Issue with Attitude of Manager

Room was adequate...we just needed a place to crash after sight seeing in DC.
My son's retainer was mistakenly thrown out by the maid (it was wrapped in a paper towel on the night stand). I agree that it was partly our fault..but I also think the hotel has some resonsibilty in it also. I had made the beds & put our soda cans in the trash before we left (former chambermaid). So the room was not messy when she came in. The paper towel had upper & lower retainers so it had some weight to it. It was a mistake on both our parts. I now have to pay $ for new retainers & the hotel gets to wash their hands of it.
Choice Hotels only files the complaint..no follow up on their end as the hotels are all franchised.
So hopefully you won't have any issues...don't leave anything out!!!
My stay was pleasant...just the aftermath of the unfortunate situation is disheartening.
I never met the manager...only spoke to him on the phone & got the obligatory "apology" email from him.
Pleased with stay and price

I was originally booked into a fancier brand-name hotel for my business stay,
but shopped around a bit and found that the Comfort Inn Ballston was only 3 blocks further away from the subway and only 2/3 the price. The staff were helpful and friendly,
and there was a very nice free breakfast that included waffles you can make yourself.
In addition, the room was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel also had free wireless in the room, and this was a big plus for me. If possible you should ask to stay on the side of the hotel opposite the main road (N. Glebe Road).
I would definitely stay here again and would recommend the hotel to any of my colleagues.
Great Stay

Great hotel, great beds, bathroom a little small and outdated. Great breakfasts. The hotel had free parking, we parked our truck and took the metro which was a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Variety of restaurants close to the metro. Room was clean. There were lots of schools kids staying at the hotel at the time but we didn't hear much noise, the walls are thick. We would stay here again next time we are in DC.
Good place to stay

This hotel definately needed a little modernization, but was a good pick overall. 10 min walk to the Metro and many food and shopping choices in area. Good price for a very safe college neighborhood
