    The water pressure in this hotel was out of this world. It felt like I was being power washed when I took a shower. Also, the hot water was HOT. You didn't have to wait for it to get hot. I loved it.

    I don’t usually give reviews. But, after Amir charged me for a room that wasn’t even mine. Even after I explained 3 times that the person with the same last name was my sister. He still gave me a wrong room. Then I came to front desk to get send to the right room with lake view. They told me I didn’t reserved lake view. I had to show proof. I understand mistakes happens. But this little mistake can ruin someone’s weekend. Specifically if they hold $491 dollars on your credit card just because they made a mistake.

    The lake was nice. Very clean and updated facilities. It was great. The Rio area was a nice place to be. Staff was great. The breakfast was way over priced and you could tell many things were frozen and not made fresh. The staff was great from check in to the bar and the restaurant and the cleaning service. I really despised being a paying overnight guest and still had to pay to park. I would have rather that fee been incorporated into the room rate to begin with, I never would have thought twice about it..

This was my first time ever in my 36 years visiting Gaithersburg MD and I absolutely loved everything about it and in it. This Hotel is a 10/10 in my eyes. My wife and I are traveling all over the U.S trying different cities and hotels and this hotel is our 14th Hotel Experience by Far the best Hotel so far we’ve experienced. The staff made our stay THE BEST! From when first arrived at 1 a.m you would’ve thought it was 1 p.m the type of energy we was greeted with and they way they made our stay so easy and relaxing. I don’t have any negative thoughts at all of this place.

    I was surprised to find that this hotel charged extra for Wi-Fi. So far, every other hotel I’ve stayed at has included Wi-Fi, so this was unexpected. What was most frustrating is that we were not informed about this charge during check-in. If there are additional fees, guests should be clearly told upfront. Better communication would have avoided this issue

    I was happy with the stay but i booked almost a month in advance and also requested early check in@3pm. When we arrived around 5, our room was still not ready. They ended up putting us in another room with a smaller bed. I had reserved a king so that was kind of annoying. didn’t like that the room wasn’t ready even after the regular check in time. I feel like I should get some of my money back because I did not have the stay that I reserved.

    We live 15 minutes away, but we stay at hotels when we can because of its ammenities like the gym and indoor pool and just be comfortable away from home and it was our first time to stay in this hotel and my 8 year old son said from now on we will be staying here because of how nice the staff are from our check-in to the restaurant led by Aligda and staff like Eddy, Yenci and Kady. These people are very welcoming, their smile on their face were so refreshing and you can feel that they love their job and the people they talk to. Our room had the best view of the lake and very comfortable. Love love love this hotel. We will be back more often even without an indoor pool. Thank you!

    This hotel is situated in a very nice location of Rio lake front. There’s a walking path around the lake right outside the front door. Had a beautiful lake view from my 8th floor room. Shops, restaurants and activities are just a walk away. Room was clean with friendly, responsive staff (Janet checked me in). I asked for extra towels when I checked in and housekeeping was knocking at the door a minute after I got into my room. The only downside was the signage for the hotel is TINY and the hotel is tucked away behind 2 other tall(er) buildings. Otherwise, I will definitely choose this hotel when I’m in the area again.
