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.

Was extremely dated. Lobby smelled of urine and the first 10 minutes we were there the elevator got stuck with someone yelling from it right outside our room. Room was very small.

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.
