Wyndham Gardens Arlington is now the Hotel Arlington. It is now an INDEPENDENT hotel with new…read moreowners and management. FORGET the old reviews, under the new owners this is a quiet gem tucked away in an unlikely spot - next to a storage rental place, but that is a plus - it is off the busy road and nice and quiet. The Arlington is beautiful. Unlike similarly-priced hotels like the Hilton Express (and the super-crappy LaQuinta) in Marysville, this a luxurious, gorgeous hotel, with dark wood paneling and brass fittings, a beautiful entry in the middle of two water feature coy ponds, a relaxing and well-decorated lounge, and really good management, under General Manager, Lema. Use your GPS to find the turn - if you pass a storage unit business you just missed it. It is part of a larger building with offices first, keep going about 50 feet and you will be in the drop off area. We good a King bed corner room, and the first thing that made me happy -well, the second, because the first was true concierge check-in by Lema) were the TWO marble-topped vanities, both with hair dryers! One in the room, and one in the roomy bathroom. Well lit, and no fighting for a mirror when you are getting ready to go to an event, like a concert at Tulalip. (BTW there is a shuttle to the casino and back, up to 2 a.m.) The squeaky-clean room had all the amenities - A modern Visio TV screen, an upholstered chair to relax in with a standing linen lamp to read and relax by, a desk (marble top) and a dresser (I hate not having a dresser, even for an overnight stay) a mini fridge and easy to use coffee maker/water heater. The creamy taupe shades made a lovely ambient light, the bed was comfy, with plenty of pillows and extra bedding in a drawer; closet had a double mirror, ironing board and iron, and the hotel soaps were nice. Everything in the room worked. Plenty of water pressure, the switches and plug-ins, the remote, and heating and cooling. That seems like it should be a given, but so many badly run hotels do so poorly checking these things. I should note that we did not have a reservation, so they didn't check it last-minute, it was ready. I DO recommend reservations though, this sweetheart hotel won't be a secret long. The pool was open and clean, with a whirlpool next to it. Not huge, but not crowded with clean dressing rooms and towels. I went down in the morning and splashed around with some kids that were there with their folks, which was fun. The exercise room was not elaborate, but again clean and the machines worked. The breakfast fare was pretty standard but plenty of choices - coffee, tea, pastrys, fruit, four kinds of cereal, yogurt... The hot breakfast offered scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage -all well cooked and warm little pancakes and syrup...I don't remember everything except that the woman running it was as nice and accomodating as she could be, and kept things stocked. If you are going to Marysville and want a way nicer than standard cookie cutter hotel experience, this is the place. Note: Don't mix it up with the Arlington Motel, and you might find old reviews under Wyndam Gardens. Ignore those. But don't tell everybody - you will want a room available if you decide on a last minute night out at the Casino. BTW the restaurant is not open, and probably won't be, which is fine. It is hard to keep a restaurant going, but you may see old reviews that talk about it. It helps keep the rooms affordable.

Their new status as a private company has led the former Wyndham gardens to scale back on some of its amenities (restaurant & lounge), but this is not an issue in an area where restaurants and retail are plentiful.

Even the soap is good here....that never happens!!! I am blown away by the value and enjoyment of our stay at Hotel Arlington. Bring your own hair dryer

Posting an update after I held my wedding here…read more All of the staff that I worked with before and during the event were all really great. They made the process easy. The guy that was at the venue at 8 am with me the day of my wedding was really helpful, kind and patient, especially since I was the bride setting up my own wedding alone. He helped me figure out the tablecloths and answered some questions that I had. The opera house is a freaking sauna in the summer. I would not book any kind of event here in the summer. They have 2 standing fans for the main floor and no air conditioning. It was 85 F the day of my wedding, and I was sweating to death in a t-shirt and shorts. Once I put on my wedding dress, I was a non-stop sweat fest. All of our guests were sweating like crazy too. People were rubbing their faces with napkins and hankerchiefs with visible sweat running down their faces. As soon as the program part of the reception ended, everyone except a handful of people darted out to escape the heat. Hardly anyone stayed to dance and many of our guests sent us notes on Facebook or text messages saying they were sorry they didn't stay to wish us well, they were about to die of heat stroke and had to leave. The bridal suite/cottage has zero fans and zero air conditioning. The bathroom in the bridal suite is convenient so you can shower there after setting up your wedding but it is absolute hell. There is no fan in the bathroom and the walls and floor are wood, holding in all of the heat. I took a cold shower and so did my SIL, BIL, MIL and husband. All of them were about to die. My MIL left her hair wet. There are no electrical outlets either in the bathroom and none in the two rooms to get ready in. There is a mini fridge in the bridal suite but the door's broken and it doesn't keep anything cold. There isn't an ice machine in the kitchen nor an oven or stove so all of your food has to be cooked elsewhere and brought in. Our caterer didn't believe me that there's no ice machine and was running around last minute to bring in bags of ice. The AV set up is great and the acoustics are great for music and microphones. They will charge you extra for any use of their AV so we just used our DJ's. It's a really beautiful building and I'd use it again but only in the winter.

The bridal cottage was PERFECT- plenty of space for everyone to get ready and a few lovely photo op spots.

The price is a deal for sure, especially for the service, attention to detail, and overall beauty of the venue. We loved you guys!! -Phil and Celeste
