Front Desk is extremely Slow

Stay was ok. Front desk was very inefficient. She was having trouble getting a customer checked in. After 20 minutes the customer said please take him. If not I would have stood there for an hour. I almost missed my appointment because of this. Just rude.

Well-kept midrange hotel on the outskirts

A clean, relatively inexpensive place for D.C. with spacious rooms, responsive staff, free if limited-choice breakfast, and you can't blame the hotel for the children screaming next door at 11 pm. Heads up that they charge $20/night for parking even though you are truly on the outskirts of DC, and that was an unpleasant surprise. Also, I could change the temperature and fan settings on the updated new thermostat, but nothing happened when I did. No fan went on or off, the temperature didn't change no matter how high the setting, and the room stayed cold. Maybe the old unit under the window was supposed to be on? But that wouldn't turn on at all and I assumed the unit was vestigial. It was late, so rather than ask for them to fix it or deal with moving rooms, I asked for an extra blanket which was quickly sent to me. But if this happens to you, don't be like me - ask them what's up!

Ridiculous to have to pay $47 for my truck and small trailer to park and 100s of empty spots. Lots of road noise around the hotel. Wouldn’t recommend

Property is clean and the staff is amazing. It is in the tougher side of town. Felt safe to walk in the daytime, but would be cautious at night. Had a great stay at the hotel. Breakfasts was good eggs and sausage links. Bagels, toast, oranges, apple, bananas. Milk, apple juice and orange, and coffee l, cereal

The staff was extremely friendly, kind and helpful, the rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the rooms were quiet but it was too far from downtown (most times a 20 to 30 minute drive), the neighborhood was a bit sketchy and there were no decent restaurants or grocery stores close by.

Our room and bathroom were exceptionally clean. Didnt see dirt or any hair in sight! Bed and bedding were very comfortable. Room was spacious. Only issue was the water did not stay warm very long which mad emy shower time shorter. Overall it was a very nice stay. Will definitely come back!

We enjoyed staying at the Arboretum because the room setup worked for us, and the staff were for the most part friendly, but the area wasn’t the best and the lack of transportation made us have to rely on ride apps to move around the city.
