Courtyard

I stayed here when the earthquake hit and the staff was competent and friendly. They even gave out free drinks to all of us while we waited until it was safe to go back inside. They were doing some construction in the lobby but should be done very soon. Fitness facility and pool were top notch. And the hotel was just seconds away from I-395. Only downside was the $14 nightly parking fee.

Positives: Convenient location to DC, just seconds from I-395 and excellent fitness facility.

Negatives: Construction in hotel lobby. Parking is expensive.

The room and bathroom were newly renovated with nice linens, lots of pillows and good mattress. The BR has granite counter top, wall mounted hairdryer. There is a separate counter for the coffee pot and ice bucket. The room had a mini fridge. I didn't check closely enough as to the breakfast being complementary. It was not so I was surprised with the $13.25 price tag for cold food in the buffet servers. The parking is in a separate garage.

Positives: Bed, linens and lots of pillows.

Negatives: $13.25 for breakfast buffet.

It was great. The beds are comfortable and the amenities are excellent. The staff was outstanding, they made sure we had all of the information we needed to catch the bus, shuttle, metro, super shuttle<BR/>and transportation we needed to get to where we wanted to go. And the fresh baked, warm cookies at 6:00 pm were an unexpected bonus.

Positives: The staff was very helpful and the breakfast buffet was great.

Negatives: Can't think of anything.

On each of two nights I stayed, cars parked in the paid and "secured" hotel's garage were broken into. My car was one of those broken into during the first night.

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: Unsafe location, poor heating in rooms.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 13 Jan 2008 rated 1 out of 10.

I would avoid this hotel. It is not truly Pentagon South nor Old Town. This hotel should be avoided.

Positives: Room.

Negatives: Location and poor staff attitude.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 03 Jan 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

This was a good location for my son and me to stay. We were close to DC and all the local attractions but out of the way of the really heavy traffic that is so common in that area.

Positives: There was an on site parking garage that kept your car out of the weather.

Negatives: The heating system did not seem to work properly.
