The accommodation is a motel adjacent to a main arterial road towards the city outskirts. Best for a car traveller passing through. Limited public transport connection with the city centre . Noisy because of the road. But room, although tired looking was large , clean and adequate for purpose.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel is located in a depressed part of Washington DC. That can be seen as soon as one gets to the hotel. Reception area is not inviting - receptionist almost closed out behind a glass window. Corridor dirty. Insufficient elevators if one has heavy suitcase going up the stairs is a challenge. Overall a poor facility; other than the affordable cost.
