Barriers in Wheelchair Accessible Room

Shelf for towels directly above grab bar, making it unusable. Light switches on most lamps unreachable. Coffee maker on top shelf of a cabinet and unreachable as well. Bed height was good - not too high. Had very few towels.

The stay was just fine. I do wish it had been a little updated. It was a little over-priced for the condition. It was mostly clean, however. Probably could've been a little cleaner. Otherwise the staff was nice and the location was good. The breakfast was also REALLY good. I stayed two days, and it was slightly different each day, which was cool. Coffee bar was good, too.

Our room smelled like a sweaty sock and there was hair stuck to the bathroom walls that clearly was not ours. The first night there was a drunken irate man shocking obscenities at the top of his lungs for HOURS and staff did nothing. I called the front desk multiple times with no answer and later we were told they couldn’t do anything for us bc we booked through Expedia. So I paid money for somewhere to sleep and couldn’t actually sleep. On top of that my children were woken up to F bombs being thrown. Ridiculous.

This was my third time staying at this property. I paid the three night stay in advance on 1/15/25 $362.66 via credit card. Due to the snow storm on 1/19/2024 in NOVA I checked out early on 1/18/2025 and did not spend 1/18/2025 on property. Imagine my surprise to receive a charge of $200.80 on 1/19/2025. I will address this directly with the hotel.

Our stay was fine. However Hotels.com neglected to send the confirmation number to me and the hotel so they didn’t have our reservation information when we arrived. Fortunately the manager was very nice and gave us the room while he contacted hotels.com to get our reservation number.
