We travelled to DC with a group of high school students. We searched around and decided to stay at the Channel Inn, because of cost. We talked to the person in charge of group reservations and made a reservation for the rooms. We expected the hotel to be out dated and we were prepared for that. When we arrived at DC, they had misplaced our reservation, so we didn't have a block of rooms as promised. They had also promised a group rate of $105 per room, but then said they did no such thing and we would have to pay $129 per room ike everyone else (another person at the counter was having the same issue). The hotel was not just outdated.......... it was FILTHY! Additionally, the hotel's swimming pool and fitness center is in another building that is dirty and a 10 minute walk away from the hotel! I found us a new hotel and we moved all of us after 2 days. Three days at the new hotel (cleaner and much nicer) cost less than two days at Channel Inn. The location by the water is nice, but not worth all of the other hassles. This hotel needs to fire everyone (because they are mean, rude, lazy, etc.) and start from scratch with ALL of the staff. Some customer service and cleaning plus a few updates and the hotel could be nice; BUT IT IS NOT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
