If you are expecting a lot do not stay here. It is more like a motel than a hotel.
CONS:
The rooms are old, the carpeting is old (an wrinkled in some spots).
While they are non-smoking rooms, you get the standard carpet fresh smell that appears to mask years of smoking in the past.
The furniture resembles the particle board assemble yourself stuff.
The TVs were NOT flat screens.
There was no outlet to plug in our laptop. I had to unplug the clock radio (or lamp) to use that outlet.
Mattresses seemed a bit sunken (not too bad though).
That being said, there were a few positives:
The lobby and breakfast area were very updated and clean.
The staff was very nice.
The rooms were relatively clean. I have stayed at a few friends houses that were probably dirtier.
The room had a fridge and microwave, both of which looked relatively new.
A continental breakfast was included. While nothing great, it was enough to make due till lunch, saving you time and money.
Free Wi-Fi.
We were only staying one night as we were passing through on our way to DC. Our hotel in Arlington wanted $200 for a Wednesday night, so we opted to stay the first night here and save $110. Don;t stay here if you want FANCY. But if you are looking for a good value and don't set your expectations too high, it's ok.
