“Good choice in Retrospect.”
We took the metro to silver spring station and walked tot he hotel, thinking it was going to be a short walk. Turns out it was almost 15 mins, and mostly uphill, with the luggages. I was already starting to regret getting the place. However, the hotel turned out to be a pretty nice place to stay at. The rooms were comfy and clean, and the staff was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was good and filling, though the varieties could increase or change more often. Somehow when we were there, the AC system in our 6th floor hall didn't work, so it was really warm once we stepped out of the room. The room AC was fine, and we enjoyed the room very much. And we didn't have to walk back to the station, because there's a shuttle from right outside the hotel to the train station! Unfortunately, it only runs from 7am till 7pm. Great for traveler's on a budget (esp in DC), and wanting to stay in a safe neighborhood.
