As a family member of a patient at NIH, we have stayed here at the American Inn for the last 10 years! It is clean, and predictable. The help at the front desk are kind, and very friendly. The breakfast is standard with good coffee. Yes, the hotel room is small, but it is sufficient. It is within walking distance... more

I spent a week at the American Inn of Bethesda a month ago, while attending a conference about 5 miles away at the Strathmore Arts Center in Rockville. It is really just a large motel, and maybe my expectations are lower than they should be, but the place served me just fine and I would stay there again. Prices are... more

If you are going to Bethesda Md. book early or expect to pay. The bargain prices of the American Inn lured me in but boy was i disappointed with what $175 a night gets you. The room sported the world's smallest tv with the worst cable connection. This was enjoyed on a spongy bed with two thin pillows. No extras... more

This well-located Bethesda hotel is owned and operated by representatives of at least four countries--none of them the US. These folks are well meaning but unprofessional and unable to communicate either among themselves or with their clientele. The shuttle bus driver who picked us up at the metro stop, parked his van in a corner and sat until we found... more

I think a 2+ star rating fits this property. The hotel is a good value for the neighborhood. Given the options of the $200+ per night hotels in the area, at $105 per night, this was a good deal. The rooms are small, but very clean. The mattress in my room was old and soft, but not impossible to sleep... more

While this hotel is not on the luxury list, I found it better than I had expected considering the price. First, the location is great. A few safe blocks from the Metro with dozens of restaurants, shops, and convenience stores in the vicinity. The room was entirely satisfactory for the price: clean, comfortable double (not king or queen) bed, in-room... more

A little ragged around the edges, but clean. Had a single and the room was quite small. Reminded me much of the size of a Motel 6 room. Just enough room to walk around the bed, a small desk, and small bath. But, if all you need is someplace to sleep, who needs any living space. You can either heat... more

Spent several nights here when daughter was at NIH. The room was small but adequate, the continental breakfast good, and coffee & cookies 3-6 for "tea". NIH shuttle stops here, and several guests were regulars. The Metro is 5 blocks, and an ok walk except later at night I wouldn't want to do it alone. Several good eateries within 4... more
