Terrible experience. Only went with this hotel because I needed a fridge and stove for my autistic son’s needs. The entire place is run down, dirty, full of stains. The appliances are also dirty and old. Our walls and carpet were dirty and there were different areas of the room that were broken. I reported all of this and nothing was done. Additionally, I was bitten all over my legs overnight and when I reported it, the man at the front desk’s response was “the mosquitos in DC are vicious”. I showed the bites to my friend who is an exterminator and he said they were definitely bedbug bites.

Looked pretty on ground floor. Hotel clerk that checked us in was nice. Manager and rest of staff rude. Got to our room which was newer and looked nice but the beds were unmade and sheets everywhere. They changed our room to an older more run down room. Kitchen dirty and bathroom dirty. People in our family did not want to take showers because of how room looked. TV did not work and they claimed it was because of a storm - yet the internet worked. Other people had issues and they were afraid to say something because of how we were treated (they witnessed one of the interactions regarding the room). They comped parking but should have comped everything. We were afraid to walk around room without shoes on. had lots of bed bug bites as well. Will share photos with expedia directly.
