Horrible and seedy. Would never stay here again. Room smelled. Many long term guests living there. I did not feel safe here. Would have left but after driving all day and was travelling with my dog so no other option.

Just past the hotel further in was a Target and Walmart along with many restaurants and gas stations. Our room on the third floor was basic and clean enough. The... More

We stayed here while visiting Washington, DC, a beautiful place to be in the Spring. The rooms were advertised as newly renovated, but our room, although clean, was still quite basic and small.

Rooms were advertised as being "new rooms". Well, the walls were painted, and looked nice. We were in a king oversized room, which was supposed to be the best deal.
