My favorite place to stay in DC area.
I normally do not take the time to write reviews, however, I have stayed here at AC Hotel Bethesda, before and had a wonderful time, which is why I came back when I visited Bethesda again. This time, was even better. The atmosphere is amazing, it’s very comfortable inside the lobby. After walking all day in DC it’s very nice to come sit and cool down in there. The room was as amazing as I remembered. The front desk staff I checked in with were all so kind and friendly, and made sure I had every thing I needed and wanted. I also had the best long island iced tea I probably will ever have at their bar. I will definitely be staying here again for my next weekend in the DC area. Thank you AC hotels!!!

Clean and in good condition, nice staff, though the room feels like it belongs in Blade Runner 2049 - very industrial.
