The toilet flash worked half way, you need to try multiple times. I was there just for a night, I just passed the night somehow, never ever.

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.
