American Inn of Bethesda

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Rooms air was broken and smelled of old dirty clothes outdated needs to be remodeled

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
