We stayed here because it was under 100$ and we only needed a place to stay close to the job interview we came to town for. We asked for a non-smoking room and got a smoking room which reeked horribly of cigarettes, the rooms are in dire need of an update and the bed was ok, comfort wise. The only good thing was we only were here for about 10 hours to sleep and shower and the bathrooms were very nice compared to the room itself. Water pressure was great but you can tell they updated the bathrooms recently, and left the rooms alone. Would not recommend for longer than one night.

Clean and affordable
Was visiting a friend in Annandale for a couple of days and just needed an inexpensive place to crash at night. Had previously stayed at a hotel in Alexandria of comparable price that was not at all good so was very pleased at the cleanliness of the room and the friendliness of the staff. The good, solid wifi signal in the room was a definite bonus. Don't expect the Ritz - there was no fridge, coffee maker, hairdryer, or ironing board in my room but it was neat & clean and came at a good price as compared to other hotels in the area. I would certainly stay there on my next visit.

Time-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
If you want something other than the Continental Breakfast, there's a Dunkin Donuts 0.2 mile from this motel - you are FAR better off walking it than trying to get there and back by car during AM rush hour (there's no drive thru anyway). It's side-walked all the way.

Perfect stay for my business trip
First of all, the staff is wonderfully cordial and extremely pleasant to work with. No shortage of smiles at all, no matter what time of the morning you need their help. The room was simple, but very clean and comfortable and it functioned as the perfect place to work from in between meetings. If you need to press your clothes, you may want to check with the desk to see if an ironing board is available since there wasn't one in the room. I would definitely stay there again and recommend others to do so, too.

Good Value
Convenient to the Fairfax/Vienna Metro station, with 2 minute walk to bus stop and a 10 minute bus ride. An older hotel, but staff is friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and comfortable.

Convienient and clean
I traveled with my 12 yr old son to visit the Smithsonian museums and the Spy museum ,Crime and Punishment museum and the aquarium. The check in was easy and fast.The clerk was EXTREMELY helpful. He helped us with navigation on the CUE bus system,which saved me the hassle of finding parking at the Metro station. The Metro was very close and easy to find with his directions going the "back way" to avoid heavy traffic IF I did choose to drive there. My son loved the muffins and juice at the breakfast in the lobby of the motel. There were several restaurants within easy driving distance of the hotel as well. The only things disappointing was that I was given a smoking room although my reservation stated non smoking and several of the cable channels on TV did not work...we had picture but no sound and when traveling with a 12 yr old that is a major thing. I knew there was no fridge when booking but as a suggestion I think a fridge in the room would make your stay soooo much nicer. (Especially in 103' summer heat) Overall I would recommend this hotel.The staff was helpful and friendly, the room was clean and located where I needed it to be.

If you are going to use the Metro, utilize the CUE bus system. It is just outside the hotel, adult fare is $1.60 and students at just $.75. Great time saver and money saver to get to the Metro. Avoid the hassle of finding parking (unless you go BEFORE the commuters you will NOT find parking) and was less expensive than paying for parking IF you did find a space. The bus drivers were very friendly as well.

Overnight stay
I only used the room to sleep in for a short overnight business trip. The room served its purpose with good TV stations and good free wi-fi. The staff was friendly, but this Econo Lodge wasn't anything fancy. I wouldn't stay there for more than 1 night.
