First off we couldn’t sleep because the train was right outside our window. There was in ink pen in our sheets when we turned the bed down. Or tv didn’t work and the air condition sound like an airplane taking off. When I asked the lady downstairs if someone could look at it she replied with we don’t have time. Worst place I have ever stayed at. She said I would give you some money back but you booked with a third party so that’s the price you pay. I couldn’t believe how rude.

The location is A . We flew in from Dulles and were able to take the silver line metro to a few minutes away from the hotel. You are within a few minute walk to the Air and Space Museum/the mall. We took a Big Bus hop on/hop off tour that had a stop minutes from the hotel. Overall, this location couldn't have been more ideal. While the other reviews are accurate that the bed was on the stiffer side and the carpet seemed a bit dated, I would choose to stay here again based on the location.

Average

It was an average type of stay. We had a few issues that were not resolved at the time of our stay: our TV was not working and the attendant would not come and fix it after I spent 30 minutes standing in line to talk to a person at the front desk. The room was not very clean: there were crushed crayons all over the floor as we walked into the room and the bathroom was not cleaned.

Hotel was very clean. It is an older property but seemed to be well maintained. Our rooms were next to the railroad tracks which was the only downside. To be honest, I never noticed the train at night while trying to sleep, so it was never an issue.

Room was not cleaned when we went to the room. The security latch on the door was defective. I had to repair with a Phillips screwdriver. The lack of in facility dining experience was terrible. The property has great potential with its location. Alas, I would not stay there again. Disappointed in IHG!!!
