We had experienced two major issues then the phone did not work so I could not call the front desk. First the window closer did not work and the window started slamming starting at 1:00am. It finally stuck open in the morning and left cold air in the rest if the stay. The phone did not work so I could not inform them. Then I went to take a hot shower to wake up and the shower knob broke off and I wasn’t able to shower. I have photos of both

If could give a zero I would. The place had a live roach, was filthy, had dirty spots on the carpet, the sink was broken, there was mold, it was smelly and the receptionist hung up the phone on me when I expressed my concerns. This was the worst place ever! I had to leave and find another place.

🚨 Complaint Summary: American Inn of Bethesda (Room 417) 🚨 To: Hotel Management & Corporate Customer Relations The stay at the American Inn of Bethesda (Nov 22, 2025) was severely over-promised and poor value, comparable to a budget chain, not its 3.3-star rating. Corporate intervention is urgently needed for systemic maintenance and staff training failures. Key Room Conditions (Room 417) - Unacceptable Hygiene/Maintenance: * Critical Sanitary Failure: Visible blood splatter on the walls. * Clogged bathroom vanity sink. * Missing main towel bar and face towels. * Visible damage to cabinet doors. Service Failures - Rude & Unhelpful Staff: * Staff demeanor was rude, dismissive, and inappropriate for hospitality. * Parking Incident: Staff offered a rude, unhelpful response regarding the $20 daily parking fee, providing zero proactive assistance (e.g., directing to known free public parking). The only "solution" offered was a refund if no spot was found upon return. Conclusion: The experience combined unacceptable room conditions with substandard, rude service. Expect immediate corporate review and action plan for maintenance and training deficiencies. Contact: Nic444hols@gmail.com

Staff tried their level best. Bed sheet had spots of filthy stuff They said they don’t have any other room Staff came with a bed sheet to change, they didn’t had a blanket so they gave me 3 bed sheets, I was working on laptop suddenly a cockroach popped up!! The toilet flash worked half way, you need to try multiple times. I was there just for a night, I just passed the night somehow, never ever.
