My review begins with five stars because this is a pleasant place to stay. I remove one star for the exorbitant price of parking, which is out of line with other parking facilities in Bethesda, and I moved to another one after the first expensive night here. I remove another star for the exorbitantly priced breakfast buffet and Internet charges. Most places I stay offer free breakfast and Internet. Those breakfasts are, admittedly, not as comprehensive as this one, but other facilities where I've stayed that had buffets like The Bethesdan would charge $15-16. This one was a ridiculous $27, so we had breakfast elsewhere for the days we stayed here. The free Internet was deadly slow, and it took forever for me to move some of my work files from my PC to my cloud facility. The paid Internet upgrade was yet another "nickel and dime" pricing tactic by The Bethesdan.
