Days Inn Lanham Washington DC

Too bad I have to even give one star, doesn’t deserve any and very good reason for that. First off, this is the most disgusting hotel that I have step foot in. Harassed on the way in and harassed on the way out. The management was the most unprofessional/​uneducated that I have dealt with in a long time. Lady at the front desk had an attitude as soon as we walked in, if you didn’t want my business just say so. The room was absolutely disgusting, moldy, Smokey and just unsanitary. The blankets had cigarette burns in them and felt like a worn out egg crate. When we asked for new blankets they brought us the only 2 they had left or that’s what they just stated. The blankets they brought us were baby blankets, big enough to swaddle a new born. After experiencing all this and standing in the middle of the room scratching my head asking why am I going to pay $ 96.00 for this, we decided to leave. as we asked the management for a refund they were quick to give us our money back with no concerns as to why, not one question or apologies. Days Inn should be ashamed of themselves, crappy un-​sanitized rooms and the worst management ever. I would look for new employees and for god sakes clean the place up.

2 stars
1, the bed is very hard it’s not the soft kinds
2. No complimentary breakfast
3. No return. If you get a room somehow you don’t like it there isn’t any returns. It’s. Not like other hotels. Other hotels you can get your $ back if you don’t want to stay anymore

In the beginning. .. When walking into the lobby, there is an odor. Not a great start. The front desk staff, though, was great. They had my reservation (made 2 months in advance and not refundable), gave me the key and sent me on my way.
Third floor smoking. I’d asked for smoking, but gosh! change the filters and open window between guests. Also, if you’re going to have smoking room, buy deodorizers that eliminate the smell.
The housekeeping staff was great. Fast and efficient. Because I was long term, eight days, I often needed nothing but coffee and lots of creamer, which was cheerfully provided.
On the sixth day of my stay, the artwork above the bed fell o to the bed. Thankfully, I was not in it. Had I been, it would now be called GorDon’s Inn! LOL! Took an hour and me going to front desk (after calling an hour before) for someone to come and remove it from the bed. He removed, swiped dust and debris from the bed with his hand and off he went. Hmm. Real cleanliness, huh?
To encapsulate: odor upon entry; rooms are fairly clean; housekeeping and front desk staff are good; service is slow.

Only get 1 star cuz 0 stars isn’t an option. Bullet proof glass. Unfriendly staff. Ugly old rooms which needs Major upgrading. The floor was more comfortable than the bed. The bathroom belonged in a 4 star hotel while the room belonged in a 1 star hotel. Never again. …

This hotel was basic, cheap, and close to the Metro for easy access to DC. There were no frills of any kind. The wireless worked ok and it was quiet in the room despite being on a busy road.
The only thing that really was crappy was that the bed was incredibly hard! The smell of cigarette smoke was very pervasive throughout the common areas of the hotel as well.

Only giving one star as I can’t give zero. DO NOT judge this book by it’s cover. Outside looks very nice, but once inside, everything from the bulletproof glass surround the front desk to the staff and customer service was the most uninviting I’ve ever experienced. We had booked a non-​smoking room and was put in a smoking room on the 3^rd floor with a window that had no safety mechanism on it so opened all the way with no screen even! After passing through the marijuana-​infested hallway to go try our luck at another room, the manager simply says, «I can’t help you, there are no other rooms. As for the window and marijuana: no one else is complaining…»
So yeah, wouldn’t recommend this hotel to my worst enemy – even knowing that this could’ve been just a bad day for everything – there’s always something better.
