“Good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

I chose this hotel because the price was OK and it was within walking distance of the Tripperbus station for bus transport to NYC and the Bethesda Metro Station. The room was small, so there was hardly room to manouevre outside of the large comfortable bed. However, the room had everything I needed. There was WiFi that worked well and an empty fridge which I did not use. In the morning, I could pick up a free newspaper at the reception.

Do not expect much of the free breakfast offered. I could get a bowl of cereal and a hardboiled egg, but overall it was a bit disappointing. Still, it saved me a lot of time and I didn't have to go on my 4 hours bus ride hungry.

“Great for the price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012

Stayed here after the Derecho and following several days without power (thanks PEPCO). Room was well appointed and clean, and staff was very helpful. Breakfast was good but nothing special - standard free hotel breakfast. Guapo's is one of our favorite restaurants so the proximity is a plus, although our room was literally directly above the bar so we heard the Mexican music through the floor. I would recommend asking for a room not above the bar if possible, but even so the room was nice.

Room Tip: Make sure your room isn't above the Guapo's Bar.
