Cons:

The system was down when we arrived. Check in had a line all the way down to the bar. It took over an hour to check in and then had to wait for the manager to manually find our room, which was exhausting after driving many hours and arriving at almost midnight. There was no Wi-Fi in the room either. I expected a discounted stay, or at the least some complimentary service, but the issues were not even addressed.

Terrible and unsafe
Pros:

Very close to the Theater that I was going to visit

Cons:

This hotel rooms are old. My room smelled musty and moldy. The ice machine on my floor-12 was broken and the housekeeper said it has been broken for a long while and was told to tell guest to go down to floor 5 for ice. That sucks

This hotel books to guest that are regulars like homeless people or need to stay for a week or so.

It reminds me of a rooming hotel. I didn’t feel safe at this hotel, too much riffraff going on.

Although guests are supposed to use their room card to get on elevator, I noticed that derelicts hanging around the hotel waiting to for real guests to use their room card for the elevator so they can get on and ride to whatever floor they’re going on. I would never stay here again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Nick, Sr.
Pros:

I cannot say enough, good things about Nick, Sr. He was helpful with my check-in – he was helpful getting materials ready for my board meeting when I was in a pinch – and he helped find a box that had been shipped here and misplaced. You guys are lucky to have him.

Very short visit but really felt good about my visit.
Pros:

Love the streaming options of calm provided on TV. The options provided kept me relaxed and calm. Love the location and front desk very helpful in holding luggage for departure.

Cons:

Once I was in the shower, no hair conditioner in shower bottle. Had to get out of shower call hurst service but no answer. One hour later I received text message and shortly after received hair conditioner. This process was stressful.

Excellent Desk Service.
Pros:

The hotel's location was great, and the condition of the hotel and its room was very good. The amenities left something to be desired and the lack of daily housekeeping. But the desk clerk, Feven Assessie, was outstanding. She was friendly, welcoming, and efficient. I was travelling to see friends and attend my high school reunion, and she was funny and informative as I hadn't been in Bethesda for over 40 years. Well done young lady!
