Good location right next to highway but still quiet. Clean with good-sized room. Front desk helpful and welcoming. A good choice for hotel in this price category. Has ton of room for events but didn't see any events while i was there -- could make it noisy though i suppose.

This hotel is in a quiet commercial area of Rockville. Close to the highway, and to the offices around, but a drive if you are going anywhere else.
The hotel is nice, rooms are comfortable and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful.
We had a one bedroom suite which was spacious, comfortable and lovely. While the closet was huge, the bathroom was tiny, as there was barely any room to put all our stuff. The lighting in the room isn't so great either. Felt very dark.
You should note that there are interior and exterior rooms in this hotel. The interior rooms look over the hotel atrium where there is a restaurant below and an open event hall as well as hallways leading into closed event halls. The weekend we spent there, there were non-stop events at the hotel (which is a great sign, I think!). We returned to the hotel with our young children on Saturday night at 11pm and there was a party downstairs with music, people talking loudly, etc. Parties end at midnight. Everything quieted down soon after midnight.
There were 3 things that disappointed:
- on our second day we spent the whole day out and about, returning at 3:30 pm to get ready for a family event that night only to find that our room was not yet tidied up. When we called the front desk their excuse was that they were sold out the night before. Not my problem.
- My kids found a pair of Q-tips on our first morning at the hotel in a corner of the room (not ours!). The Q-tips were still there the next day... and the next.
- $20/night for a roll-away bed!! We thought that was a little extreme

Checked into this hotel on 10/16/2012 and found hotel staff to be exceptional. Kasthelin was extremely helpful and offered great tips on the surrounding area and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay.

Hotel located in quiet suburban location within an estate of upmarket offices. Good transport facilities and once metro reached at Shady Grove a 30 min trip in central Washington. Hotel very clean and professionally run. Outside rooms are better as you do have the benefit of natural daylight, as mentioned by some other reviewers. However, I had to swap my allocated outside room (problem outside hotel control) and was put on an inside room. Though darker and looking into the atrium was still very good. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
