"Our room was on the noisy side of the hotel, so I asked for a room on the side by the National Arboretum. Our 2nd room was in the treetops and was quiet and perfect. The employees were nice.2018-06-15"
"This motel was horrific. The sheetrock on the ceiling was peeling and falling down due to a leak. The room had roaches. The bedsheets, walls, and toilet were stained. Don't stay here.2015-07-04"

"Convenient to Medstar. My vehicle was too wide for the hotel parking garage. Not a safe area for walking.2021-12-05"
"The hotel clerk and her assistant were helpful, pleasant, and went out of their way to help us. They provided great restaurant recommendations. Short walk to the King Street Oyster Bar. We got our requested wake-up call and they made sure a cab got us to the MedStar Medical Center by 7 AM. The pool wasn't open, and the valet-only parking was expensive.2021-07-09"
"I was not happy about having to use the valet parking service, and wasn't able to access my vehicle when I wanted to, even just to retrieve something I'd forgotten. I always had to wait for the valet to get my car and bring it to me. Don't stay at this hotel if you want to park yourself.2020-02-02"

"I stayed in a small, reasonably priced suite. The hotel clerk was helpful and responded well to our needs. The option of a hot breakfast in the dining room was nice, and the staff adhered to Covid safety measures. I highly recommend staying here.2020-11-24"
"This is a gem of a hotel. It was clean and creatively decorated, and the staff was professional. The bed was comfortable.2021-08-19"
"Nice hotel, but there were several negatives. No housekeeping because of Covid. No microwave or coffee maker. Our courtyard-facing room had a view of the dumpsters at the apartments next door. Breakfast was a joke; we were given vouchers for coffee, fruit, and a danish at the coffee shop next door, but some items were unavailable both mornings. I ended up spending $15 on breakfast each day. The employees were friendly and accommodating. For the price, I'd stay elsewhere.2021-01-22"

"The hotel was OK, but the bathtub was clogged, so I was standing in water when I showered.2019-01-09"
"We liked that the staff kept our luggage for 2 hours after checkout, which gave us time to see more of the city. Best breakfast of any hotel we've stayed in, too.2023-08-26"
"Valet parking cost $52 per night, and I wasn't told that parking on the street was also valet. Don't stay at this hotel.2022-12-29"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
