We were looking for 2 nights around Washington as part of a mini tour of the East Coast, and a quick search found most hotels were pretty expensive, even on the Arlington side. But Highlander popped up on tripadvisor with great reviews so we decided to give it a go. Almost half the cost of most other hotels, this is... More

Room was more than basic..great shower! Marios next door had great subs (overflowing with goodies) AND ice cream. Friendly staff. Price the BEST deal! Would go here again in a... More

This is a great value for someone wanting to explore DC and surrounding area. The rooms were very clean, as was the property generally. The free breakfast was a pleasant surprise - whole wheat bagel-type toast or pastries and doughnuts plus yoghurt and fresh fruit and OJ. It's $9 for a day pass on the metro so we would ride... More

I booked this hotel based on the ratings I read on trip advisor. I am so glad that I did!! The hotel is in a great location. The walk to the Virginia Square metro station is a little over 5 minutes. It is in a very nice neighborhood and I never felt unsafe at any time. The room was kept... More

Stayed here two nights in April 2012 during Cherry Blossom Festival. Old school basic motel/motor lodge outdoor entries, but what is better than having your car right outside your door for convenience? Cool real room key instead of boring electronic cards. Close to Metro, good, safe neighborhood, great Silver Diner three blocks away. Clean room, good bed, refrigerator and Flat... More

This is a no frills motel. However, it was incredibly clean and very inexpensive for this area. It is conveniently located near the Metro and the parking is free. Also the WIFI is free. A simple continental breakfast is also included! You simply can't beat the value.

My son and I stayed here one night in March '12 when coming to DC for a hockey game. Sandy at front desk was very nice and helpful. Metro was very short walk away in good neighborhood. They provided continental breakfast and allowed us to keep our car parked there after we checked out so we could see DC using... More

Even at the government rate, this is an expensive area, and sometimes you can't even get it since the hotels in the area sell out. This motel is a great alternative. As the Motel 6 ad says, you get 'a clean comfortable room' and that is what is important for me. Don't expect fancy-shamcy shampoos (got get a little bottle... More

We stayed while visiting our son for a weekend. Overall we were pleased with our stay and will definitely stay again. On the plus side the room was very quiet, clean, roomy, and nicely decorated. There was a nice flat screen TV and refrigerator. The continental breakfast was great! Also, no bed bugs! The Metro was only about a block... More
