Needed a place to stay for the night that was a close to the airport as possible. This was a great choice. The location is ideal. Free Wifi, free shuttle and the manager was great when I mentioned that I asked for a two bed room and was given a room with one. He quickly ran up to make sure... More

My son & I stayed here for 3 nights this week and had a great visit to the DC area! The hotel is in Crystal City, walking distance to the Metro or the hotel has a shuttle that will take you to get on the Metro. The free breakfast each morning was great, only someone who thinks they have to... More

We paid $63 a night for the week days, and $83 a night for the week ends. That is seriously incredible for the location, free parking, free wifi. Price is definitely the biggest plus to this place. Having said that, be aware that this is not the Marriott or the Hyatt. The beds were comfortable enough. But the furniture was... More

Don't come to the Americana expecting a mint on your pillow. It's about as cheap as you can find this close to the metro. I made the walk there and back with my kids (ages 9 and 12), no problem. Lots of places to shop within easy walking distance. Great CHEAP place to stay for a bed & bathroom while... More

Risked a three night stay based on positive reviews on TripAdvisor and was not disappointed. First, this is NOT a polished new facility. It is an old and worn hotel/motel that opened for business in 1963 and it looks it. But it is clean, safe, and less than half the price of neighboring hotels and includes ample free parking, a...

We stayed for 3 nights in June at the Americana. We wanted to stay at a place that was cheap and had free parking and this one fit the bill. The hotel has seen better days but, the room was clean (could use some paint and new carpeting) the wifi was fine and the bathroom was decent. The beds were... More

I just finished my fourth stay at the Americana and look forward to going back. Staff was cool, room was clean and location is very good. My only complaint was the TV but it worked. Plan to be back in October. I love the Americana.

Pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the accommodation was here. Sure, it is an older property, and the paint and fixtures may not be perfect. But you do get a quiet nicely furnished room for a very reasonable price. Very close to airport, Arlington National Memorial, and all the DC attractions. A free shuttle to and from Reagan airport was appreciated.... More

We stayed at the Americana for two nights in may. Dont believe the bad reviews as this is a decent hotel for the money you pay. Located near shopping malls and restaurants and only a few miles away from Washington DC. The staff were very helpful and will give you a free lift in there transport to the bus for... More

Try to find another hotel in the urban DC area that is within walking distance to the Metro AND has free parking. Good luck, because you won't be able to. The Americana Hotel is a traveler's oasis in Pentgon City, which is about ten minutes to downtown DC via the Metro, and about five minutes to National Airport. Your sleep... More
