DISGUSTING
All I can say is that hotel was disgusting, run down, smelly, and not a safe place. From the ripped up carpet, stained walls counters and ceilings, random people in the hallways trying to lure you into their rooms, and smell of dog piss this stay was honestly the worst Ive ever done.

This hotel is very run down, dirty and there was a noisy party down the hall. I like trains, so I didn’t mind the frequent passing, but they are also noisy if that bothers you. The plumbing was backwards, so the hot water was on the right in both the sink and bathtub. The bottle of shower gel was empty. The plus was a king sized bed in a huge room! And it was very convenient to the USS Potomac cruise.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The property is old and not in very good condition, but it's clean. However, it's right next to the train tracks, so you will hear trains going by and blowing their whistles regularly.

Amtrak runs in front of the property, it's quite noisy, esp. if your room is at that same side. The cleanliness is far from satisfactory. when check-in, it's surprise that they hae my booking but told me that they only have one 'room' left with is no window and no air conditioin. The only thing they could 'compenste' is to waive my damage deposit!
