“Good older facility, Nice amenities”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
4
people found this review helpful

We were traveling to the DC area for a conference near Capitol Hill and a visit to our daughter in Arlington. This hotel offered a nice comprimise to the two locations. The facility was a bit older, but kept up nicely. Our suite had a mini-kitchen, a quality 40 inch TV and comfortable bed. We were surprised when we got there to find that they offer a complimentary dinner Monday - Thursday evenings complete with beer or wine. The night we were there they were serving lasagna with a side salad. Since we already had dinner plans we didn't try it, but it looked good. They also have a complimentary buffet breakfast which we did enjoy. It had the standard cold offerings as well as scrammbled eggs, bisquits and sausage gravy, and a waffle maker.

I wish the property was closer to the Metro line. We got to the station before 8 AM and found the last parking place in the lot. Parking for the metro is about $4.50 a day. The motel does offer shuttle service to the Metro.

Other amenities included an outdoor pool (too cold for that in January), a mini market with microwaveable food and snacks, exercise room, etc. I thought the price was a bit on the high side, but if you took advantage of the free meal, it would balance out nicely.

Room Tip: Rooms on the back side face the interstate. Our room faced east (front of building) with a nice view...

“Won't disappoint”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This property was apparently an apartment building in it's previous life. The suites are huge! The hotel is a bit off the beaten path. Restaurants, shopping and the like are more than 1/2 mile away but there is a free shuttle for those without a car or who want to walk. The only drawbacks for me are minor. There's little soundproofing between the rooms. Only 2 sleeping pillows on the bed. There are 3, large decorative pillows as well. No vending machines. The hotel market has sells sods, water and some food items but be prepared to pay a premium price. $5 for a microwave soup? Really? Aside from that I wasn't disappointed and would return if in the area.

“Last Minuet Suprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

It was a lovely stay. I made reseveations the day before and it was very nice. The location was not hard to find even the taxi driver knew of the hotel. I loved the light dinner they served and also the nice breakfast. The person in charged came around and said hi. Very nice. In all I got a shuttle ride to the metro (back and forth) and the best cookies ever at the front desk. I also had a news paper and a green apple great things to start off a productive day.

Room Tip: the ones by the elevator is fine, also the corner rooms

“"Better than expected"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

people found this review helpful

It was very nice having 2 seperate bedrooms and the full kitchen with full size refrigerator and stove. We also liked having a dining room table. The breakfast was good. We weren't able to enjoy the free diners at night but I'm sure they would have been delicious. The shuttle bus was nice and the rental car too. All the staff were very nice and helpful too.

“So much better than expected”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

person found this review helpful

From the Highway didn't look great but, this was a wonderful experience. The rooms are so nice King size bed was so comfortable. Rashid checked us in and he was so friendly helped us when I found the room way to hot because we like the top floors. Michael Burns checked me out and when I called back because I left my jacket he sent someone right away to retrieve it and I was able to go back and pick it up right at front desk.

The week day dinner and breakfast would be a great help for long term stay.

Room Tip: Love 9th floor has a dishwasher and everything.
