Overall, it was a good...

Liked: The location was great and the pricing was great as well. The breakfast was also very good and it was nice being able to have something in our stomachs before we left the hotel.
Disliked: I did not like that we were able to hear the people outside running around and making noise when trying to sleep.

Pleasant

Liked: How much space there was
Disliked: I woke up to water falling on my head from the ceiling

Would not recommend.

Liked: The neighborhood where this hotel was located is excellent, featuring lots of great restaurants and amenities nearby. The price of the hotel was inexpensive (which is why we booked). The hotel has free parking.
Disliked: This property has not been upkept. The rooms were shabby and dirty. The lock on our bedroom door was ripped off, the showerhead had a major fountain-like leak in it, and lightbulbs were out in several fixtures (to be fair, maintenance did come and fix the latter issues, but the fact that issues like this weren't fixed before guests arrived is disturbing. This hotel felt similar in it shabbiness to a number of hotels I've stayed in in developing countries -- not acceptable for urbanite Bethesda!). In addition, our first floor room was located next to a back door that was open to the street all day and evening long; this door was so flimsy that it didn't stay closed if pushed that way. Nor did the door have any kind of keycard entry requirement. This setup was in place to allow access to a hotel restaurant, but it didn't feel safe, and because the door was blowing open in the winter, the breezeway was freezing. Seriously, a business hotel in a major city needs to do way better.

Exceptional

Comfortable and welcoming. Centrally located.

Liked: Walking distance to Bethesda Metro and the Bethesda jazz and blues supper club. Nice neighborhood. Friendly staff. Nice Mexican restaurant on site.

Fabulous

Liked: All was good
Disliked: Would love if you Moved away from single-use plastic products.

Not coming back

Liked: Location was good, and you rarely find free parking in this area anymore. And the bed was comfortable.
Disliked: The room was absolutely tiny (single queen bed) with barely enough room to walk around it, with a tiny desk and a chair shoved in the corner. The bath was similarly small with room for only one person. Add to that the fact that the fixtures and appointments were 80?s vintage (calling this place ?dated? would be doing a disservice to dated properties) and the overall impression is that I should have stayed elsewhere.

Exceptional

Good

Liked: It has character and a good little gym space.
Disliked: Small parking space area and the room we stayed in was dingy.
