Expedia posted deceptive pictures of this property! My wife found bedbugs in her bed & many other human hairs on mattress cover. We did not stay but were still charged for 1 night We found another hotel in the area that was wonderful. This wasted so much time and disappointment to our 2 day vacation in Bethesda. We were vacationing from Canada to a place we had previously lived 25 years ago.

This was the single most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in my entire life. Only stay here if you have absolutely NO extra money to stay elsewhere. The 2 & 3rd floors house what appear to be welfare families. On many occasions, their little children roam the lobby/outside areas alone while their parents are getting high. Absolutely disgusting filthy property! DON’T STAY HERE!!

Stayed 5 days. Room only cleaned on first day. Offers breakfast. Unlike most places there is a paper bag with some items. It is deceptive to say that they offer breakfast. No place that says breakfast has this, There is usually coffee and something to pick up. Parking is terrible needs backing into. Anyone allowed to park in handicap spots encouraged by management. One of the persons on desk made you stand without acknowledging my presence waiting in the line .Overheard persons in lobby who were given a room flooded and having roaches. Will never ever recommend this facility to anyone

Average hotel and below par check in experience
Front desk person was not available for about 15 mins. A lady waiting in front of us had to call the office at least twice before someone answered. Front desk guy was on his phone while walking slowly back to counter/chair and get in front of computer.

When I arrived, I waited far too long to check in because no one was at the front desk. My shower clearly hadn't been cleaned - there was hair on the shower walls. There were mold spots on the wall in the bathroom. The internet was spotty.

Staying at the American Inn was really nice and very convenient. I appreciated the price immensely and the ease of booking it. However, I would encourage the facility to ensure guests know about alternative parking options. It was pretty hard to figure out what to do other than to park at the very small lot that the hotel had. So if there could be information given to people about where they can park overnight or even a deal with the Bethesda Hotel that guests can park there at a different rate would be appreciated. Otherwise, very solid hotel - for a modest sensibly priced spaceright in the heart of Bethesda. Four blocks from the Metro 20 minutes from downtown DC. Well done!

I would’ve given a higher rating had I at least known what I was really booking. The pictures posted in the listing should be illegal. They do not resemble the building exterior, interior, or rooms at all. It was dirty. The parking garage only held about 15 cars total and it was extremely difficult to get in and out of. It was totally deceptive and was grateful to get out without being mugged or attacked in the garage. There were men just walking and sitting in it with hoods up when we pulled in. The price was tempting, it is not worth the savings. Someone sadly overdosed and was found in in the parking lot of the gas station next door the morning we left.

DISGUSTING, need a refund, so dirty, smelled like a dumpster in the halls, blood splatter and dead bug on wall, sheets stunk, A/C not working properly, tub didn’t drain for hours, bathroom floor slick and dirty, sticky light switches, was told it’s also a homeless shelter. Elevator broke, took stairs and there was pee on the steps. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
