Location

Keys barely worked to the door. Restroom was not clean, had to get housekeeping to clean

After a 4-hour domestic flight and a 10-hour long flight, I thought the journey from Washington Airport to the hotel would be far from the city center, but the following days weren't that difficult or long. Maybe it was just fatigue? The hotel is a bit small but fully meets needs. The reception staff are helpful and attentive. The room is normal for a hotel concept, but it felt a little small to us, though that wasn't a problem. The cleanliness was good, the bathroom was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean. There are security guards in the evenings, so it's safer. Although the breakfast area is a bit cramped, the variety of food is good and constantly replenished (Turks shouldn't complain about the lack of items like cheese/olives, after all, this is America! Those who want these can buy them from the market). There's a good coffee machine that makes instant coffee, you can get coffee 24/7, which I really liked and appreciated. Silver Spring is a nice and clean place, the city center is a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel and there are food, drink and clothing stores (Nike, TJ Maxx, Marshall, Whole Foods etc.) available. The metro is a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and the city center is a 20-minute walk away (one-way $4.30, contactless credit card payments work seamlessly, no need to deal with tickets). The city is very well organized; visit all the monuments and museums (free). They are all incredibly large and rich. Visit two museums in one day; you'll get tired, but you won't forget. We stayed for 4 days, but it was enough. One day, get off at Union Market and walk towards the city; the neighborhoods will take you to a whole different place. I was very pleased with the hotel (thanks to everyone) and the city; I'm so glad we went and saw it.

The room in great shape and relaxed.

TV did not meet my expectations. I am expecting smart TV for variety of options.

Nice staff. Clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast.

Parking is limited on site. A parking garage is behind the building.

El personal es muy atento, para destacar las personas de mantenimiento.

Algunas deficiencias en la habitación... La cortina no cubria toda la ventana, cuando la cambiaron pusieron una que tapaba el aire acondicionado. Era una habitación doble y sólo tenía lámpara y conectores a un lado de la cámara.. Una persona de mantenimiento ayudó poniendo una extensión.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room. Really good breakfast options and the staff during the breakfast were also very helpful and friendly. Very easy walk to the metro and downtown silver spring

The bathroom wasn't super clean, quite a bit of hair on the ground behind the door but nothing major that I couldn't pick up in 2 seconds, air conditioner very very loud and aimed directly at the bed.
