake was the cockroach in the bath tub. From the turmoil in the reception area, we were not the only guests who were having problems. Stay somewhere else if you can.

Walked in and the whole place reaked of smoke and was blasting music. No way I could spend the night there, so I left right away and booked at a different hotel.

The quality of the room was great for the price. Close to several dining options, stores and the Metro. My biggest concern was for bed bugs. A couple of the reviews that I read complained about finding bed bugs. I did a deep search of the mattresses, head boards and area around the beds and found no sign of bed bugs or their droppings. Several reviews complained of no hot water in the showers. The shower handle just needs to be turned farther than half way between hot and cold for a hot shower. My ONLY complaint about the room that I stayed in was that there was no way to stop up the tub drain for a bath, which I sorely needed after all the walking that I did around the National Mall and museums. That was remedied by purchasing a cheap tub stopper at the Target store nearby. This was a great room for $93 a night within walking distance of several dining options, stores and the Metro. If you're planning on staying in DC economically, the Gateway hotel is an excellent choice!
