My husband and I stayed here for four nights and had a great stay. Gary's parents were very nice and helpful in checking us in (they even helped bring our bags inside). The room was spacious and comfortable, with everything we could have possibly needed (towels, AC, even a mini fridge). We came in the middle of summer, but the room was temperature controlled with an AC window unit. It's about two and a half miles from the mall, so we took a Lyft down there and it was close by and very cheap. Within walking distance to lots of great food. Hope to stay here our next time in DC!
