I stayed on the 9th floor concierge level, but it didn't seem to be anything special. I could hear lots of noise from the hallway from staff, and the neighbor's door banged very loudly when s/he entered or exited. The design of the room was strange: the first 6 feet or so of the floor at the entrance was cold tile. Say what? In addition the air in the room was exceedingly stale. Of course the windows are sealed throughout the building. Dead building syndrome.
The room service food is hit and miss. Good: the apple tart with vanilla ice cream (it's a pre-fab tarted heated up, but it's good nonetheless), and the crab cake sandwich. Bad: the "caesar salad". Let me tell you about this salad: it was created by a guy somewhere downstairs who ripped up some plain dry iceberg lettuce, put it on a plate, and then placed next to it 2 ceramic custard cups of dressing. That, my friends, is how you destroy anyone's interest in a salad.
The staff at the check-in was consistently pretentious.
The best thing about this hotel: the Rockville metro station is just across the street, and Whole Foods is only 2 blocks away.
In general I felt like I was in a motel. I doubt I will be returning to this establishment, unless I need it for its convenient location (Rockville does not have many high quality hotel choices).
