Extended Stay America Suites Washington DC Gaithersburg N

Clean and quiet place

Nice

It's a nice play to stay in for a night or two

This property was so run down that even though I’d already paid for the room we left and got a room at the Hampton Inn and Suites in the same town. This was expensive, but I wasn’t going to sleep in this hotel — I’d be worried about bedbugs all night.

Had probably 1 of the best nights of sleep in a hotel. Very quiet. Bathroom needs some maintenance. The shower was good.

Very old and dirty conditions and felt like I was part of a rehab center.

I am trying to keep in mind that most people who are in the hotel likely live there and are not just visiting for the weekend like my bf and I were for our trip...but the upstairs unit was loud, woke us up at 4:30am on Saturday and 3am on Sunday due to loud footsteps that seemed to be going in circles. You could also hear their shower/toilet running. People seemed to run down the halls. The toilet in our unit seemed like it was not completely stable, when you sit down and then get up it would shift and bang into the wall. The sink had some sort of marker stains or something. Ceiling above our shower had obvious signs of water damage. The grab and go breakfast, while grateful to have it and again trying to remember a good amount of people live there and probably make their own food, it was kind of lackluster. The muffins were quite small, the coffee was very bland and gross honestly. But it was fine for just a small snack before I headed out. The surrounding area was good, had lots of food variety nearby.

On a positive note, the hotel staff was pleasant, the beds were comfortable, and the location was good/quiet. However, the overall vibe was generally just sad. The rooms looked like a lot of corners had been cut when it came to repairs. For example, the room door didn’t fully close, and had an odd rubber pad around the doorframe as a fix of some sort. There were also a lot of dents in the door. The sink water was consistently grey. The bathroom was full of very obvious holes that had been patched over and painted with different colored paint. There was uneven and excessive grouting around the countertop (to hold it all in place?). The shower itself didn’t really function well (the faucet was very dated - and there wasn’t a good supply of hot water). The “free breakfast” was a couple of nutrigrain bars and muffins, and some oatmeal packs. Didn’t feel unsafe, but had a sense it was used mainly for transitional housing. I’m not generally picky when I travel, but I wouldn’t book here again.

Tye property needs an upgrade and so are the furnitures. It smells bad and there are 2 different properties. Good forcone night. Also toilet paper is given out when you ask fir it as well as towels. Breakfast is grab and go. Close to walking and lots of food places.

Thanks
