American Inn of Bethesda Reviews

Hotel doesn’t have parking. Service is awful. No breakfast only snacks.

Lobby is small and nothing special, and parking is problematic, with a few tight spaces most drivers have to back into. If they run out spaces, you have park in a nearby public lot. But the rooms themselves are excellent, clean and well-furnished, and it's located a short walk from some of the city's best restaurants, so overall this is a terrific bargain in the heart of downtown Bethesda.

Rooms air was broken and smelled of old dirty clothes outdated needs to be remodeled

This place was disgusting (see attached pictures)! Dirty rugs, run down room, keys that never worked (at least 13X). Tried to get my money back to go to another place and Trip.com would only request a different room., we had 3! Everyone was complaining . Trip.com should be ashamed to represent this place! YUK!

I like this hotel - mostly cus it’s a diamond in the rough - it’s pretty affordable considering Especially due to its convenient location and bonus free parking (note as long as you get there more than likely early enough - for me I was always able to get a spot But I have a tiny car and woudl come in by 8pm or so each night I stayed - I did notice the spots were all taken when I’d leave early a.m) The rooms are not fancy and there’s a decent amount of noise through walls etc) - but for a working bachelor like me that’s always looking to live on a budget - the hotel is a sweet spot for me. It’s only 1 mile from work and I can get for around $75 a night all included - which beats out other little issues I’ve noticed. Oh and I find the beds to be quite comfortable

Good value for money. The Mexican restaurant on the first floor of the hotel is superb

It just wasn’t what I thought it would be. Breakfast is bagged. Wallpaper coming off the wall. Hole in the bathroom where a towel bar was suppose to be because they left it on the floor, had to constantly get my keycard reset, heater didn’t work in the room. However, you get what you pay for the area felt safe and most of the staff was friendly and helpful.

The parking is VERY LIMITED, fortunately there are some public parking lots & garages very close.

Staff is very pleasant. All is clean and neat. Breakfast was adequate with fruit, juice, muffin, and yogurt. Requests were addressed quickly. I look forward to staying there again.

Very dated and dirty facility. Smelled musty as soon as I entered the lobby. My room smelled even worse. The condition of my room was notorious. The window blinds didn’t work, the nasty curtains are falling down, and the carpet was filthy and looks like it’s never been replaced. The facility has a very limited number of parking spaces, but none were available and I had to pay for nearby public parking. The only good thing I can say about this hotel is it is located to many restaurants and bars. Although my room was only $104 for the night, I will never stay here again.

Old, outdated hotel. They advertise continental breakfast. Breakfast was given to us in a brown paper bag. Not many parking spaces available

I was a woman traveling alone and I had a lovely visit to an unfamiliar town while I stayed here.

I picked this hotel because it offered parking - for a fee. We checked in, paid for parking, received the pass. Went to get food. We came back and there were no empty spots. I asked where we were supposed to park, she told me across the street, but we had to move the car by 7am or it would be ticketed or towed. I told her we had paid for parking, she said the day guy had oversold their spots. She let me stay in employee parking, but it was very inconvenient.

While the two women at the reception desk the day I arrived were excellent in helping resolve an issue, when I asked for a late check-out, the person at the reception desk (a man) was what I would call rude when he told me, THREE times, that I absolutely had to be out by the time he was allowing me to check out. His behavior will certainly not encourage me to return any time soon and he could certainly benefit from some training in customer relations.
