The rooms were clean and comfortable. The shuttle service to the Balston Metro and free parking for cars is the reason we booked this hotel. When we mentioned the ac in our room was not working properly they immediately upgraded and moved us to a better room. Their service was really prompt .

Very clean; but dated. Shower problem not fixed.

The room was extremely clean for an older room. After the first morning, our shower in Room 231 would not shut off. We had to go somewhere, so we told the front desk. When we came back at night, the water was shut off. We did not know until the next morning that all the water to the shower/tub had been shut off!! We were never told when we returned. We were unable to take showers before we had to travel home.
