Ok if you want to save
This is a super-budget place, and as such it is fine. It is relatively clean (except towel had some suspicious brown spots). I did not appreciate when at check in the person tried convincing me we requested a smoking room, I had to pull out my reservation to prove it is for a non-smoking one

Not perfect, but a good value
Room was clean and quiet, and the shower was good and hot. Big pluses there. We arrived about 9pm and were unable to find a desk attendant even though office door was open, no sign or bell to ring. Finally appeared after knocking om office back door. Bathroom sink plug would not raise up so water would not drain from sink without being propped open. Our door cards stopped working approximately every 12 hours during our 2-1/2 day stay. We were sad that the ice machine wasn't working, but the desk attendant suggested asking the fancy restaurant across the street for a little ice and that worked! The very friendly housekeeper was happy to allow us to use her dryer for some hand-washed laundry we had. Interesting neighborhood, a part of DC behind-the-scenes.

The room was quiet, easy parking and an easy stroll to freat restaurants and transport. Though the motel was old and had a run down appearance, it was clean and comfortable.
I have not slept at all today. The bed has bedbugs and I spent all night killing them. The place is not clean and the floor is sticky meaning it hasn't been cleaned for sometime

It’s a very old building, but the staff is excellent. The horse doesn’t speak very good English no services.
It’s a dump. Didn’t even have a bathmat and when I asked the housekeeper for one, she gave me a heavily stained bath towel that had been torn in two and was finishing its life as a cleaning rag. I did not feel safe here either as it’s not in a good part of town. I left without staying the second night I had already paid for.
Dont waste your money. Our room had not been cleaned, bed linen was dirty, bathroom was dirty, no fridge or microwave;not even a lamp in room. Door was warped, so you could see outside when it was closed. Tried to call office for refund of room and was going to sleep in my car but nobody answers. Will not come back here. They even have wrote with permanent markers on towels and wash cloths.

Every morning I saw a new dead cockroach on the floor.
This property was not as advertised at all. This is a motel and a hottel. We checked in to room and there was a mouse running around. Debris grom outaide all ocer the floor.
Terrible.
I know this property has some poor reviews but man for the price and the area you get to stay in it’s well worth it. Free parking was amazing and is very walkable.
Party and drug use all night music with people coming and going. Roaches in bathroom and no coffee in the morning. Uncaring staff that would not answer the phone.
