Hotel seemed OK from descriptions. Forget it! We reserved for over a week. As with the previous review when we arrived we were told that the computers were down and had been down for over a week. So the hotel could not confirm any reservations and could not process credit cards. We had to pay cash. Paid for the first night; came back after some touring to find ourselves locked out of our room. When I told the girl behind the (presumably) bullet-proof glass that we were supposed to stay a week and had been asked to pay only the first night, she knew nothing about it. Also, no manager on duty between 6 PM and midnight so we had nobody to speak with. We paid one more night, then moved.
When the next morning I asked the man who had checked us in, he laughed and said all keys automatically expired at 10 AM.

The room was OK but this hotel clearly has severe management problems. No business allows its computers to be down for a week unless they don't want to pay for servicing.

Don't stay there.

I googled "hotels near Walter Reed" and this Days Inn came up. My brother is Army and was flown from Afghanistan to WRAMC in an emergency situation and I just needed a place to crash for one very short night, until I could get squared away with the Army. Honestly, being about a mile from Walter Reed Army Medical is the only thing this place has going for it.

The door rattled, the "non-smoking" room obviously wasn't "non-smoking, the pottie ran all night. Checking in wasa breeze for me because I paid for the room online (never do that again). The staff at the front desk behind the bullet-proof glass was minimally helpful. Functional, at best. There was a note on the door stating that the computers were "undergoing upgrades" and that all guests would have to pay by cash only. I'm sure that made many guests very happy to be inconvenienced.

The room was very small. Oddly small. The towels were very dingy--what should have been white was more like pale yellow. Ick. I didn't dare pull back the covers. I brought my own blanket and slept on top of it. Parking was atrocious and there was all kinds of people loitering in the parking area. There was alot of yelling and people came and went all night noisily.

This is a sad excuse for a Days Inn. I read on another site that it's undergoing a major renovation...that's a joke.

If you can afford to stay somewhere else, by all means do so. This was not someplace that made me feel safe at all, especially as a woman travelling alone.

I was nervous about staying here after reading some of the reviews other people wrote. Check-in was fast, and the folks behind the (what looked like bullet proof glass enclosed) counter were somewhat friendly, even though it was hard to understand what they were saying.
Parking is VERY limited! We got there early before a lot of people checked in so we got a spot and didn't move the car until the day we left.
Their internet doesn't work unless you go to the lobby for wireless, or they have one computer you can use. When we went to the lobby to use the wireless, there were other guests complaining about the limited parking. One man requested a wake up call so that he could go put money in the parking meter across the street, he said if he didn't receive that call, he was going to hold the hotel responsible if he got a parking ticket. He was not pleased at all.

On the second day of our trip, when we came back to the hotel after a long, tiring day, we went to our room to find that we couldn't open it. Thinking that the housekeeper took our stuff and dead-bolted the door somehow, we went to the front desk and they had 1 person working who was so confused because she had to check in a group. After waiting for a half hour for the girl to check in the group, we told her our problem and thankfully, the maintenance man came to our rescue and got us in our room and nothing was taken.

The walk from the hotel from the metro is about 5 or 6 blocks. It is a pretty scary walk if you are alone. Underneath the bridge smelled like urine by the way. There were lots of homeless people hanging around the 7-11 located just a block from the hotel as well.

To sum it all up, if you do stay here, the rooms are ok....just basic hotel rooms with beat up bathrooms. The only thing I actually liked about this place was the price, and they give discounts to AAA members.
If you aren't on a budget...or even if you are....spend the little extra $20 a night and stay downtown, or in another suburb of the city.

The young lady that check me in was very friendly and helpful. The room that was assign to me was clean and had a microfridge and coffee maker in the room. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family because of the price and amenities.
