We book this hotel every year for the weekend. It’s clean, comfortable, with a lot of great places super close. The metro station is right up the road for us to go back and forth to the DC convention center. Parking is easy with garages available, one directly behind the hotel with no cost after 10pm or on Sunday, We usually have no complaints but this year was a little off. I was surprised about the extra $100 deposit on our hotel rate that will be refunded after 7-10 days. The hotel was already $80 more than last year without this additional fee. Our room seemed to not be ready and we checked in around 930pm. While the hotel desk attendant was very courteous and friendly to interact with, he left me awkwardly at the counter to go check on our room for several minutes. The room was clean with lots of towels and pillows. I love having a coffee machine and refrigerator/freezer which I use every time I come. The complimentary breakfast is always a top reason we come to this Silver Spring hotel to travel into DC. We were disappointed this year. Though their were plenty of great options to choose from, the pancake machine was out of service, the juice in the machine was watered down, the food was room temp some rather cold and the attendant didn’t refill the food right away like years before so we had to wait a long time for eggs. Sunday, we came down for breakfast around 9 and when we went back to our room to pack up, our keycard was no longer active and we couldn’t get in.
