"Convenient to the Gaylord conference center. The hotel was clean, and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The ramps to the garage level were narrow, so be careful if you drive a larger vehicle.2019-09-29"
"We requested a ground floor room but got a 2nd floor room that was was a long walk from the office. Our room was smoke-free, but it reeked of cigarettes and marijuana. No elevator. The hotel didn't have an airport shuttle. Don't stay here.2022-05-21"
"The hotel clerk didn't inform me about the location of the ice and vending machines.2019-06-30"
"The room was pleasant, and the hotel clerk was so very nice. The stairs didn't have a railing, though; it was difficult to get to the room, and I had to have someone help me with my bag.2019-05-31"
"Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel. Just a few miles from Arlington National Cemetery and the Vietnam Memorial, but allow at least 30 minutes travel time due to traffic. The room was clean, and the staff was extremely pleasant and readily assisted when I had a request. The free shuttle within a 1-mile radius was a plus, and the driver recommended a fantastic restaurant. The parking garage was also a plus. The only negative is that we had to pay for water and coffee.2018-04-07"

"The room was dirty and right across from the noisy vending and ice machines. There were bugs in the bathroom, and the ceiling had signs of water damage. No breakfast option.

"The employees were pleasant, but the breakfast attendants were overworked on the weekend and the eating area was unsanitary. There were eggs on the floor and I felt like we were eating out of a trough. Didn't like that parking was valet only. I don't recommend this hotel.2018-04-03"

"Nice location. The hotel was basic and clean, and the staff was helpful.2019-10-09"
"Great location near DCA. Our room had a bad odor, so the hotel clerk apologized and gave us another room. There was hair in the bed in that room, so we were given a 3rd room, and it was satisfactory. We got a free breakfast for our trouble, and it was great. All the employees were cordial and helpful. I wasn't aware of the $10 extra person charge; when I complained, the hotel graciously charged only the basic rate. I'd stay here again.2015-12-02"

"Great location; we were surrounded by restaurants and even a Starbucks. Easy access to the metro system. The accommodations were just right for our family of 6. Breakfast ended at 9 AM, but that was the only drawback. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel.2017-01-08"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
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.
