The hotel was clean and well-kept. The area appeared safe. The only complaint is the extra $10 per night for parking in their outside parking lot.

Check in was easy and the room was clean enough. However the neighborhood is very sketchy. Lots of people loitering. Will it stay here again.

Great stay for the price. It was clean and quiet. The room was small, but plenty of room for me. The only negative was the choice of tv channels.

The staff was helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Coffee machines and microwaves were available in the rooms. The property is basic, motel rather than hotel experience with all rooms haveing direct outdoor access. for those who have vehicles there is gated parking. Unfortunately, the location is directly on very busy highway and therefore a bit noisy. It is not particularly accessable for disabled clientel as access to the rooms necessitated negotiating steps either up or down

Not a bad hotel for the price
Had all the amenities that one would need for a short trip.
The rooms were clean and luckily we didn’t face any smoke smell or bedbugs issues as suggested by other reviews.
Keep in mind it is priced low so do expect to have different population of guests.

Clean room, quick check in, zero hassle. Parking lot has overnight guard to watch cars, gives peace of mind. 7 minute walk from echo stage. Perfect for music festivals at RFK Festival Grounds.

Had a short one night stay. Was easy to check in and out. Room was clean for the most part. Did see some stuff down in the drain of the sink and a roach on the wall, but other than that it wasn’t too bad. Parking was nice and cheap. Left early in the morning to get breakfast and they had someone posted up to let people in/out. Area is a little sketchy, but there’s plenty of options for food, shopping, etc. Somebody in the lobby was reporting that his car was broken into, so be sure to lock up.

This is an old well worn Days Inn, and reading the reviews, which were all over the place, we weren’t sure what we were in for. Well, the property as a whole was well worn, but the room we were in was updated and very nice and clean.
However, the door seal was very bad and the front window was plexiglass or something and we were right by a stairwell and the sound of people coming and going at all hours was significant.
The mitigating factor is the cost was reasonable for DC, and we weren’t spending much time there, so that’s how it goes. A $10 per night parking fee is charged, but it is a big fenced lot and convenient. If you want to limit your budget, this was good enough.

Amazing price even at last moment, close to many locations. Friendly staff. The bed was comfortable, the room floors were not the cleanest barefoot. At night, there is only one staff at the reception, so there won't be any room service at night but all the things you need can be sourced.
Also has an inhouse restuarant which seemed nice, and reasonably priced.
