"We weren't told at check-in that we'd have to request housekeeping. Our room was a long walk down a dark hallway, then a convoluted walk around more hallways and an elevator ride. The lobby and lounge area were comfortable, and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful.2021-06-19"
"Great location by the waterfront, adjoining the Rock Creek Park greenway. Just 2 blocks from the historic Canal Path. The continental breakfast was generous and protein-rich. Hotel parking was pricey and tight.2015-04-08"

"The hotel was in a great neighborhood. The room was fine, but the hallways and elevator could've been cleaner. We didn't realize we needed to reserve parking at the same time as making the room reservation, so we ended up having to use a parking lot about a block away.2022-08-17"

"Great customer service at this hotel, but I had some issues. The toilet leaked water on the bathroom floor, and the shower had poor water pressure. I had recurring and irritating trouble with the key card, and the elevator couldn't be used without it. 2017-06-21"
"Walk to the Metro. The hotel room was clean and comfortable, and I appreciated having a kitchenette with a dishwasher and full fridge. The bed was comfortable and clean, and the sofa bed came in handy. I enjoyed the breakfast. I'd stay here again.2019-09-08"

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.
