Clean room. Very helpful and responsive staff. A challenge to park in the narrow on-site lot and hard to find street parking (but unsual for this area of Bethesda). $20/day for on-site parking was a change from the free parking here during my last stays, but again, not unusual for this area. Short walk to metro, or WRMMC appts, Harris Teeter and bakery/coffee shops. Guapos next to the hotel serves delicious Mexican dinning or carry out options. I will happily continue to patronize American Inn in the future.

First of all this hotel is providing wrong advertisement. We chose this placed because they were saying there was microwave in the rooms but this wasn’t the case. There was a heavy smell in the hallways. The condition based on the price was horrible. I wouldn’t stay here again.

The room was small but being by myself I didn’t mind that so much. Lots of street noise and loud AC in the room. Not the cleanest bathroom I’ve encountered in a hotel. Rust stains (I think, almost looked like blood spattering) in the bath tub. Overall ok, probably would choose a different hotel in the future

Disliked: Amenities
This was not a great stay - but not the worst I've ever had. We checked in and they were still learning a new system...which fine I get, but it took a long time to find my reservation. Once that happened - my double bed room turned into a single bed... so that had to be corrected. We were given two single rooms which is not ideal for a family, but workable. In one room the air conditioning would not adjust or turn off, so it was an ice box. The pool was not open and by the looks of it- was gross! The grab and go breakfast, that was listed on the reservation, was not provided as promised. The elevators were also incredibly slow that it became faster to climb up and down the stairs to the 5th floor. Thank goodness we are in shape. I would not recommend this hotel to any family.
