    I got 3 bed covers that had stains on them. The bathtub needs to be upgraded, and the carpet needs to be changed. The hotel needs to do a better job to keep everywhere clean at all times.

    I love the closeness to Walter Reed.

    When I was there, the elevator was not working and my room was on the 5th floor. The first room I was assigned on the first floor was near an outdoor exit on Woodmont, and it felt a little unsafe and there was also a lot of noise, so I requested to be moved.

    location is perfect for me, walking distance to downtown Bethesda

    Set your expectations - old and run down, but okay to just shower and sleep for a night or two.
    • Business trip

    • Standard Queen Room

    The room advertised having a microwave but did not. Instead, there's one public microwave per floor (at least for the 3rd and 4th floors) that was tiny, dirty, and missing the glass plate inside. The whole facility was grimy and run down. I know it's in an expensive area, but I felt overcharged. The quality is worth $60 - $70/night max, not $150 - $200+

    The location is excellent, easy walking distance to metro, pharmacies, grocery stores, and tons of restaurants. The room has the basics needed for a decent stay and while it's definitely old and run down, it was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. The TV in my room worked fine and the AC unit worked well both to keep the room comfortable and provide white noise. Didn't have any issue with noise from other rooms/outside. There was enough hot water for a shower once the water was run for a few minutes in advance.

    Outdated aircon, bathroom fixtures, telephone system, elevator system. Microwave not on every floor. Hairdryer didn't work. Safe was locked. Breakfast consists of packed bag containing 1 muffin, small juice, water and perhaps an apple.

    Location near bus stop, NIH and Guapos. Guest laundry. Comfortable bed. Iron and TV in room, but I didn't try to use them. Luggage storage after checkout.

    It has been 10 days since check-out and I am concerned that the $50 charged at check-in has not been refunded. I have emailed and asked about the refund date but the hotel has not responded yet. I did not break any equipment in the room. I also cleaned the room as much as possible when I checked out.

    About 3 - 5 minutes on foot to the nearest supermarket.

    Several things in my room were broken, like the shower handle. I did not have any hot water the first night and little water pressure the entire stay. When I went to the staff on duty she was getting on the elevator and kept trying to shut the door as I was talking to her about my concern. There was no follow up on her part. I felt very disrespected and disappointed. Terrible parking,not enough space..

    Location and some of the staff. The maids were very nice.

    The hotel was dirty. It looked like a splatter of blood on the curtain. Couldn’t tell if it was blood plus something dark on the wall in the bathroom, behind the tv and on side of the bed. Something was spilt and not cleaned up properly. The bed skirt had a stain. The sheet had hair on it already plus with everything else made me doubt those were even clean.

    Breakfast is more of a snack. The location of the hotel was decent. The parking however is extremely tight. The staff was nice, nothing bad to say about them.

    The toilet wasn't clean. The whole place was kinda dingy, I never figured out if there was a continental breakfast. There was no make up mirror and no counter space in the bathroom so I basically had to do my make up by muscle memory.. The towels had some stains. There were a lot of stains.

    The hotel was a better price than others in the area. The room was a good temperature. I did not see any bugs, it was not very noisy and seemed safe. The water was hot enough. There was an empty mini fridge and a grocery store on the corner, so I saved money on drinks and snacks. There was a microwave and ice machine at the end of the hall. They let ne check out late. There was an iron and hair dryer.
