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 .

StolenBeats Headphones

When we checked-out, we inadvertently left a black zipper case containing my wife's Beats Headphones. We immediately called the hotel, and they asked housekeeping if the headphones turned up. They said no. That is impossible. We know exactly where the headphones were. My wife thought I picked them up. I thought she picked them up. Unfortunately, neither us picked them up. They were sitting on the desk. Clearly, the housekeeping staff took the headphones, kept them and lied about it. Those headphones were a gift from our daughter a month before. We are flabbergasted by the outrageous lies and deceit of the staff. We really would like the headphones back or to be reimbursed for the theft. The attached picture shows what the case looks like. I have the same headphones, and the picture is of my case.

A mix

Better-than-expected breakfast (make-your-own waffles, eggs, sausage); noiser-than-expected air conditioner and bathroom fan. Not bad overall. 10-15 minute walk from the Ballston Metro station, but there's also parking.
