The staff was friendly and helpful, but the condition of the property was poor. There was mold or water spots on the bathroom ceiling and the tub was pealing. There were several places around the hotel with water stains and peeling wall paper. There was trash on the exterior as well. Not worth the nightly rate!

The property was acceptable but too far away from downtown Washington if you have daily activities in that location. I did not get an opportunity to explore the neigboring businesses. They appear modern and vibrant.

Nope. Spend the extra money on another room

I know I saved money staying at this hotel but unfortunately it just was not up to expectations when thinking of a Holiday Inn property. There was a dark stain in my carpet, the wallpaper is peeling, shower had stains and did not drain properly, sink didn’t drain properly. Good things bed sleep well, nice pillows, good location, safe area, and close to metro for easy access to D.C. I would not stay here again I should have spent the extra $30 a night and stayed somewhere else. I do not recommend this hotel.
