Bethesda Court Hotel is a small, clean, customer service focused hotel. They offer free WiFi, bottled water, chocolates on check-in, and a local shuttle service. It is well situated, the DC Metro and a thriving restaurant district are within walking distance. I attended a conference held 3 blocks down the street at a megahotel but chose to stay here--I paid a lot less for my room and felt well cared for by the staff. Would definitely stay here again if I came to Bethesda/D.C. area.

The hotel was perfectly located and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff exceptionable - friendly, helpful and courteous. The neighbor restaurants were first rate. The nearby Metro station was convenient getting to the DC locations.

My husband and I stayed here on a weekend trip to DC by using a Groupon. Don't let the outside fool you, it's much nicer on the inside. Our bed was very comfortable and our room was clean. It was nothing special but we were completely satisfied and we're not high-maintenance. The breakfast isn't anything special either (cereal, hard boiled eggs, bagels, fruit, yogurt, etc.) but it did the job! On our last day, we wanted to explore DC some more and the hotel staff allowed us to keep our car parked at the hotel even after we had checked out. That was a huge help! The hotel is in a great location near a metro station that is only about 5 stops from the mall and museums. The hotel isn't in DC but it's probably as close as you can get without having to pay the price. Would we return? Absolutely.

Bethesda Court is an old fashioned (50 years old) 3 story hotel with 75 rooms right in the middle of Bethesda about an easy 2/10 mile walk south to the Metro stop. There is alot to like about this place--we had a Groupon coupon to stay two nights, Friday and Saturday which nornally would be about $200 a night plus $15 a night for parking. The Groupon was $189, and included free parking, chocolates and free bottled water. A good deal for the DC area.

After reading the Trip Advisor reviews we requested and got a room overlooking the beautiful garden courtyard, away from noisy Wisconsin Ave. The hotel let us check in 2 hours early at 1 PM. There is a small evelator for the 3 floors. Our room had a large comfortable king size bed, flat screen TV, microwave, fridge and coffee maker, a safe and free wifi. There was a desk and an easy chair.

The lobby area has 2 computers for use, two sitting areas, with 6 comfortable chairs and a sofa. The hotel provides a continental breakfast and the breakfast room is right off the lobby. That was the worst part about our stay--the breakfast room has only 5 small tables and getting to the food items was very difficult at times because of the tight space. Some people were eating their breakfast in the lobby and if the weather was nice you could eat in the courtyard. We found it was easier to take the food in a tray up to our 2nd floor room. The breakfast was adequate--coffee/tea, packaged cold cereals, packaged juice, yogurt, bagels and muffins, fruit and hard boiled eggs. Nothing hot, but what they had was tasty.

The staff was very pleasant and helpful and we especially appreciated the early registration. Overall we enjoyed out stay at the Bethesda Court and the Groupon made the cost somewhat reasonable and fit our budget.
