I stayed at Econo Lodge Metro for 3 nights. I was a bit nervous before I booked the hotel because I think Econo Lodge is usually one of the cheapest ones in the chain hotel so you can't expect much. I did a lot of research and decided to take my chances even though the pictures of the outside of the hotels were not very good. Besides the looks outside, everything else is great. I mean, I don't really care what the hotel looks like outside as long as the room is nice. It turned out the room was very nice, flat panel TV, looked very stylish. The hotel was very clean (my number one priority). There is continental breakfast in the lobby which you can just take back and eat in your room. The hotel is next to I-66 so very convenient if you are driving, and only 5 minutes walk to the metro. The walk to the metro is very safe as well. Overall if you want to visit DC or stay around DC, I recommend this place very highly.
