Be warned that this part of town is SKETCHY. That includes the parking lot for this hotel. That aside, this hotel was excellent. The service was friendly and the hotel was very clean. It is a little run down and has stains on the ceilings, carpets, and sheets. However, everything was clean, comfortable, and functioning. Make sure to ask for extra towels when you check-in, because they only provide 2. We would not go out of our way to stay in New Carrolten for a D.C. trip again, simply because we did not feel safe. However, this hotel is a short drive from the metro, which then gets you to the Capitol building in less than 15 minutes.
