Gateway Inn & Suites

Woke up the first morning and saw deer running around outside my window. Cool.
Nice basic rooms with the real value being in the cost per night for a place located this close to the National Mall area. The drive is only maybe 10 minutes away. You’re located on base so it’s nice safe and secure. The rooms have everything you need. If you’re familiar with military lodging, this meets the standard so you know what to expect. The buildings are older and one can see an interior remodel or upgrade coming down the road.
I had trouble connecting to the room wifi during my stay. I don’t think the connection wanted to cooperate with Apple’s operating system. Visits and calls to the front desk didn’t help. I don’t know if it’s a common problem or just that isolated time. Could be something you want to ask about as you make reservations.
The room I was in had a small kitchen area with full size refrigerator, sink, electric stove top and of course microwave oven.
There aren’t many options for meals on base so you’ll have to venture out or stock up at the Commissary which is like a half mile down the road.
The area is very quiet and dark at night. Reagan Airport is across the Potomac River so you might hear aircraft taking off in the morning. But you should be getting your butt up anyway. There are things to do and places to see.
