The property is not well maintained. The elevators and hallways seemed dirty. The dresser drawers were dirty and we did not feel comfortable putting our clothes in the drawers. On the plus side, the parking was free and breakfast was decent.

Was an OK stay.

We liked that it was close to the Metro. And plenty of great places to grab a bite. The staff was very nice, easy check in and out. Downside for us was that the room smelled musky, and the AC was not very cool. Needs some updates to decore, furniture. Had one light that would not stay on , flickered off and on. Was an ok stay, but might not choose to stay there again with other Hotel options with higher reviews near by.

Love that this hotel provides shuttle to the nearby Metro station! Although in the afternoon the shuttle was not quite reliable as in the morning, we was still able to walk back to the hotel in around 10 minutes from the Metro station.
