All the speculation that her hotel door lock didn’t work.

From the story, it seems just as likely that he rushed her after she moved her car and re-entered the room. (This is also speculation.)

Relisha Rudd was living at DC General, and there has never been proof that she was killed (though I think she was) or where. The person who took her apparently killed his wife, who was found dead at a hotel in pg county. The high schooler was killed at the Hilton garden inn in Noma, about 2 miles from the ivy city hotel.

I don’t know what they were going for when they “rebranded” that hotel but it is super sketchy. Lots of drugs and prostitution happen there.

+1. They have used much of Ward 5 as a dumping ground, and especially NY Ave. The several businesses in Ivy City (including a Planet Fitness, The Lane (wonderful indoor play area for small children), Mom's, Target, a sports bar, etc.) are great additions and are used frequently by many nearby residents. However, the motels along this stretch are well known to residents in the area to be shelters that the city rents out for the unhoused. I can see how a young woman from Virginia wouldn't have known that.

This story is incredibly sad. The posters on here posting about scary men in cleveland park and blaming this on Matt Frumin (?) are even sadder

Hotel reviews are racist and inequitable.

You are a joke.

I'm so sick of this. Why are these sociopaths being released to harm others?

This is what you matched and chanted and, most importantly, voted for. Embrace it.

Somebody did.

Huh? Didn't vote or chant for any of this.

If you voted for Matt Frumin, then you voted for this. Both his primary and general election opponents wanted pause/reform of the poorly implemented housing voucher program that is destroying the apartment buildings along Connecticut Ave. The buildings are now filled with many unhinged homeless people and there have been too many stabbing, shootings, drug use, to count. Enjoy those bike lanes, though.

I had no idea about this. I was parking along Conn. Ave yesterday to go to the zoo. A man, who appeared high was hovering right next to the passenger side of my car. My kid declared his “sus” and wouldn’t get out of the car until he left.

We used to walk down with our kids to go to the Cleveland Park restaurants on Saturday nights. It was OK during daylight. But too many sketchy men smoking marijuana after dark. We either do take out or delivery now. Sad.

It's unfortunate, but if you don't live this way you are asking for trouble. You can see it up thread with people not coming out and saying it, but essentially blaming that poor young woman for staying at the hotel she did for being a victim. If you'd gotten out of your car and things had gone sideways, they'd be on this board saying the same thing about you.

Sometimes you need to listen to your gut.

Originally, but living in Harrisonburg. There’s so much development and change in DC, I can see how family in Arlington wouldn’t be keeping track of which neighborhoods are relatively safe and which aren’t. The hotel website is misleading about the neighborhood at best

I do agree that the pictures are misleading, but I grew up in MD and live in Arlington now. Rt 50 has been sketchy my entire life. If you live in VA and approach the city from the east, you would be driving this stretch. I don’t feel comfortable driving there and would never stay in a hotel along there. Had some friends coming to visit DC from a college and they’d booked along there, and told them to find another area. It’s very, very sad.
