"Great location, but this hotel is showing its age. Not quite up to Ritz-Carlton standards. Needed fresh decor and maintenance. The elevators were slow and problematic.2015-04-19"

"Room needed better soundproofing; I could hear every word the people in the next room said. Bed was wonderful. Nice bathroom. I was happy to bring my dog, but the fee was high. Night room service staff failed to honor my request.2015-01-26"
"Good location. I had a great stay at this hotel.2020-09-30"
"Excellent location near a variety of restaurants, and just a block from the Metro. Good value. The hotel room was clean and had a comfortable work desk and chair. The beds were firm and comfortable. Polite, helpful personnel. We were even able to leave our car parked in the lot after checkout. Go for it.2017-12-22"

"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 parking garage was dark and dingy, and the door lock to the elevator didn't work. Good rates, but pay more for a better hotel.2016-07-26"

"The hotel was quite expensive. There was a lot of traffic in the area, but also much within walking distance. The room was clean and comfortable, and all the employees were friendly and helpful. The food at the cafe was delicious, and the valet service was pricey but excellent.2018-06-12"
"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"

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.
