Top hotels in Bethesda Downtown
Hilton Garden Inn Bethesda Downtown
"Loved this hotel! Close to metro and bus lines, clean and comfortable rooms, and helpful staff. There is a laundry room but they were out of soap powder. Having the microwave and refrigerator in room was important, but would have appreciated some plates and tableware. But it was an excellent value ..."

The Bethesdan Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
"The building was under massive construction and should definitively not be open while it happens. Also the exercise equipment was not all functional and the pool attendant was rude."
