This hotel is very outdated, including the television. It was clean, and the beds were comfortable. We reserved 2 rooms, and the television didn't work in one room and the other room it was 50/50 if it worked. The staff was notified of the TV not working and nothing was done about it. The winning points for this hotel was location. Lots of food options within walking distance. Metro station was within walking distance. Staff was very friendly. Overall a decent stay.

For us it was perfect. Staff is always friendly if you got into trouble. But I noticed one little thing which wasn’t very convenient for me and my family. To enter the room you have to use your card, which stops working immediately after it touches any device. I used to put my phone and card and other thing in one pocket, therefore it was a little problematic. Overall, I liked the hotel, the place it is located in, and the staff.

We've stayed at this hotel a few times over the past 4 years and for the most part it met our needs. The staff was always friendly and helpful when needed. Only a couple points for your attention: - curtains have mold from a/c unit blowing on it - water was cold in the morning, concierge sent someone up and it was an issue due to volume of clients in the hotel, they came right away but there really should be hot water even if there are a lot of people - men's room in the lobby had puddle of water on the floor, potential slip hazard, and ladies room in the lobby was closed Thank you!

Arlington chain.

Fridge not working. No power by beds. Big comfy room with a sofa and chairs was great. Convenient outdoor parking. Very good restaurants nearby. Cheaper food a mile away. Hopping neighborhood. Pool with a lifeguard! A real professional. My granddaughter and I loved our frozen swim. June will be comfy.
