"Asked for a quiet room upon checkin, had already listed that on the reservation, yet had to argue several times with the checkin man that yes I wanted it. Room was mostly quiet except it overlooked the busy roadway. Small king room.no whirlpool, no room safe. Sheets were terrible, old with lots of pilling. Breakfast was standard, but overcooked eggs. Close to bus stop to get to metro train to dc."
