    Undeniably dark.  Only one bedside lamp in the room, impossible to read or see inside the room.  Out of 3 elevators, only one works,  resulting in long waits.

    The hotel failed to make and honor my reservation and then were fully booked. They did not call me, and they didn’t offer to assist me in getting placed in another hotel nearby. No apology or care. I was left scrambling to find another hotel at nighttime.

    Downtown Bethesda hotel. Rooms were a little dated, but clean , large, and very quiet. Blind came all the way down and covered the whole window blocking the streetlights. Charge for parking which, for the price of the room, should be included. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful.

    I booked a block of rooms for my wedding guests at this location, and had a fantastic experience working with Angie, Lisa, and Trek. Team was helpful and attentive, ensuring that we knew what options were available and always communicating promptly [which helped with our stress levels]. We also booked one of the conference rooms for board games after the ceremony, and guests were pleased to have a clean and relaxing place with good snacks.
