Travel tips
Because Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport is about 75 km away, travelers should plan for a significant drive if flying in, making a personal vehicle or rental car the most practical way to get around. The dense cluster of restaurants directly around the hotel, including RibCrib BBQ & Grill and Western Sizzlin Steak House just steps away, means guests can easily walk to meals without needing to move their car. Given mixed reviews on room condition and reports of a tripping hazard from luggage stands near doorways, guests may want to be mindful when navigating room entryways, especially at night.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed but generally favorable overall. Many reviewers praise the friendly staff, generous complimentary breakfast, clean bathrooms, and convenient location near restaurants and attractions. However, a notable subset of reviews raises serious cleanliness concerns, including mentions of pests, dirty bedding, and rooms needing updates, as well as at least one complaint about a safety hazard from furniture placement near a room entrance and an outdated pool area. Location consistently emerges as a standout positive theme across reviews.
