Functional and clean are the key points for this Econolodge, which is conveniently located within walking distance of Washington stop.
Positives: It was clean.
Negatives: There is no "public area" to enjoy the free continental breakfast.

The room was clean (but small), but was fine for my purposes. There was to the Metro station was only about a 5-7 minute walk, so it was close and convenient. The Metro ride to downtown is about an hour, including the walk there and line changes--so be aware that it's NOT a "quick" ride (but much faster than a car ride during rush hour!). My biggest complaint is that there is no coffee pot in the room (but I hear they did have some downstairs)--so if this is something that is important to you, bring your own. There is an iron/ironing board and a blow-dryer, however. Overall, I was happy with my stay, especially for the price. I would use this hotel again.
Positives: Close to metro, clean, inexpensive.
Negatives: Very small, no amenities (no microwave, coffee pot, etc).

Negatives: No amenities.

This is a nice standard hotel. Pleasant staff. Very clean. Walking distance from Metro station. 1/2 block from a French restaurant. 1 block from upscale sandwich/salad eatery (think Cos). Complimentary continental breakfast.
Positives: 10 minute walk on bike trail (paved) to Metro station; next door to both fancy restaurant and upscale sandwich shop.
Negatives: Had to carry luggage up about 12 stairs (inside made it easier).

I have always found this hotel to be above its rating, conveniently located and clean. I appreciate free parking, restaurants nearby, a walking trail and the metro.
Positives: Location and free parking.
Negatives: I prefer the upper floors. This is the first time I stayed in the sub floor.

Rooms were clean and well maintained with roof and mw. Location is excellent for metro to wdc. Hotel has no community space and would be difficult for children. Excellent location for business or travel to wdc.
Positives: Rooms were clean, staff efficient, location near metro excellent.
Negatives: No open space for breakfast or sitting except room.

This is a great economical place to stay for the business traveler. Located three blocks to the metro. As tourists the staff was very knowledgeable about attractions and restaurants. Lack of activities and space for children would be a problem (we didn't have any). Made the next Econo lodge look shabby.
Positives: This Econo lodge is excellently maintained inside and out it was very well appointed and the manager and staff are the best I have ever met.
Negatives: Only lament was its size. Rooms are tight including the public areas.
