This was our case, every hotel in DC was booked (except for the $400/night hotels). We kept driving south but no go. Finally I called the 800 choice number from a full comfort inn and booked this sight unseen. I can't say it was a mistake as there was no choice, but I did not like the hotel. No big deal for us, we arrived late, went to eat, and then went to bed got up and left! But it was a bit of a dump for the price. The days before we were in a marriot thanks to priceline for $110/night and here we paid $80/night, all because we wanted to stay an extra day and the marriot was booked.

The breakfast was a sorry excuse for a breakfast. No room to sit and eat you have to take everything back to your room. I had to make 3 trips. There was not much bread and the employees were eating it up. Too bad for the guests.

I didn't look out my window at night so I can't comment on the other reviews.

Worst I have ever been in. Less than what I expected. There were 'women of the night' around. Men loitering everywhere. Not a family motel. Hubby did not feel safe leaving our van in the lot. Our room was towards the back, maybe the other side was slightly better? The other side of the motel had what looked like workers/ laborers staying there. Of all the cars there- only 2 others were from out of town. Room not clean enough (needed better vacuuming) and the tub was stained. The lock on the door was loose. May have been busted in- but surely not secure. The atmosphere was horrible- even my kids hated it. We checked in and out the same night. Truly it must be bad for me to leave and waste my hard earned money. Even if all you are looking for is a cheap place to lay your head- i would not stay here. Though my hubby (who is a big man and works in a jail) said he could stay for 1 night especially since we had already paid. I could not. Motel close to freeway, stores, Amtrack, and Park N Ride.

First 2 nights were OK, third night it rained...the ceiling over our bed leaked alot....when we went to the office to complain that we couldnt stay in that room since the bed was getting soaked they didnt have much sympathy for us and told us that they didn't have another room available....I requested our money back to go to another hotel and they wouldn't refund our money either...after about 1 hour they came up with another much smaller room

I rank this hotel as one of the high end EconoLodges I stay at. Compared to the other hotels in the area this one has the best value for my Dollar. The rooms are spacious and clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Location is convenient. I will be back!
