After a 4-hour domestic flight and a 10-hour long flight, I thought the journey from Washington Airport to the hotel would be far from the city center, but the following days weren't that difficult or long. Maybe it was just fatigue?
The hotel is a bit small but fully meets needs. The reception staff are helpful and attentive. The room was normal for a hotel concept, but it felt a little small to us, though that wasn't a problem. The cleanliness was good, the bathroom was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean.
There are security guards in the evenings, so it's safer.
Although the breakfast area is a bit cramped, the variety of food is good and constantly replenished (Turks shouldn't complain about the lack of products like cheese/olives, after all, this is America! Those who want these can buy them from the market). The hotel has a good professional coffee machine that makes instant coffee, you can get coffee 24/7; I really appreciated this service, which isn't found everywhere, and that's why I found the hotel worthwhile.
Silver Spring is a nice and clean place. The city center is a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel, and there are food, drinks, and clothing stores (Nike, TJ Maxx, Marshall, Whole Foods, etc.) available.
Alternatively, you can walk to the center in 10 minutes, then take a 20-minute subway ride ($4.30 one way, contactless credit card payments work seamlessly, no need to deal with tickets). The return journey is also hassle-free.
The city is very well organized; visit all the monuments and museums (free). They are all incredibly large and rich. Visit two museums in one day; you'll get tired but you won't forget. We stayed for 4 days, but it was enough. One day, get off at Union Market and walk towards the city; the neighborhoods will take you to a completely different place. I was very pleased with the hotel (thanks to everyone) and the city; we were very happy to have gone, seen, and experienced it.
If your next stop is Philadelphia and New York, buy your Amtrak ticket in advance.
