    No one on reception. Noisy. Felt unsafe. Notice on door said to keep door bolted. Not a hood sign. Think it is used for homeless people along with its neighbour hotel "Number 6"

    Comfortable bed. Good shower. Clean

    The rooms and facilities need upgrading. The air quality in the room was bad. It has No restaurant or vending machine that was visible to guests. The carpets and walls are in urgent need of repairs.

    The lication was good.

    No pool available… they don’t tell you that when booking. Super rude lady at the front desk. Minimal lighting in the room. Only good thing about this place is the location… I stay in hotels all around the world as a flight attendant and this hotel has to be one of the worst..

    The location & the fridge in the room (should put milk in the rooms for coffee)

    Outdated rooms, terrible sheets, dirty, some lights didn’t have bulbs, ceiling drywall falling off, holes in bathroom drywall.

    It was close enough to dc and pretty cheap. Also had a microwave and fridge in room

    The bathroom ceiling was peeling, the toilet ran off and on constantly, and the mirror needed to be rehung. The base cabinet and other "patch" work looked to be pretty unprofessional BUT it was extremely clean and in full working order. The old Bentley's Restaurant has been replaced with an Indian Cuisine restaurant of some other name - we did not dine there - we choose JV's for dinner and IHOP across the street for breakfast.

    This is an older hotel. The rooms were well equipped with what we needed: microwave, fridge, coffee maker etc....the location was perfect for the other activities we enjoyed, like JV's restaurant where we enjoyed live music.

    The decor was dated. The TV didn't work even after someone supposedly came to fix it. There was nobody in the lobby at night. The beds were uncomfortable.

    Convenient location and free parking.

    Booked only because vacationing with family and hotel website pics showed a pool, yet upon visit, pool had been non functioning for years obviously. Staff never offered clean room or asked if we needed anything entire stay, five days. Lobby was permanently closed due to understaffing, therefore all transactions, inquiries, check-in, etc. was done at Motel 6 next door. Although room appeared be non-smoking as requested, bedding had obvious cigarette burn holes. Continental breakfast was merely coffee, at Hotel 6 next door. Room carpet was not to be walked upon barefoot, as it soiled, and bathroom fixtures, toilet, seat, etc. were stained and wall paper peeling. TV remote was taped together and rarely worked, and there only maybe two working electrical receptacles, in bathroom and behind TV / Fridge. Two star expectations with only half / one star amenities, service and comfort.

    Proximity to public transportation was good and room air conditioning worked inpecibably. Water pressure was above average.
