Suite hotel in Arlington. About a 10 mins drive from Ronald Regan airport and 15-20 min via metro into the National Mall area depending where you want to get off. Suite was fabulous - very large with kitchenette and living room. Breakfast buffet was very good, with eggs, sausages, pancakes, bagels etc. There are guest laundries available that cost $3/machine, but you can tap your card.

We stayed twice this week. The size of the rooms are fantastic. The hotel is very close to DC which is very convinient

The first room we stayed in, room 507, was very run down. Chipped furniture, striped walls, the bathroom mirror looked like it had had termites. Needs a lot of work. At night the water pipes made strange sounds. The second room, room 714, was a lot better. Still needs work, but better. The hotel does cleaning service only twice a week, it needs to be three times a week, at least! And eventhough the breakfast fare was good, a little variety would not hurt. I mean, same scrambled eggs, pancakes, cornflakes everyday!

It was amazing

Not

We had one bedroom suite. It was very spacious. The included breakfast was better than expected, even plates, cups, untensils, etc. were ceramic, class or steel. Breakfast was served at top floor - it was possible to see top of Washington Monument and Capitol over the roof of other buildings. The Courthouse metro station was handy to start daytime exploration of DC area. Further the metro from Dulles airport had a stop at the Courthouse station.

Furniture, doors, etc. were all working, but they showed marks of tiredness. There was a full kitchen, basically there were enough of utensils, but note that all classes (small and big) were for water/soft drink/beer style - no wine classes. House keeping is only once or twice per week. Dishwashing machine powder was available only for one time use (it was possible to get more from the reception)

The free, breakfast buffet served each morning between 6 am and 9 am included eggs, bacon, pancakes, and warm oatmeal was a good way to start the day. The living room area was very spacious. The metro lines are a short walk away. It's possible to take the Metro from DCA to this hotel also. People who may stay longer than a couple of days and do not want to eat out each night will find the kitchen a good option.

The walk to the Metro goes up a steep hill which is not friendly to the less mobile traveler. Some of the amenities such as the ice machine and laundry dryers were not in working order. The room decor is a bit dated.

very good location, less than 0.5 hour to Washington downtown, on the same metro line as the airport quiet, nice view on the Washington monument close to the metro station (although very steep street to get there ;-) ) locked room to leave the luggage after check-out very kind staff laundry

breakfast: limited variety of food, not pancakes or waffles, not choice of yogurt, difficult to find a clean and free table, breakfast room not large enough for so many guests, ends at 9:00 am (early for people on vacation) ice machine: out of order during all our stay

First of all, the room was very big. While it was a bit dated and rather dark at times due to limited ceiling lights, overall the room was comfortable and had everything I needed. It was also very clean. Secondly, the staff were very friendly. I faced issues with getting the lights and bath to work and they immediately sent the maintence staff over to help out. The location of the hotel was also extremely convenient, being only 5-8 mins away from Court House station to get into central DC. Lastly, the breakfast room has an amazing view in the morning which overlooks the Washington Monument in the distance. Highly recommend at least going up there to catch the sunrise even if you plan on eating out for breakfast.

The breakfast spread could have been improved. The buffet typically rotated around 4 main items: Eggs, carbs, meat and pancakes, with a small variety of cereals, bread and drinks. While sufficient, a wider spread would have been nice over the course of a few days. As mentioned earlier, I do think more ceiling lights could be useful, but I do understand that this hotel is quite dated and it might be difficult to really change much about the rooms.

I chose this hotel to book for my stay in December this year, because I stayed there before, and liked it, and knew what to expect. Price-wise it was one of the best offers in DC area, and I loved the neighbourhood, so when DC prices are too high I love staying in Arlington and don't mind taking metro to reach downtown. I liked the spacious room, and the kitchen, and the fact that breakfast is included. The beds/linen/pillows are very comfortable. A small detail, but I appreciated the body lotion, not all hotels offer that. Thanks. All the staff were super nice, and both times I had a balcony and a gorgeous view from my room, that I took pictures of at day and night time :) I really love the neighboorhood, and walking to metro (up the hill towards the station, but okay) or around was a pleasant activity. I haven't used the gym, though I could have, and it's also nice that the hotel has it. The hotel has a convenient parking lot, so when my local friends would drop me off they could easily park for a short period to visit my room for a cup of tea, etc. Overall, it was "home away from home", and it was specifically nice coming there for the second time, when you know the facility and are looking forward to returning there. I would definitely come again (if it continues to be affordable :))

I would have appreciated a cleaner window/door to the balcony, but that's a minor flaw. I think my room didn't have a tea pot, only a coffee maker, where you also can boil water, but having a tea pot could be more convenient, since you have a stove anyway. Otherwise kitchen facilities are very convenient.

The hotel was very nice, with an old-timey look and vibe. The breakfast was very good, with a lot of options, and the view pleasant (breakfast is on the last floor). The facilities were nice, the room big and the location very good, close to restaurants and metro. We could easily go to the National Mall from there and we felt very safe, even at late hours.

I'm not a fan of carpets, but I guess that's personal taste.

Great place to stay with easy access to downtown Washington by metro. Hotel is nice. Car parking was 15$ USD a night which was better than most other places I looked at. The free breakfast was great in the morning, there was a nice selection of food and a nice breakfast room on the 8th floor. Personally, I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading some of the reviews but I found the hotel actually very nice, a little dated but nothing major in my opinion. Recommend if you’re looking for an affordable hotel with parking near the city, access to metro station.

Like some of the other reviews, the staff didn’t stand out for me. They were okay but were not very expressive and did not really interact with guests. There must be a reason for that so I’m not blaming them. Perhaps something to do with management…
