DAYS INN BY WYNDHAM ARLINGTON/WASHINGTON DC, Arlington

The property is in a state of severe disrepair, far from the photos shown online. Rooms present a combination of stained carpets and bedding, peeling wallpaper, water-damaged ceilings and walls, mold in bathrooms, and broken light fixtures and outlets. Electrical outlets are overloaded and loose, making device charging difficult and posing a safety risk. Heating and air conditioning units are old, loud, and often ineffective, leaving rooms freezing in cold weather. Plumbing issues are common, including leaking sinks, toilets, and bathtubs, with one bathtub floor moving like a waterbed due to a moldy, rotted subfloor. Pests such as mice, cockroaches, and bedbugs have been reported. The furniture is old and worn, with no wardrobes in some rooms (only a hanging rod, sometimes without hangers). The overall atmosphere is run-down and depressing, not a fit for travellers expecting a basic standard of comfort and safety.

The breakfast offering is a basic continental selection that is frequently described as extremely limited and of low quality. Items such as eggs and coffee have been noted as poor. The breakfast room itself is described as dark, adding to the unappealing experience. For guests who rely on a substantial or pleasant morning meal, the paid breakfast here is unlikely to meet expectations, and the surrounding area (within 0.5 km) includes several restaurants for alternatives.

The property offers a free fitness centre for guests. No other wellness or leisure facilities (such as a pool or spa) are available.

Free WiFi is available in all areas. Free private parking is on-site with no reservation needed. The 24-hour front desk provides luggage storage and a safety deposit box (though it has been reported as broken). Daily housekeeping is listed as a free service but is not provided during a stay. A free shuttle service runs to the Metro, but return service ends at 4 PM and does not operate on weekends. A business centre and fax/photocopying are available for a charge. Vending machines for drinks and snacks are on-site. The property is non-smoking (with designated smoking areas) and has wheelchair access with accessible parking.
