Econo Lodge

Loved the location near the metro.
Appreciated access to coffee on arrival!

I called the hotel directly to make inquiries about reservations and rates. The staff was very helpful and pleasant to talk with. My room number was actually assigned when I registered over the phone. There appeared to be some renovations going on a the hotel. Actually our room appeared to have been recently renovated. I read some reviews online prior to registering at the hotel. Some were bad and some were good as to the condition of the hotel.

There still needs to be some painting and repairs done to the exterior of the building. But, we were quite satisfied with our stay and would stay there again.

You don't go to Washington DC to sit in a hotel room, so finding one that is convenient and affordable is good! This hotel is about the closest one I've found to a Metro stop, offers easy freeway access and free parking. I've stayed here several times and really wouldn't consider any place else. It's not brand new and doesn't offer everything, but it's clean, the staff is nice and the breakfast perfectly adequate.

Everything at the hotel was very good, from the room to the staff to the breakfast. The bed was excellent. You can walk to the Metro. A little dicey to get in and out of during rush hour. It's right at a busy intersection but close to a residential area and bike path.

the location was very nice, appeared to be in a good neighborhood and close to the metro. The room and bathroom was clean and updated.

Rented a hotel room for 3 nights when visiting Washington DC. You can walk to the metro station from this hotel via a jogging track and it was safe to do so even late in the night. The area feels pretty safe. Usual breakfast fare and it was good. Friendly staff/clean hotel. plenty of parking and free wifi as well. Overall, a good experience.

this is a wonderful hotel stayed for one night room is small but has the usual amenities free wi-fi great location and price VERY clean felt safe in the neighborhood great for a quick visit to the DC area

We paid the prepaid rate and got a very good deal. While the rooms are small and the bathroom space is tiny, they make good use of the space. You likely won't be spending much time in the room anyway. Housekeeping did an amazing job of cleaning our room. The bathroom was spotless. We stayed in hotels that were supposedly nicer on our long drive there that had stained carpet and dirty tiles in the bathroom. Not here. They served Starbucks coffee in the mornings with the standard bagels, muffins and cereals, so no complaints there. Parking is a little tight and there is no pool. But it is close to plenty of cheaper places to eat and they provide a number for Dominoes Pizza to deliver. You can't beat the location right next to a bike/walking path that leads to the metro station. We would definitely stay here again.

If you're looking for a hotel in the Washington DC area, consider your needs. If you priority is easy access to the metro, a reasonable rate, free parking, a clean comfortable room and a decent breakfast, than the Econo Lodge Metro is for you. When considering other properties in this prices range, most of them offer a shuttle to the metro, which in some cases, runs only every half hour and can only take 6 at a time. I didn't really want to deal with having to wait for a shuttle to or from the metro. Being walking distance to the metro was ideal and top of my list. The hotel also provides a continental breakfast which gave us a good start to our day of sightseeing. Our room had a refrigerator and microwave, which we used to make our own suppers when we returned from Washington. And the cost of our stay was very good value for the area, especially the AAA/CAA rate if you're a member. I must also say, that this felt like a very safe area, even when returning later at night after a baseball game. This hotel best met our needs for this trip and I couldn't have asked for a better fit.

I have to say that I liked this place. It is conveniently located close enough to the National Mall you can get there quickly. We drove in from Tennessee and still had time to go to Arlington National Cemetery in the afternoon after eating and checking in.

WiFi worked pretty good, just a little slow, but that's the way most places are.

Breakfast was included and was your typical continental type. But did have Starbucks Coffee. I would definitely stay here again.
