Clean room. Very helpful and responsive staff. A challenge to park in the narrow on-site lot and hard to find street parking (but unsual for this area of Bethesda). $20/day for on-site parking was a change from the free parking here during my last stays, but again, not unusual for this area. Short walk to metro, or WRMMC appts, Harris Teeter and bakery/coffee shops. Guapos next to the hotel serves delicious Mexican dinning or carry out options. I will happily continue to patronize American Inn in the future.

The room was small but being by myself I didn’t mind that so much. Lots of street noise and loud AC in the room. Not the cleanest bathroom I’ve encountered in a hotel. Rust stains (I think, almost looked like blood spattering) in the bath tub. Overall ok, probably would choose a different hotel in the future

Corridors, rooms. Carpets filthy. Exude a strong smell of weed n cigarettes . Rooms have extremely strong filthy mold like smell, front desk hardly helpful- except for DC. Very limited and inconvenient parking. They charge $20 per night for parking! Room- Easier to park in the public parking on the street on back side, AC worked erratically , elevator worked until the fourth floor, for the rest, climb stairs w your bags! Felt very unsafe. I’d 100 % avoid this nasty place. Only good thing is its location.

Good value if you just need a place to stay and you are not spending much time in your room. Small room. Hotel could use some updating We left each day at 9 am and didn’t get back to our room until 7:30. Amenities limited but coffee maker in room and refrigerator. Great location for shops and restaurants and train if you don’t mind walking. Staff very nice and accommodating. If you want to spend at least $100.00 or more least per night, GO FOR IT. Also, parked for free!
