The location is great but the hotel needs a refresh and not just in the lobby. The rooms were adequate but very tired. Bed was nice enough, shower tub looked a little worn… not HGI’s best effort TBH. I wouldn’t stay there again although go by the staff was perfectly nice and attentive. They can’t help it if the property is worn out!

Nice stay in Bethesda

Late check in , had some reservation problems on our end, but Erica at the front desk was extremely helpful and all went well. Only issue we had was the air conditioner BANGED when it came on an off, making sleep harder than it should be. Erica texted me on our 2nd day and addressed the issue ASAP. Hotel has the hottest water in the shower .. ever, what a joy !! Location was great. Breakfast was OK, but not worth $16, as it is the same that is served at other locations for free. Hotel has a parking garage with companionable pricing for the area. Again, the staff was fantastic and helpful, especially Erica ... She is a keeper a and a great asset for this hotel !

Yo reservé y pagué con anticipación una habitación para personas con silla de ruedas, ya que requiero de un baño para personas con discapacidad, cuando llegué a documentar me dijeron que no estaba disponible esa habitación porque había mucha gente hospedada, me cambiaron dos días después de habitación pero me tuve que bañar en un baño y arriesgarme a caerme ya que no tenía lo necesario para mi seguridad.

This is a very convenient hotel in terms of location right downtown in Bethesda, and it was basically clean. The lobby is not very attractive and the bed, while comfortable, had weird and skimpy bedding. Staff were efficient but not very personable. Altogether, convenient and serviceable, but not special.
