This is a family-run business in the heart of Bethesda. Not fancy but run by a nice bunch of folks. Easy access to the NIH by shuttle. Close to two grocery stores and lots of restaurants.

The staff was very welcoming, however, the hotel was extremely outdated. There were some renovation efforts in progress but the elevator was out of service when I arrived and the room had a mildewed odor.

I would not recommend no matter how cheap and close to NIH. Our room has bugs and needs some updates. Hallways smell very musty. Keep everything zipped or the bugs will travel with you. Not a bed bug, more of a strange insect. Elevators don't work and we were put on 4th floor. Luckily a room on 2nd was available. Front desk staff were kind and smooth check in

At the time of the stay the elevator was out so the entire hotel was only accessible by stairs. That was a real inconvenience since I have a meniscus tear. Breakfast is NOT provided as advertised. The halls smell like weed. This is a very old and run-down joint. The wifi didn't work at all making us feel VERY stranded. AVOID STAYING HERE AT ALL COSTS.
