Categories

Cleanliness
5.8
Mixed signals: many guests report rooms were clean on the surface, but multiple reviews note strong odors (dried urine, seafood), visible mold, damp carpet and hallways that smell — overall below average cleanliness.
Service
8.8
Generally positive: several guests mention friendly staff, a 24-hour desk and helpful service; housekeeping frequency complaints for long stays but front-desk/service interactions were frequently praised.
Location
8.6
Strongly positive for convenience: repeatedly cited as close to the airport (IAD) and convenient for late-night arrivals, which is a consistent pro in the reviews.
Room Quality
6
Below average: reports of outdated rooms, visible damage, thin/old pillows, odors in some rooms, mold in showers and damp carpet affected perceived room quality.
Amenities
6.5
Limited amenities: several comments note few or no true amenities (elevator out, minimal grab-and-go breakfast, basic extended-stay setup); adequate for a budget overnight but not beyond that.
Value for Money
8.4
Generally positive: many reviewers emphasize good value and that the hotel is inexpensive and acceptable for the price; some caveats (surprise $100 deposit, 'pay for what you get') but overall value is seen as a strength.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Negative: consistent complaints about the complimentary 'breakfast' being poor — individually wrapped Hostess/twinkie-style items and coffee — described as misleading and disappointing.
Overall Experience
8
Mixed but leaning acceptable: guests often call it fine for a short/cheap stay (convenient and quiet), with some strong negatives; overall many guests felt the stay was satisfactory given the price.

Pros:

Service was really nice. Small but only thing is that the “complimentary” breakfast was very misleading as it was legitimately just twinkies and coffee. Super disappointing. Other then that the stay was very nice and everything was very clean

Pros:

While clean on the surface, there are underlying issues as it's an older hotel that looks and smells its age. First room had a powerful odor of dried urine, and the second room had extensive visible mold in the shower cracks. The 'grab and go' breakfast was nothing but individual packages of Hostess cupcakes.

Pros:

If you're expecting the Hilton, this is not the place for you. That said, for the price, it was okay. The room was clean, and it was quiet. Everything is a little outdated, so it wasn't as pretty as some places I've stayed, but definitely not as bad as others.

The one thing I didn't like was that they charged a $100 deposit, even after the room was paid for. There was nothing about that in the listing.

Pros:

The 4 pillows on the bed were super old, had no puff in them, made my neck hurt. There were no rolling down blinds in the room only curtains but I couldn't open them cause walking by ppl would see inside the room, overall it was an alright stay.

Pros:

Friendly staff but housekeeping only once a week even if you stay for a long period of time. No water pressure. Hallways stink and not vacuumed but room was good and clean. Get what you pay for sometimes.
