6/10 Okay

"The internet was good. I didn't get to use the pool (because of the cold)"

Fairfield Inn by Marriott Washington D.C.

2/10 Terrible

"My stay here was absolutely terrible. Just terrible. I left and got another hotel within 10 minutes of arriving. The room was completely disgusting. The wallpaper was peeling, there were clearly identifiable blood and excrement stains on the wall next to the toilet, the furniture was damaged and the chair was stained. The hotel is pretty run down. This was not up to my standards. I do appreciate management allowing me to check in early, that was very kind, but the room, and hotel in general was just plain bad."
