Days Inn Arlington, Pentagon

Relatively convenient to the subway (metro), some amenities provided (not everything though), staff is cool.

Worked out great for proximity to Reagan airport and was actually quiet late at night.

When we arrived everything seemed fine but then we were only in the room long enough to put our bags in the room then we left for 9 hrs...at 4 in the morning after only a few hours of sleep i discovered that there were rather large roaches in our room one even crawled on my boyfriend while he was sleeping...we showered shook out our bags and checked out at 5 am and drove home...the worse part was that we saw several more roaches outside our room

NEEDS A GOOD SCRUBBING ESPECIALLY THE BATHROOM. BLACK MOLD GROWING IN TUB AREA. THE CAULKING IS PEELING OFF FROM AROUND TUB AND IT WAS BLACK. I WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN. WILL PAY MORE TO STAY IN A CLEAN HOTEL!!!

Besides being old and warn-down, which I can usually tolerate, the road and neighbor noise is intolerable. This is a Motel, not a Hotel, so that is the first bit of false advertising. I barely slept the 4 nights I was there, constantly jolted awake by car horns, loud engines, or other patrons walking along the balcony that connects this Motel's rooms. Thankfully it was unseasonably warm, as access to the laundry/ "fitness" room or elevators are only accessible by walking outside (oh yes, and only 1 elevator works). One night a homeless person kept tapping on mine and my neighbors' windows, and he kept at it for a couple hours (I was just about to call the police), so as you could imagine I did not feel very secure during my stay. No shuttle service to the airport or the Metro, you will need to take a bus to the nearest Metro station (there is a bus stop right outside the hotel that runs pretty frequently, but you don't want to drag your luggage onto it). Also the "fitness" room is a joke, offering only a couple non-powered stair-steppers and 1 elliptical machine. No weights or bench to be found, only a poster for an all-in-one strength training machine that was nowhere to be found. The washer and dryer worked, but there is no soap offered (thankfully I brought my own pack of travel detergent). Inside the room, the light by the beds did not work. Other than all of that, my room was kept clean by housekeeping, and the WiFi connection was actually pretty good until the morning of my departure. I never tried the TV as I streamed movies from my Netflix account on my laptop instead. Some decent restaurants are within walking distance. Despite these minor pluses, this is definitely not recommended, spend a few extra bucks and stay in DC proper, or try Cyrstal City (easy access to DC via the Metro).

This is an older hotel and shows some wear but overall was clean. The staff was friendly and the location is convienient , a 10 minute drive to downtown DC. If you just need a place to sleep and bath in between sight seeing this is your place.

It wasn't more than a bad and a shower experience. The unit is well past a need for rennovation. The shower was moldy, the ceiling vents were clogged with dust. The elevator broke down on our second day and was although large rated to hold only 4 individuals. No one spoke to guests as they moved around the facility. Access to the laundry area was only through the exercise room. Interesting! This is the worst Days Inn I have ever stayed at. If you are looking for just a bed and a moldy shower, this may be a value.

Best rib eye steak at little diner about 2 blocks away! open 24 hours....name was ed and wilma or something like that

It was clean and quiet. The carpet, bedspread, and decor were old, but not bad. the room was warm and damp when I came in, but the AC quickly made it better. In an hour it was a refrigerator which was nice. The shower had low water pressure, but it was passable. The room had a large refrigerator and a medium microwave oven. The TV worked well. Internet wi-fi was slow but it worked; they warned me that my room was far away from the wi-fi transmitter, though. Some rooms probably had a better reception. The room was also very large. the neighborhood had a lot of restaurants and gas stations. There were two large drug stores in walking range. One BB&T bank next door. Safe neighborhood. There was a bus route on the same street if you need to get onto public trans. Quick check-in and out. check out was 11:00 AM. That's all I can think of!

I could tell when I pulled in the parking lot that this was going to be interesting. I checked into the room and when I walked in, the room looked like a scene taken from some 1980's "B" rated horror flick. The wall paper was peeling off the walls, the mirror had some sort of bodily fluid spatter all over it and the bathroom was a kin to a prison. I immediately checked out and went to another hotel.
