Days Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 06 Jul 2011 rated 3 out of 10.

Would not recommend staying in this hotel. Not convenient to Metro, and more importantly there were problems with room and none of the staff had a service-oriented attitude.

Positives: That I'm no longer there. The rms above lobby facing pool good.

Negatives: Rooms facing east cramped, needed cleaning and repairs.

Well situated to metro and would stay again due to this convenience. Bathroom was clean and room was made up each day. No trash in the walkways and security guard visible at night.

Positives: Convenience to metro and complimentary one way ride to metro Good security and quiet.

Negatives: Desk attendants were OK but not welcoming. Maybe its a "culture" thing. Friendlies person was the maid. Hotel is adequate.

For $71.00 a night I would highly recommend this hotel, it was very clean, staff was very accommodating, breakfast was good. I have paid alot more per night and received a lot less.

Positives: Staff was very friendly and very helpful.

Negatives: We liked everything.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. One star is generous to a fault. When there was no Internet connection in my room, they sent a tech, but I ended up educating him about his router setup, not the other way around. Still never got a decent connection. I also got stuck on the elevator with my family once. We also only got 4 towels in the room on our last night, though I repeatedly asked for 4 (and they knew we had 4 people). The breakfast is just muffins, waffles, cereal and juice fine for me when alone, but I was told it was more than this when we called prior to booking. The place was *reasonably* clean, but very old and dingy...and not in a safe neighborhood. Getting a shuttle to Metro was easy, but they want $5 to pick up anybody...UGH...I could go on, but I don't have the energy. I complained at the hotel, but the owner was never there.

Positives: I only had to stay 5 nights.

Negatives: Lack of Internet, getting stuck on elevator, no extra towels/sheets, food different than advertised.

If we ever return to DC we would consider this location again. The personnel is very friendly and the housekeepers very competent.

Positives: Very nicely updated older motel.

Negatives: Continental breakfast was limited.

At first we thought we were not going to like this hotel, but as the days went on the kindness of the family that owned the hotel and the willingness to accommodate us went beyond our expectations, very nice after all :)

Positives: We liked the friendly attitude and the willingness to take us to the metro station at a moments notice. Very nice!

Negatives: Just minor things such as it needed some upgrades in the room,and needed to call when using Wi-Fi.

Overall, an OK experience though you can nit-picky with a few things like quality of beds, etc. but not too bad for a night's stay.

Positives: Good location.

Negatives: Some of the reception staff is not very friendly.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 19 Jun 2010 rated 4 out of 10.

The TV was very poor quality and many channels had a loud buzzing noise. The breakfast was OK. Many of the halls and the elevator were dingy and could use a good wipe down. The rooms are very small and smell dingy as well as looked old and could use some updating.

Positives: It has a nice swimming pool.

Negatives: Dirty.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 23 May 2010 rated 3 out of 10.

The swimming pool is not available for use since it is locked with a padlock. The building was being renovated, so waking in the morning to the sound of walls being knocked down and workers chiseling concrete was not enjoyable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The shower would have been great if I was less than 5 feet tall. The cable had a very poor picture that was grainy on most channels. The internet wasn't even accessible in my room until the 3rd day. When I could finally connect it was verrry slow to the point of being almost worse than useless.

Positives: Close to the interstate.

Negatives: Swimming pool locked and not available, Building being renovated, horrible shower.

The hotel is close to the metro, which is good for visiting DC. It is an old place and could really use some updating. The breakfast was ok. Nothing fancy, but it filled the void. The staff was extremely helpful any time we needed anything or had any questions. They recommended great local restaurants.

Positives: The staff was great. Very helpful.

Negatives: Old. Needs to fixed up.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 27 Apr 2010 rated 4 out of 10.

The hotel is so old, tired and shabby that it feels as though it could just fall down at any moment. The walls are super thin and flimsy, as are the doors and our hotel door was unaligned from the frame, causing obvious gaps between the door frame and the door. This felt particularly unsafe since the hotel room doors are exterior to the parking lot, rather than being interior doors. Since there are two new affordable hotels being built directly across the street, I'd wager it won't be long before the hotel either completely remodels or shuts its doors.

Positives: The front desk staff was very nice & helpful.

Negatives: I did not like the fact that the entrance to the rooms were exterior doors and were off the frame.

Free internet, reasonable rates and a waffles for breakfast and good food at the restaurant.

Positives: Easy to access free internet.

Negatives: TV was fuzzy when it rained.

I very much enjoyed staying here. As I pulled up to the entrance, I wasn't sure how it would be. The outside was in poor condition, but I noticed construction was underway. That made me thinks that the noise would be unbearable, but was understanding due to the run down condition of the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. The room was cozy, comfortable, and clean, which is what I value most in a hotel. I did not hear any of the renovations outside. It was a pleasant experience, and I would return.

Positives: Room was very clean and comfortable.

Negatives: Outside was run down and construction was underway.

Nice, helpful staff, free internet, a pool, the possibility to do your laundry, a good breakfast. All of this you get under the roof. In the evening there's also pizza or chicken to get there. Public transport just 10 min walking-distance so we were absolutely satisfied with the location. One thing was somewhat less, not all the rooms had a fridge but then again not everybody needs one. All in all, good value for money.

Positives: Public transport closeby (10min walk) and possibility to do your laundry.

Negatives: No fridge.

Sheets didn't fit on the beds and kept on falling off. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Positives: We like the restaurant in the hotel.

Negatives: It was pretty old and needed updates. No access to the metro.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 11 Apr 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

Room too crowded. Linen not changed until asked.

Positives: Close to DC.

Negatives: Cleanness.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 14 Mar 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

We paid for 2 queen sized beds, and the hotel room that we got only had 2 full beds. It is certainly not walking distance to the metro; you must have a car to drive to it. There was a shuttle service but there was no information about it. Hotel said there was wireless internet; our room did not get it. The TV had about 5 channels all which came in fuzzy, and the continental breakfast consisted of a cup of coffee before 9 am.

Positives: The price was good.

Negatives: Location and appearance.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 11 Jun 2007 rated 2 out of 10.

Would not recommend this hotel to others. Very run down and immediate area surrounding hotel did not feel safe. Have stayed at numerous Days Inns in the past and this hotel does not seem to fit in with the chain's image. Not really even a 1 star hotel. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful in general.

Positives: Convenient to I-95; fairly close to the Washington DC Metro.

Negatives: Gross motel, needs a complete renovation.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 27 May 2006 rated 3 out of 10.

This hotel was dirty, I had a non-smoking room that smelled like smoke and had cigarette burns all over the tub and carpet. The bed did not have fitted sheet, just a mattress cover, the ice machine did not work and when the staff was notified, they did nothing to correct or accommodate the problem. The room lacked and iron and ironing board. This room was not worth $97 for a one night stay. I spent less 15 hours in this hotel. I would have been better off sleeping in my car or a tent.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Hotel was dirty, lacked ironing board/iron, ice machine broken, smelly room.
