Place too small, no real place to have breakfast, they just give you cereal and apples on a table setup by the front desk. Showers too small, door won't close shut.

Everything was fine but the breakfast was minimal and no adequate breakfast room. It was surprising. Maybe you are supposed to take breakfast to your room.

An older property but very well kept and room was very clean. Great location if ur going to use the metro, and close enough to walk to downtown falls church for access to restaurants.
Just FYI it’s a 2-story building and there’s no elevator. Breakfast is very basic and is staged in lobby area…cereal & milk, bagels sealed in plastic, sealed plastic juices, and apples or bananas. Couldn’t find the coffee. Would be nice if there was a microwave avail, either at bfast or in room. But very impressed that all furnishings were in excellent condition.

The room was clean but run-down. Our door would't lock on the way out and we had to learn to mess with it before it would finally locked (we were there 4 days). The staff helped once and that was it. Breakfast was meagre. The hotel smelled of bug spray. No soap in the room. Containers in the shower were nearly empty. Not that mattered much, but the curtain was ripped. The staff was ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Parking was cramped but always available.
One issue I had was that I was called back home and I needed one night refunded. Apparently upon booking (and I paid for the entire trip early) I had click on the no-changes-to-booking option. At the desk I was told there is no penalty if one checks out early, but hell with you if you have booked and paid ahead of time. The manager would't budge. This is not my first rodeo and I am always understanding of circumstances, and I do not complain. But this time around, there were just way too many things that did not add up the cost of that room, and at the end, I think the refund for that last night was more than deserved.

The room appeared to be clean and beds well made. But a smell was present, not sure if it was from the carpet or the building itself, it smelled like a basement. Less than half way through the stay, I hear a rodent behind the mini fridge at night. I bring it up to the managers attention in the morning and decided to check out early and cancel the rest of my trip. The lady manager apologized sincerely and assured me it will be addressed and a refund for the remaining days that I paid for and didn't stay. No refund, no calls answered. Then routed to a customer service number that keeps transferring to a checking/booking agent but no customer service or management. Over a week later still no refund and still can't get to a live person to talk to on the phone.

Not going to lie. no bells and whistles at this hotel. It is a place to sleep. Rooms are nice, no microwave, just frigs. This is a perfect hotel for the metro ( 1 block) up the side path. Breakfast is a bust ... bring stuff is eat and enjoy the OJ and coffee. Free
Staff is vey friendly and helpful, check in was quick and painless.

If we ever go back to DC would we stay here? YES !!!!

I think for a twostar facility it was pretty good. It is great for a budget traveler. We stayed 6 nights. It was clean and the staff is very friendly. The room that we got was not ideal it was in the basement floor and the room was kind of dark. The matress was not that comfortable. Still I think it is a good deal for staying more that a couple of days.

The breakfast was just a table in the lobby no place to sit and eat either stand in the lobby or carry it back upstairs to your room to eat. Our room had a weird odor to it and we had to turn The AC unit much lower than normal to even feel cool in the room. The water in the tub drips constantly and if you didn't pull the room door closed hard it didnt latch and lock.

Front Desk person was very unprofessional.
I had a terrible experience at the Econo Lodge Metro in Arlington due to the front desk person’s awful behaviour. The person working the desk was incredibly rude, hostile, and treated us with zero respect when we were checking out and requested him to do our lunch in dining area. First he allowed to us then he did very rude behaviour and asked us to leave immediately in very loud voice. Motel should provide basic human decency. Save your money and stay somewhere else where the staff actually knows how to treat paying customers.

The Econo Lodge offers reasonable rates, and the accommodations were adequate for the price. However, the walls appeared dirty, and there was an unpleasant odor throughout the property. Improving cleanliness and using air freshening measures would greatly enhance the overall guest experience.

They ran out of bananas very early for the breakfast. The breakfast room is the front lobby which is not very convenient. The bathroom door in our room was swollen and could not close. But the room was clean and the water was hot. It is a 10-minute walk to the nearest Metro station.

We enjoyed our stay overall. The best parts about staying here are the rooms are clean and you are a short walk to the East Falls Church Metro. I found the staff ready to help with all of my questions.

A couple examples. We arrived a night early thinking we could add a night to the front of our trip, but they were booked full. I was having some issues with my phone, so the young man at the counter - he helped us find an affordable alternative for the night. He provided advice on where to stay and where to avoid. His recommendation was a good one.

When my husband’s glasses broke, the gentleman at the desk helped us find a place close by to get an emergency repair. They helped us understand the metro. We had so many questions, and each time they were extremely polite and helpful.

We stayed for 8 days and I can’t think any other place would have been the right combination of convenient, affordable, and clean to fit our needs. We would stay here again.

I just had an unpleasant experience with my daughter while on a college campus trip in DC. The breakfast is served on a small table at the entrance of the reception area. There are just 2 seats to eat. The only options are ultra-processed food loaded with carbohydrates — cereal, apple and banana, small bagels in a plastic bag, and a small pot of juice. There is one gallon of animal milk and no other source of protein. On the first day, when I expressed my surprise upon discovering the breakfast options, the receptionist just laughed at me. That was unprofessional. During my 2-day trip, I could only drink coffee and had to purchase breakfast outside because I have an intolerance to lactose and high-fructose fruits. I don't recommend this place if you are looking for a hotel close to DC that includes breakfast.

Our the toilet in our bathroom kept running and would not flush so the staff at the front desk called a repairman in who was able to fix the problem. The motel is a short drive to DC and the Metro is a short distance away. Overall for the price is was worth the stay. Not the best but not the worst either.

There is no water to drink available at this hotel. No water fountains or water bottles for sale. The bathroom was so small that it was uncomfortable for an adult to use. The shower felt claustrophobic as the shower curtain kept sticking to me because there wasn’t enough space to stand comfortably. The water pressure was very strong, which was good, but the water was so chlorinated that it made me sneeze in the shower. The parking lot was also very small and difficult to get into and out of.

I picked te Econo Lodge Metro in Arlington, Virginia because of its convenient location to the Stae Theater in Falls church for a New Year's Eve show. 10 minute walk/ 2 minute drive. Good deal for under $100. Room spotless and large, including decent size bathroom. Best shower I can remember in a hotel, with good pressure and hot water temp. 24 hour ready made coffee and tea in lobby. As a bonus, small breakfast snack. No complaints and total satisfaction. Great bang for te buck. Look forward to repeat stay for next year's New Year's Eve show or any other State Theater concerts before then.
