Okay stay but you get what you pay for
This is a conversion from a larger chain hotel to a privately owned hotel. It was 102 degrees outside and there were no ice machines. Maintenance was lacking but not a huge issue. They charged $10 per night for parking but they had an abundance of it. Room was clean and staff was minimal. Nightly cost was comparatively low.

We left early. Extremely loud. We could actually see into the connecting room through the bottom of the door. Smelled like smoke. Questionble area.

DC Trip
Fair good for the price. Not fancy but we have to transfer rooms 2x due broken shower and the other room emits sewage smell. Finally got a decent room and stayed for the rest of the days. Service is quick and commendable. Nice location with Dunkin Donuts on the side and Checker Burger place. Best thing is, the hotel is pretty much close to the National Mall and close to the National Shrine of Immaculate Conception.

Walked in and the whole place reaked of smoke and was blasting music. No way I could spend the night there, so I left right away and booked at a different hotel.

It is a Motel and not a Hotel. The furnitures are older and broken than the ones shown in image. I stayed for 2 day but was always had a feeling towards family safety and security. In the same budget you can have better options. Location wise it is good. Rest is ones choice!!

Nice and friendly staff. The price is pretty good for the property.
At the same time I was surprised to pay additional price for parking while it was advertised that the parking is available.
