I have been staying at this hotel weekly for over 5 years. The rooms are always very clean, the service is very good and staff is very friendly. Location is very convenient to the DC area. I have tried other hotels in the area and have always come back to this one as my top choice.

I have no complaint about this hotel. It's more like a motel but cleaner. It's a short distance commute to Ballston, and there's a bus that brings you there. There are a few restaurants that you can walk to, and an on-site restaurant. It's not far from anything, and the room is ok. Of course, you cannot compare this to... More

Thank you for staying with us and especially for taking the time to write such a detailed review! One of my worries remains guests selecting us because of the value but feeling disapointed not realizing how expensive the DC area is - especially first time travelers, I have found 4 star properties for less in smaller cities when traveling.

It's good for just that: Just one night. Room condition is plain and mediocre. Air is definitely not fresh, even a slight odor can be detected. It's over charged: The next 2 nights we were in DC, only less than 20 minute drive, paying roughly 15% more, for a 200% increase in overall value. Absolutely not recommended!

While we are full service with the restaurant, breakfast, wifi, facilities etc. we position our selves as a 2 star location to reflect that we are an... More

After a long flight I arrived extra grumpy and was not happy to find the air conditioning wasn't working in our room. I was prepared to leave but the new owner went above and beyond to find us the right room and make sure we were happy. We were glad we stayed. The room was clean, the bed was soft,... More

I say finally because I felt their should be a hotel in DC for under a 100.00, but expected another run down motel. VERY CLEAN, GREAT SERVICE and most oddly the... More
