Welcome to the 70's
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/19/09
I didn't mind the 70's decor, the funky old bathroom, thin pillows, worn matress, stained carpet. Even the cheezy lock that uses a standard key and could be easily busted was OK -- I didn't have anything of value in my room and was only there one night. But the pillow cases smeeled of perfume (from the previous guest? The maid?), the ...
Best value in/around DC! Instead of paying $150-200/night for a place to stash your luggage and sleep, the rates at Americana are perfect. Unless you want to come to DC just to sit in a hotel room. The rooms are not fancy and the furniture is old (but comfortable) but overall it's a great hotel. The building is pretty cool too... it looks ...
My wife described it as "Retro". We couldn't have been happier with our stay. We stayed 6 nights at a very affordable price and didn't find anything to complain about. It was cool, clean and the service was great. Close enough to walk to Metro or for dining. But if you are like me and don't feel like walking after walking ...
I could not be happier with this hotel especially given the price and the helpfulness of the staff.
While this hotel is not plush or glamorous, it is clean, orderly, affordable and has a free shuttle every 30 minutes between 6am--11pm. The shuttle will take you to the Metro station or other places in Crystal City.

Very Pleasant stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/09/09
This hotel is a very close walk to everything a person on foot would want. The metro is a short and safe walk. Cut through the Marriott to the Crystal City Shops and the metro is even closer. The shuttle to and from the airport was prompt and very clean. The television had many stations on those days that we had to rest our feet. The only ...

A hidden gem!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/10/08
The room was very clean, quiet, comfy and spacious, loved the extra vanity, this is a very well maintained older hotel. Great value. The staff was very nice and friendly and helpful. Easy walk to the Metro Crystal City Station and Shopping area, very close to DC sites. The beds were a bit hard but not bad. We'll be back!
Our stay at The Americana was great. The promixity to The Metro was a block away, but the hotel shuttle service was outstanding, the drivers were very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Great continantel breakfast! We will stay again.
It was by far one of the best finds in the area. It may appear older on the outside but everything was the best. The rooms were extremely clean...the staff was extremely friendly and helpful with everything. It is conveniently located close to the Metro and plenty of shopping and food choices. I would definately recommend this hotel to everyone and I will stay there again next time I am in the area.
I've stayed at the Americana many, many times over the past 25 years. It's not a fancy place. But it's clean, safe, friendly, convenient, and the best value in the entire south Arlington area.
