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.

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.

Review

Good value if you just need a place to stay and you are not spending much time in your room. Small room. Hotel could use some updating We left each day at 9 am and didn’t get back to our room until 7:30. Amenities limited but coffee maker in room and refrigerator. Great location for shops and restaurants and train if you don’t mind walking. Staff very nice and accommodating. If you want to spend at least $100.00 or more least per night, GO FOR IT. Also, parked for free!
