Nope. Spend the extra money on another room

I know I saved money staying at this hotel but unfortunately it just was not up to expectations when thinking of a Holiday Inn property. There was a dark stain in my carpet, the wallpaper is peeling, shower had stains and did not drain properly, sink didn’t drain properly. Good things bed sleep well, nice pillows, good location, safe area, and close to metro for easy access to D.C. I would not stay here again I should have spent the extra $30 a night and stayed somewhere else. I do not recommend this hotel.

The more staff was amazing! Stored our luggage, let us park out car before check in. During our stay we told front desk the little one had an accident on the bed and we needed a new comforter, we were told they coyld not give us a comforter. We had two rooms, they didn't clean the one room at all and only clean the other room one time.

Awful hotel / Nice city

Hotel was not worth what we paid! Elevators smelled as if they had not been cleaned. We stayed three nights and the lobby smelled like marijuana everyday. Our room was awful, they gave us a room with an adjoining room next to it but only one of the locks worked for the door. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, we woke up with back pain every morning. The shower/tube was extremely slippery, our oldest daughter slipped getting out, luckily she caught herself or it would have been pretty bad. The pool was the only nice thing about this hotel. It was outdoors, well maintained and the lifeguard was nice.

The property is very old and not being maintained properly. The AC in the room is archaic with manual controls. The thermostat doesn't work. Whole room gives a feeling of being damp. When we asked to change the room, we were told that all rooms are same.
