I needed to be in Arlington and convenient to I-395. This was centrally located to where I needed to go. Easy to get in and out of once you figure out that you need to drive completely through the seedy looking Best Western parking lot, and behind to reach the Comfort Inn. It was clean, bathroom had a nice big counter, and loved the extra little sink outside bathroom which was a good location for a wet bar. This kept the clutter of ice bucket and coffeemaker from taking up space in bathroom. The chairs were comfortable. Beds and pillows good; and I LOVE a blanket and spread instead of a duvet. It could use a freshup of decor, new wallpaper, carpet, etc.

I was worried when I arrived the first night and saw a bus arrive at the same time; but I never heard a sound both nights I was there. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was OK, wish they had more fruit than just apples and bananas.

Parking was free and felt like it was safe and well-lighted. For weeknights in DC area, the price is good.

The location is horrible. There are no restaurants or stores within walking distance. The shuttle only goes two places and is only scheduled hourly in the middle of the day. (However, in a pinch they did come pick us up outside the schedule.)

By the time we got to the room I was almost ready to change hotels. The hallways were dirty with badly stained carpet, and the wall were dirty and had years of dings and scrapes from equipment and/or luggage. My daughter didn't want to sleep there, and I know it was because she was anxious about the appearance of the hotel in general. The door seemed secure, but there was a gap at the bottom, that allowed me to hear everything going on outside in the hallway. Luckily it was a slow time of the year. Our room was OK, spacious even, and had the largest shower I've ever seen in a hotel, but there were tears in the furniture. There was a refrigerator and microwave, but no silverware or dishes.

For the same price (approx $130) I stayed at three other hotels this trip, including one in Dupont Circle in Washington DC, and they were much nicer in a much better location.

If you are staying here for the shuttle, stay somewhere else within walking distance of the Metro instead. Even with three kids and 4 roll-a-boards, the Metro was very manageable.

made the mistake of checking in to the next door best western- a complete disgusting disaster and cancelled to come to the comfort- clean, polite, roomy- perfect for the business traveler of family- 3 miles from d

We stayed October 4-11 and I can't think of anything bad to say. Room was clean, comfortable, and well-kept. Plenty of food and choices for breakfast for no charge. Shuttle service every 30 or 60 minutes - approximately 2 miles - to Pentagon City subway, which is connected to a large shopping mall with many restaurants. The next time I visit Washington, DC., I would definitely stay here again.
