The AC wasn't working for a couple of days. Even after the management told us a technician was taking care of the problem it took complaints from several guests before anything was done. No comp no changing rooms. The ceiling was peeling, no ventilation in the bathroom, some of the staff was rude, will not go back or recommend.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Palm sized roaches outside right at the entrance, rats scurrying from the cafe outside across my feet, a roach immediately upon entering our room, the room smelled like chlorine and bleach as soon as we walked in and was incredibly humid. I’m from Jersey, I’m used to NYC rats and their audacity but this was on a whole new level. The amenities had no rhyme or reason to them. Website said the bar closes at 12 or 1 am on Friday or Saturday nights and both nights we were there it was closed by 11 and 7 pm respectively. And the pool was closed by 8 pm. So if you don’t plan on staying at the hotel all day to get a chance to catch any of the amenities, don’t even bother booking this property. And the water had absolutely no pressure in the shower. The sink had better water pressure and would splash all over me every time I turned it on, meanwhile the shower trickled out like it had a weak prostate. Further, the Expedia price quoted me at $423 for our weekend stay “including taxes and fees” but when I paid when I got there they charged me $481 claiming “property fees”. The signs outside and on the website say $50 for parking but then they’ll tell you it’s actually $65. So not only was this property feces covered in glitter, they make you pay as if it’s a luxury stay.

Good hotel with decent rooms and a nice outside area when you want to escape the city. Not in the heart of Washington but easily accessible. Nice restaurant area too. The only snag was the usual "extras" at check in

Expedia over charged me excessively with the nightly price of >$600 per night when the room is only like a regular hostel room. I understand this is a dynamic pricing and the platform such the blood of those who need to travel. When I checked the price just use google, the rooms only cost <$200 for computable period.

It was ok, a few adjustments could improve.

No washcloths. No microwaves. Security had an attitude & was unhelpful. For almost 250 a night, i expected those things to be up to par. I saw more rats outside, around the property over 2 days than probably my prior year before where i live. Check in front front desk was polite & professional. The relief for overnight, not so much. Restaurant was overpriced. Bed was comfortable, accessible gym & patio was good to have access to.

My first night I was in a 4 bed dorm room. I reserved a bottle bed and notified the Hotel I would be checking it late because my flight didn’t get in until after 11 pm. I was checked in and went directly to my assigned bed. Being exhausted and not wanting to disturb anyone I went to bed. When I awoke I found I had been sleeping on bloody and filthy sheets! I reported this to the front desk and they didn’t seem concerned at all. It was disgusting! My second night I paid for a king room and did at least have clean bedding. I checked out the following morning. Amenities are basically non-existent. No vending machines, no coffee maker in the king room, no GLASSES are placed in the rooms and you must request a towel for the dorm room. No complimentary coffee or anything available in the morning or anytime for that matter. Was not the most enjoyable stay. I came to support veterans healthcare at the Capitol so I was surprised a hotel so close to the Capitol to be so mediocre. No shuttle service available to and from airport.

The front desk staff has such a bad attitude. We had to go downstairs to get towels at 10:00 pm because we arrived late because of the very long drive. We went back down to ask for rags and with a very rude face the front desk associate said "i gave you what I have". I did see another lady with a towel on the elevator so they may require you to go downstairs for that but I still find that super inconvenient but disregard that complaint if that is what they require for the customers. The worst part was Our AC was set at 69 but it was close to 87 degrees. The AC is probably broke in room 400. It was so incredibly hot. 🙁 So glad to be home to finally get some sleep. My whole family was up all night. It was rough. The facility downstairs was such a nice vibe! The outdoor and indoor seating was great and close to many different stores, shops, and restaurants

We had a lovely stay! I will definitely return to the Generator Hotel. The room was clean with a nice view. We enjoyed the cafe and restaurant in the lobby, and the pool and outdoor seating area is wonderful. The hotel location was perfect and in a safe area. The only negative was a lack of TV channels (especially for the kids).
