Our stay at this hotel was very good, check in was quick and easy. The hotel is 8 miles to D.C. Area by car. Metro is about 2 miles, 2 bus options are available. The 2A bus which will take you to the Ballston Metro or the 3A which will take you to the East Falls Church Metro. Bus stop... More

I have been staying at this hotel weekly for over 5 years. The rooms are always very clean, the service is very good and staff is very friendly. Location is very convenient to the DC area. I have tried other hotels in the area and have always come back to this one as my top choice.

I have no complaint about this hotel. It's more like a motel but cleaner. It's a short distance commute to Ballston, and there's a bus that brings you there. There are a few restaurants that you can walk to, and an on-site restaurant. It's not far from anything, and the room is ok. Of course, you cannot compare this to... More

It's good for just that: Just one night. Room condition is plain and mediocre. Air is definitely not fresh, even a slight odor can be detected. It's over charged: The next 2 nights we were in DC, only less than 20 minute drive, paying roughly 15% more, for a 200% increase in overall value. Absolutely not recommended!

While we are full service with the restaurant, breakfast, wifi, facilities etc. we position our selves as a 2 star location to reflect that we are an... More

After a long flight I arrived extra grumpy and was not happy to find the air conditioning wasn't working in our room. I was prepared to leave but the new owner went above and beyond to find us the right room and make sure we were happy. We were glad we stayed. The room was clean, the bed was soft,... More

Great price for a very clean room, free internet and free breakfast. The best part was the service we received... It had been a rough trip and the hotel manager, Dave, gave us great advice on how to take the metro the next day and offered to call a taxi for us the next morning, and even allowed us to... More

I don't want to mislead with the score - mine is based on value. Solid clean rooms, Hot breakfast included but Used a great diner in the hotel anyways. I say finally because I felt their should be a hotel in DC for under a 100.00, but expected another run down motel. VERY CLEAN, GREAT SERVICE and most oddly the... More

Thank you for the Great comments, As an independent Inn we strive to provide value and service that allow us to stand out from the chains, also very pleased you found the promo rate from booking direct with the hotel, with DC rates we try and keep as low as we can between our 100-140 range especially on direct bookings....
