Roaches are unacceptable in my book...
They need to shut down and exterminate.

DONT DO IT!!!!!
First room- Roaches
Second room- Mouse droppings, hair, and dirt everywhere
Third try- after “You’ve been here before right?”
Me: No
Them: Are you sure? Because you look familiar. If you don’t like this room you should probably leave”
I’m from DC, I should have known better. It’s worth it to go right up the street (LITERALLY) to Silver Spring. Mater of fact use the app and go ANYWHERE it here. Also I think it’s a temporary shelter too. (Do what you want with that information)

Cheapest hotel in DC! It’s not fancy and doesn’t offer special perks, but it’s affordable!! It’s also a smoking hotel so if you don’t like smoke… Totally worth the price!!!

For the price, it’s good enough to sleep in if you’re very tired, but the environment is not the best. It truly does feel like a motel. Bedsheets are not clean. There’s no exhaust in the bathroom. The toilet does not flush properly. Again, it is what it is for the price.

The shower curtain rod would not hold the shower curtain so that it actually stopped the water from getting on the bathroom floor.
No additional blankets were available at the hotel.
The lighting in the room was very poor.
There was no comfortable seating.

The sheets were dirty and there were bugs in the room. Additionally, checking in was difficult and the staff were quite rude.

My door doesn't close properly, it was stuck, there was a cockroach in my bathtub, and there's no hot water to take a shower. I couldn't take a shower. There was noise at the window all night.

I liked the friendly woman at the desk.
I did not like the roaches, smells, under maintenence, and predatory people hanging around inside and outside.
