I traveled down to DC from Philly for a few days with the hope of hitting the main attractions, touring, and walking around the city. I chose this place because of its close proximity to the bus that would take me down to those areas of DC.
I can safely say that the choice of this motel almost ruined my trip. I’ve never stayed at a motel before, so maybe these complaints are misplaced but I just have to let people know what they’re getting into.

This motel reeked of cigarettes from the moment I walked in. The room I stayed in had a cigarette smell AND my bedsheet also reeked of cigarettes. Clean clothes that I never wore during my stay there had to be washed upon returning home due to the bad smell of cigarettes on them from being laid on the bed. The place had paper thin walls and you could hear the noises of other people. The front desk was nice and the

Absolutely disgusting place. From the moment we arrived, it felt unsafe and sketchy people hanging around, cars with people sleeping inside, and the entire parking lot smelled like smoke and weed.
There’s no real lobby, just a run-down, poorly maintained property that reeks of a horrible, unbearable smell. The staff was completely useless and unprofessional.
The room looked NOTHING like the pictures. It was filthy stained sheets, dirty walls, and even marks from smashed bugs/roaches. The smell inside was even worse smoke, weed, mold, and stale air. It was so bad we didn’t even feel comfortable touching anything.
We checked in at 1 AM and left within minutes because staying there was not an option.
I honestly don’t understand how Expedia even lists this place it’s completely misleading. We didn’t stay at all and still only got one night refunded.

If I could give a negative rating, I would. Avoid at all costs.

As a traveler simply looking for an affordable place to rest for the night, I arrived hopeful that the room would be clean and comfortable despite the exterior appearance of the property. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

The condition of the room was unacceptable. There were visible gaps around the door where light from the hallway shone through, raising concerns about both privacy and safety. The bathroom was unsanitary, with bugs present and a towel that had a black hair on it upon arrival. Additionally, the shower floor felt unstable and shifted underfoot, nearly causing a fall.

Within just an hour of being in the room, I began to feel uncomfortable and even experienced skin irritation. Due to these conditions, we made the decision to leave and find accommodations elsewhere.

I understand that this is a budget-friendly hotel option, and my expectations were reasonable. However, basic cleanliness, safety, and maintenance should never be compromised. This property is in serious need of attention and proper upkeep.

The room was clean but out dated and uncomfortable. The pillows on the bed were flat, the mattress was hard and the blanket was rough, sheets had cuts in them, the air unit was loud. The bathroom was gross with visible mold, the toilet wouldn’t flush fully on one pull, and the shower head didn’t fully work. The hotel was noisy with loud guest, a lot of partying and visible over indulgence from guest. Chemical smells and smoke in hallways of nonsmoking! I had to leave a day early it was so bad!

The property is infested with rodents I found I wrote it in my sneaker with a grape. They were climbing on the counter, their holes all in the walls in the bathrooms. This place should be closed down. It’s infested and rodents. It’s falling apart and they’re still charging people cause they can get away with it. I mentioned something to management in the staff and they move to another room only to find another rodent crawling around in my laptop. I will post videos and pictures of these. The place is dirty and they don’t seem to care who stays there. Even while I was there, a man fell on the steps with the liquor ball and broke his leg. It was literally something out of the nightmare stay at this place. I asked for a refund and I was told I couldn’t because I already switched rooms so I am posting what I seen during my stay and calling the health department.

Never again

Walked into a room that someone absolutely smoked in even though we were in a non smoking section. The fire alarm was covered in our room.It reaked. It is as if the staff didnt even go in and clean after the people before us. In the lobby were people who were kicked out of the hotel just hanging out talking about they were not allowed to rent a room. The door to the bathroom was completely busted. The TV only had one channel. Will never stay again.

I’ve stayed in some questionable places before, but this one takes the cake for being the dirtiest places ever. First off, let’s talk about the room you get what you get for $144 a night – I think the last time it was cleaned was the day Motel 6 in Washington DC first opened. There were marker scribbles all over the walls like a toddler got loose with a Sharpie. Cigarette burns on the bed sheets? Sure, it was a smoking room, but come on

The next thing was a huge water stain on the wall that looked like it had been there since the last ice age. I’m not even sure what it was – some sort of ancient drip formation. Maybe a secret message from the past? If you think the wall is bad, wait till you spot the baseboard – it has a mystery wax splatter, more so a mystery fluid that we have yet to figure out for sure what it is.

And don’t even get me started on the bathroom. I’m pretty sure someone used the tub as an ashtray. But no worries, there’s more fun: A hair perfectly placed on the top towel – just in case you wanted to start your day with a surprise. The window had clearly never been cleaned, not in this century anyway, and I’m guessing the surrounding area had been left in a time capsule.

All in all, this place is a \"surprise\" – if you love discovering new ways hotels can surprise you with dirt and neglect, this place is for you. Maybe I’ll come back... but only if I’m on a reality TV show about survival. Avoid if you value your sanity.

Details of my stay

Bring your own pillow! Mattresses are hard and pillows are flat. They have a vending machine and only free coffee. They wouldn’t allow early check in. The walk to the Tacoma red line is less than 15 minutes. Sticky Fingers across the metro entry has delicious pastries. If you are wanting the least expensive option to stay, then this is your place. If you are looking for comfort and a room with at a refrigerator in your room, then look elsewhere.

Roaches are unacceptable in my book...
They need to shut down and exterminate.

DONT DO IT!!!!!

First room- Roaches
Second room- Mouse droppings, hair, and dirt everywhere
Third try- after “You’ve been here before right?”
Me: No
Them: Are you sure? Because you look familiar. If you don’t like this room you should probably leave”

I’m from DC, I should have known better. It’s worth it to go right up the street (LITERALLY) to Silver Spring. Mater of fact use the app and go ANYWHERE it here. Also I think it’s a temporary shelter too. (Do what you want with that information)

Cheapest hotel in DC! It’s not fancy and doesn’t offer special perks, but it’s affordable!! It’s also a smoking hotel so if you don’t like smoke… Totally worth the price!!!

For the price, it’s good enough to sleep in if you’re very tired, but the environment is not the best. It truly does feel like a motel. Bedsheets are not clean. There’s no exhaust in the bathroom. The toilet does not flush properly. Again, it is what it is for the price.

The shower curtain rod would not hold the shower curtain so that it actually stopped the water from getting on the bathroom floor.
No additional blankets were available at the hotel.
The lighting in the room was very poor.
There was no comfortable seating.

We paid and they tried to tell us that we didn’t pay and on top of that used a different card than we had on file, had us call customer service and wait for a response. They took an hour. We just got off work with our child it was a convience yet they decided to try to push us away, as well as tried to make us pay again when money was already taken out of our account. Customer service couldn’t even contact the landline they said they had. Customer service stated that they weren’t a real hotel. They couldn’t be found on their website.

This place needs a major renovation and could really use new staff members who really take the job series maybe they're not getting paid enough or maybe they just need new management

I did not really like anything. It was a place to sleep is the best I can come up with.
I had to have my door card rescanned every day. The room had bugs, The cable was very limited. Only one small table and one very uncomfortable chair. The tub was very smooth so taking a shower was dangerous. The site has only one cart. The air conditioner was noisy and did not work very well. The mattress was not good.

This hotel is bare minimum. No fridge or microwave inside the room. The sheets were stained and the whole place was stuffy and stale and gave me kind of a gross vibe. The bed was uncomfortable as hell and the pillows were like half a pillow--flat as all get out and sunk underneath the weight of my head. The bathroom just looked dingy and I didn't want to walk barefoot type of situation.
