Broken elevator

I typically avoid reserving hotels in the D.C. area rated below 8.0, and unfortunately, this stay reinforced that rule. Despite its suburban location, I struggled to find parking when I arrived at 1 a.m. Upon entering the hotel, I learned the elevator was out of service. That meant hauling luggage up four flights of stairs—not ideal, though the stairwells were thankfully short. The room itself was immediately uncomfortable. The air conditioning was off upon arrival, and with outside temperatures at 87°F, the interior felt the same. Even after setting the unit to “High” and “Cool,” there was little change after 20 minutes. Most concerning was an unpleasant odor near the desk area, which made it very difficult to work. It was musty and stale enough to suggest a lack of deep cleaning or maintenance. This experience didn’t meet expectations, especially given the hotel’s proximity to a major metropolitan area. I hope management addresses these issues for future guests.

The front desk person was rude and not helpful at all. I could not open the bathroom door all of the way because a shelf blocked it. I will never stay there again or recommend it to anyone.

Good enough for the price, has its issues

For the price, it wasn't terrible, and the staff were great, but it has some really bad qualities. Would I stay there again? Probably. But... First, the room itself was clean, and HUGE, but very dated. The bathroom was tiny, with zero counter space. You could sit on the toilet, wash your legs in the shower and brush your teeth all at the same time. The room we were in (102) is in a terrible location, along with every other room in that hallway... BOTH ends of the hallway can only be accessed by stairs, meaning if you want to bring a cart full of luggage to your room, YOU CAN'T. Thankfully, ours was right at the top of the steps, so we parked it at the bottom and carried our things up. Our room was handicap sized, but no one in a wheelchair is getting to that room. There is a homeless problem in the area (they were hanging out on the parking lot benches during the day), so the door at our end of the building was locked past a certain time, meaning we had to walk to the other end of the building to get out in the morning. I didn't see a pool at all, but there is a random barber shop IN the building right down from our room. The elevator on our end of the building was broken the entire time we were there, and had a sign that said it would be fixed "tomorrow" and blamed a guest for breaking it. The ice machine is not in a convenient location, 2 very long hallways, a lobby and a set of stairs later The lot itself was safe enough, but the parking spaces are tiny.
Two steps at our end, 5 or 6 at the other to get to the front desk.
The beds were comfortable.
Huge room, very dated.

Staff was very pleasant and nice upon checking in and out. The only problem was being on the second floor and having to lug my luggage up to my room because the elevator was down. But very nice, clean, and decent place to spend a night or two.

Stayed 1 night when visiting friends in Fairfax. Check in was easy, and the room was clean, but there was very limited hot water for showers, breakfast was mediocre, and there were milk alteranatives.
