Some tried to come in our room. Even though the room was locked, and said wrong room, and left right away when they knew someone is in the room. They also charged as a different amount upon arrival.

DO NOT STAY

Absolutely a horrible place. After confirming our room multiple times a week before our checked I was greeted to a closed office and told that my room wasn’t never booked (even thought I have phone records and emails for proof) and was turned away in the middle of the night. Management has yet to call and offer compensation or a remedy for there problems that was completely avoidable. Would not recommend this establishment.

Half-Way House

The place is a half-way house! Very dirty furniture and no air condition in the room. The lady Liz, site manager, was very nice and refunded me my money when she realized that there was no AC and the furniture was very dirty

Awful stay at red inn

Who ever clean my room went through my things they only fix bed and did nothing else. It didn't make me feel secure to leave my stuff in here for three nights. I didn't know this hotel would be so far away from my job. I wish I can cancel tomorrow and get closer to my usual picks.

I was was it was a little apprehensive because it was so inexpensive. But it was clean, quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was great. The proprietor was very nice. There were light-filtering shades on the windows and no curtains so the lights from the parking lot shined through. Plus, there was a huge lighted "EXIT" sign over the door which I thought was unnecessary. However, I would stay there again and will just bring a blindfold for sleeping. A good value for the money.

Does not recognize Hotels.com

We pulled up and did not even stay. They said they were not part of Hotels.com. It was a very scary neighborhood. A man was sitting outside drinking alcohol and told us if we wanted to stay there we needed to knock on room number 12 that man would help us. We drove away as fast as we could. We called Hotels.com canceled that reservation and booked a nicer hotel miles away. Because they said they are not part of Hotels.com they really should be removed from your website. That was misleading and you put us in a dangerous situation.

adequate but the room needs a little tlc/repair

The staff was fantastic when I could find them, but the room had a bit of a smell and was kind of beat up (with marks on the walls, a dresser that wouldn’t stay closed, the only electrical outlet was 1/2 melted). The room was laid out awkwardly, the side table was too far away from an outlet for anything on it to be plugged in so I was unable to use the lamp or have anything plugged in while it was on the bedside table. The walls were extremely thin so I could hear in detail the conversations and t.v.’s of the other rooms around me. Traffic sounds were minimal, which was great since this is right off of the highway. Lastly a big red Exit sign over the inside of the door that was brightly illuminated when the room was dark, so when I was sleeping the room was lit up red. All of this was a little disappointing since I opted for the more expensive room. I had family in another cheaper room and their experience was fine, altogether much nicer. I never received the wifi password and the office didn’t open until 11am so there was no one at the front desk until 11 am, which made it hard to communicate with anyone if I needed something. The air conditioner worked well, the bathroom was fairly clean but there were a lot of little spiders near the sink. The water temperature and pressure was decent. Over all this experience was basically adequate. Better and worse than anticipated in ways, but it was cost efficient.

Good, clean cheap motel.

It's a Spartan, clean, quiet place to stay on the outskirts of DC. Manager is very attentive, but it's a small motel without many creature comforts you get from bigger chains. Would definitely use it again if I was traveling by myself.

A good basic hotel located on a main road close to restaurants and grocery stores. TV channels were limited and not the usual offerings. The shower is ridiculously small. But it’s clean and the staff is nice and helpful.

Had to visit Ft. Belvoir, very conveniently located, but nothing else to do. Check in was easy, but when I wanted to check out, I found the registration area close and the desk vacated. However, all went well after a short call.

The email I got from the property claimed that the hotel check in ends at midnight and that a late check-in has to be called in advance, however, they close at 11:30. Later when addressing this, they ignored the fact that their email lied and just tried justifying the property closing early claiming it's how their prices are low (Other hotels have even lower prices and have a proper check in front desk), and never once addressed that. Also, at the very end of my visit, management came knocking on my door asking for me to remove a bad review I left earlier. Very unprofessional, and later on, days after I left, management sent me a passive-aggressive email regarding the experience, their policies, and everything about the visit. Highly recommend not staying there. It doesn't do you any good if you have a late flight or are arriving late, the email lies, and management is very unprofessional and might knock on your door if you leave a bad review.
