Very convenient for a trip to D.C./National Mall! Shuttle to and from Ballston MU in the morning and evening is great. Good breakfast and coffee!! The beds could be softer but overall nice rooms. I’d stay there if I visit DC and encourage others to stay there too. Front desk was mostly pleasant.

Overall the stay was nice, & the staff were friendly. The hotel rooms definitely need to be updated/fixed. Despite there being housekeepers around, crushed Apple Jacks remained on the hallway floor on our way to our room, & clothing/garbage were in random spots in the same hallway as well.

Was an OK stay.
We liked that it was close to the Metro. And plenty of great places to grab a bite. The staff was very nice, easy check in and out. Downside for us was that the room smelled musky, and the AC was not very cool. Needs some updates to decore, furniture. Had one light that would not stay on , flickered off and on. Was an ok stay, but might not choose to stay there again with other Hotel options with higher reviews near by.

Fine for a short stay
Acceptable for an overnight stay. We had 2 rooms. One had everything. The other had no shower curtain or large towels, only 1 hand towel and 3 washcloths. Made drying off difficult.
Very close to DC. Lots of places within a short drive. Decent included breakfast. Bed was acceptable. A/C worked great.

Front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Parking is convenient and sheltered. Location is safe and within walking distance to amenities and even a wetland. Shuttle service is provided to nearby metro. Love the breakfast especially the self-made waffle. Certain facility needs improvement: our main door does not close properly and bathroom shower tap needs effort to turn on. Overall we are satisfied with our stay and would recommend booking this hotel.
