Great location near the metro to get to DC, rooms are clean and spacious (although they don't get…read morecleaned between nights), and breakfast is included. Parking is extra, which we paid in advance but then it was on our bill at the end of the stay, so make sure to check if you pay in advance. The pool is small, and when I went it was crowded and parents let their kids just scream their hearts out, so we ended up only staying a few minutes. That's not so much the hotel's fault, but the acoustics really echo and a lot of parents think pools are babysitters and don't even watch their kids. The gym is separated into cardio and weightlifting equipment which is a little inconvenient, especially as only one room had a water cooler, but it has standard equipment. The lobby is spacious if you want to hang out a bit. The price wasn't too bad for a big, comfortable room and only a few train station stops into town. It's a decent option if you want to visit. There are also shops and restaurants in walking distance.

The daily complementary breakfast was tasty and filling. The hotel is within walking distance to the Ballston-MU metro station, a Harris Teeter grocery store, Target, several restaurants and shops. While the pool was closed when I visited, both exercise rooms were open. The laundry room was clean, bright and easy to navigate. I highly recommend this Residence Inn Ballston Arlington Hotel to travelers looking for a relaxing place to call home.

The shuttle to/from the terminal was convenient. The front desk was friendly and efficient. The room was large, extremely clean, and well-appointed - and most importantly, quiet. I appreciated the "quiet in the hallway after 10 pm" sign. There was a large fitness center (shared with the hotel next door) which had everything from cardio machines to free weights/kettlebells to a power rack. The breakfast was well-stocked (and included) but there are tons of coffee and food options within a couple blocks. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat for the price.

Checked in here on a Thursday afternoon for a one day stay which included a banquet at the hotel. Two of the three elevators were out of service, and took 15 minutes to get from lobby to my room. Then from my room to dinner took 10 minutes, then checking out took 10 minutes for the elevator. Food service needs improvement. I ordered a vegetarian entrée. and there was not a single protein-containing item on my plate. Breakfast was abysmal. The only "fruit" available was a bowl of bananas Breakfast pastries were all cellophane wrapped of who knows what vintage. Also the hotel seemed to be teeming with kids, who were noisly occupying the hallways until close to midnight. I am a sound sleeper, but this disturbed the rest of some of my colleagues at the meeting I was in town to attend.

This will be a longer review than usual, but I hope you'll read through to the end. It explains why…read morethe Hilton Garden Inn Arlington is an excellent choice to stay at--beyond just being a very nice hotel. I was in the area to attend a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery and needed accommodations nearby, so I booked at the Hilton Garden Inn Arlington. I've been a Hilton Honors member since 2005 and have always enjoyed consistently smooth experiences at Hilton properties. Since the service was scheduled for early afternoon, we requested an early check-in to give us time to prepare. The staff went above and beyond: they coordinated with the head of housekeeping to have a room ready for us. When we arrived at noon, everything was spotless and waiting. The real reason for this detailed review, though, happened at checkout. I accidentally left my toilet kit in the room. Once I returned home, I called the hotel, and the team made the process incredibly easy and stress-free. I first spoke with Mr. Adam Shewan-Gezaw, the Housekeeping Manager, who quickly located the item and explained the return options. Then Mr. Garry Reynolds, Front Desk Supervisor, followed up with an email that included additional contact details for Mr. Shewan-Gezaw, Ms. Joanne Solis (Housekeeping Supervisor), and Mr. Dimitri Dittimus (Guest Services Agent). Mr. Dittimus even reached out to me personally to provide updates on the progress. Everyone treated the matter with genuine care and urgency, even though the kit contained nothing of significant monetary value--just a few items that hold personal, sentimental meaning to me. Their attentiveness and teamwork were truly impressive. I can't thank the entire Hilton team enough for going the extra mile. In the end, sometimes any hotel will suffice. But when you encounter conscientious, customer-focused people like this, you know you'll be in excellent hands. Highly recommend.

We had already paid for parking, but the gate wouldn't open when we arrived, so we had to stop by the front desk to have our key reset. Thankfully, the staff resolved it quickly. The hotel itself was clean, and the common areas were well-maintained and inviting. We especially enjoyed the free breakfast and the games available downstairs, which added a nice touch for families and guests looking to relax. The rooms were spacious and clean as well. The only downside was that there were a few nails sticking up in our room that we accidentally stepped on multiple times during our stay. We mentioned it to the staff when checking out, and they were apologetic and said they would address the issue. The parking garage was also pretty tight, which made maneuvering larger vehicles a bit challenging. Despite those minor issues, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the friendly service and comfortable accommodations.

The Hyatt Place in Arlington was a wonderful stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bed wasn't the best hotel bed, but it wasn't horrible. It just felt more like a futon than a bed. What made the stay was the staff. From the hotel clerks, to the kitchen ladies, to housekeeping and maintenance; everyone I met was kind, accommodating and so friendly. The breakfast buffet was fabulous. The individual quiches were sublime! Honestly, one of the best hotel stays I've ever had. I wish I still had my photos, but I deleted them after I posted my initial review. Stay at the Hyatt Place with confidence.

I've strived to maintain Hyatt Globalist status for some years now and I do it mainly by staying at…read moreHyatt Places. This particular one is in a decent location, close to a metro stop and within walking distance of some restaurants not too far away. The rooms are exactly what you'd expect from a Hyatt Place, with the bed(s), couch, mini-fridge, bathroom, etc... Yet my experience here felt a bit subpar relative to my other stays at Hyatt Place hotels. This is mainly because of two minor things. First, I felt my interactions with staff were a bit frustrating. They were perfectly nice and polite, but I feel a bit slow. Upon check in, they asked for a credit card to take a security deposit and I asked them to charge it to the card on file. They either didn't understand or refused. I gave them the same card I had on file. It was the same thing. But that always annoys me and takes up more time than necessary. At breakfast the next day, they rope off the lobby creating a single entry point where they check your name for breakfast. Typically the free breakfast at Hyatt Place hotels is open and you just walk in. While I recognize this method is susceptible to random people walking in to take advantage of the breakfast, having a guest list to check off for such a basic (arguably not even good) breakfast seems a bit uninviting and indeed, time consuming. This is a perfectly fine hotel to stay at when in the area. But compared to the standard Hyatt Place experience, it falls short. Three stars.

Manisha and Prashsant, owners of Stone Manor Inn, were personally involved in making sure all went smoothly with our cocktail and dinner party, and it most certainly did! SMI is a lovely old country inn on 14 acres, I believe, with a number of different venues (indoors and out) for meetings, parties, and weddings. The rooms (7 in total) were eclectic, in a good way. All four of their largest rooms that we occupied were spacious, with king beds and spa tubs with separate showers. All were well maintained and clean upon check-in. We had no complaints. I'm not sure when we will return to the area, but when we do, we will not hesitate to return!

It's a comfortable, modern hotel with a friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The rooms and common areas are well kept, and the location is excellent. The room was very nice with a large bed, a large headboard, a business area, a lounge, refrigerator and microwave. It has 2 window treatments: 1 for limiting light and one for blocking the light totally. Each of these work with a chain arrangement. It's just steps away from the main Shirlington shops, including restaurants like Busboys and Poets, cafes, and even grocery stores. The whole area around the hotel seems very walkable. It feels like a nice little neighborhood rather than just another hotel strip. The one drawback is parking. You do have to pay, and the garage is about a block away rather than right under the hotel. It's manageable, though, and, I think, the convenience of the area makes up for it. Overall, this Hilton Garden Inn is a really good choice if you're visiting the DC area. The mix of comfort, service, and the nice neighborhood makes it a place I'd gladly recommend to others and hope to return to in the future.
