The hotel was comfortable enough for our 2 night stay but very outdated and too many things broken. Drink machines on 3 floors were sold out, we gave up at 3, and the ice machine on our floor didn't work. I can understand not having one in every floor but at least have them work. The refrigerator in our domin froze my drinks even after we turned it down. Also the outlet in the bathroom had to be reset every time it was used. We weren't in the room that much so it was ok, but definately wouldn't want to stay there longer than the 2 nights.

Luckily, workers were nice and helped us upgrade to a slightly larger room. After thinking the room was booked as a 1 bed w/tub in room. Apparently, theres only 4 rooms like that and their booked for months in advance. So thankfully in the bigger room it balenced out. Sofa was uncomfortable to sit, sank under. Beds are super comfortable, but squeak. Bathroom water took a while to heat. Still felt amazing and enjoyed my time. Tv good as well but music louder than the dialog.

The hotel smells like body odor and dirty socks. The room smelled like old food, and the sheets smelled like harsh detergent with a noxious fake scent added. The bathtub had hair in it. The curtains were broken. One of the room keys didn't work, even after we had them re-image it.

We stayed for several days, and over the course of our stay, there was one nice person at the desk; everyone else was sullen and rude.

I wanted to switch to a different hotel after our first night, but I was so busy with my work conference I couldn't fit that task in. But I'll definitely never go back here again.

Let me just say, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had.

First off, the room was filthy. The mattress had stains, the walls had something on them that I didn’t even want to figure out, and honestly, the whole place just felt gross. The shower? Don’t even get me started. The water pressure didn’t work, so you had to keep pushing a button over and over just to get the showerhead to do anything. It was beyond frustrating.

The mattress was so hard it felt like sleeping on a rock. To top it all off, the elevators were broken, so we had to haul our stuff up to the third floor. After a long day, that was the last thing we needed.

I didn’t even feel comfortable eating breakfast in the morning because, based on how the hotel looked and felt, it didn’t seem safe or clean.

The only positive thing I can say is that the front desk staff was nice—but that’s about it. I wouldn’t stay here again, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I wish we had seen the full condition of the room earlier, but it was late, and we were only there for one night. Never again.

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.

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.

When we arrived, there were many people hanging out in the parking lot lingering. On the first night when we returned from dinner, three large rats ran down the sidewalk in front of the main entrance into the bushes in the garden, and it appeared there were more! The next morning, we decided to check out early and one of the large rats was dead in the flower bed right outside the front entrance.

MY CHI

This hotel is in a prime location - there are lots to do around it; plenty of restaurants, stores, etc. The hotel itself is very old and outdated. The room I stayed in had the bathroom door bubbling due to moisture and goodness grief, they stuck me in a room next to the gym! I would've asked for a different room but the person that helped check me in was so unpleasant, I didn't even bother. The bathroom is small, like only room for one person to be in because the door closes so close to the toilet. You can see rust at every corner of the bathroom. The faucets are so old. The carpet is dark and the room looks like a dreary museum. The bed springs are horrendous. You can feel it and as soon as you move, you hear everything. They advertise they have a pool but the pool is in the basement. You have to go down a dark alley to get to it, which is scary as a woman. The pool is enclosed so you feel suffocated. The pool is nothing to fawn over. It is severely old, too. This hotel says it offers breakfast but it's to take and go. There is no sit down option. You get things like a muffin and a banana to go. The front desk has zero personality. They don't say hi, they don't look up when speaking with you, and they mumble under their breath. If you're looking for just a one night stay, then this will be fine. But if you're wanting a more relaxed feeling, then skip this hotel.

I was not given the type of room I reserved and was confirmed. The tv did not work correctly, had a horrible tv guide so you didn’t know what was on at least half the channels and at least half the channels were not available. The bathroom was a total disaster. The jet tub in the middle of the room was a major inconvenience. The room was dark, the carpet needed replaced, the mini pillows did not provide adequate support. The room was stuff and hot. The air conditioner and mini refrigerator were extremely noisy. Personally I feel that I should be given a significant discount given the number of issues and the fact it was not the room I reserved and was confirmed. It was certainly my last stay at this location and I intend to contact corporate to lodge a complaint.

It was just as I expected from Comfort Inn, but lacking in a few areas: we were first put in a room that smelled pretty at first, but less than a minute later, that pretty smell was noticeably strong even after I opened the window. I would probably have a migraine after an hour! The check in person put us in another room, no problem whatsoever. Our new room didn’t have a switch for the lights when you walked in, just for the entry. So we had to walk in the dark to figure out how to turn the other lights on! Once that was solved, it just became normal every night we walked in!
The next morning, as we were coming down for breakfast, the elevator got stuck! We were amazed at how quickly the staff handled the situation, got us out of there within 5 minutes!
The staff is super, super nice, we loved the breakfast lady who is always so friendly and helpful. But Comfort Inn needs to step up and give this hotel some TLC.
