Ramada Limited, Silver Spring

I was coming from out of the area and went with the Ramada name BUT when we arrived late at night to the hotel you could tell right away this was in a bad and unsafe neighborhood. There was no parking left in their very small parking lot and when asked where to park they suggested I go to the next block over and see if I can park at the 7/11-that was an experience in itself. No one spoke english and it was pretty frightful. Basically parking at the 7/11 was a no go. SO I went back to the hotel and asked where they suggest I park, when I saw the very thick bullet proof glass I decided we could not stay here. The man behind the glass wouldn't even open it to speak with us-that tells you something right there. Their suggestion was for us to go find a meter to park at. I almost started laughing, at midnight in the wrong neighborhood I didn't think finding a meter and walking back to the hotel was the smartest or safest idea. Knowing that all other hotels in the area were booked I STILL opted to not stay at this hotel. Sleeping in the Courtyard Marriott lobby sounded better and safer to us then this hotel. SO we left and they were not to charge us for the room. I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel, it is in a unsafe area and the customer service was horrible.
