    Room
    Eric D.

    Le Méridien was a great place to stay in DC. My room had a great view. The room was freshly renovated so it smelled very fresh. I feel like you can never go wrong with Malin and Goetz toiletries, they smell amazing! The elevator has a curated playlist, I enjoyed every time I stepped into the elevator. The area around the hotel had quite a few good restaurants nearby. Roll Play, the Vietnamese place catty corner to the hotel, was really great! It's close to DC proper! Highly recommend!

    This was my first Le Meridien and certainly not my last. It is my second "wow" hotel stay in Arlington so am now wondering if maybe it is this area is super nice? I really enjoyed the layout and decorations of the lobby floor (which is the I believe 4th floor). It was a but confusing when entering from the main ground level entrance, but just hop in the elevator and go to the fourth floor and the lobby checkin is right there. There is a restaurant and bar around the corner from the lobby area that I would recommend. I tried multiple dinner options as well as their breakfast and was pleasantly surprised (deets in the separate restaurant review). Parking was super confusing since the garage is shared with the condo owners in the same building (floors 1-3 and I think 11+). A shared gym area, between hotel guests and condo residents), is on the 3rd floor. Room was ver comfy and super relaxing. View was into another high rise building nearby and also the river view. Looking forward to hopefully returning here soon!

    Great staff at the front desk. Very helpful. Major knock is that they gym equipment is poorly maintained and management's not responsive. I've reported broken equipment weeks ago and it's still not fixed up or dealt with in any way

    Nice sized bathroom :)

    The hotel is situated in such a convenient location! Located right across the street from the Metro station, it makes commuting throughout Norther Virginia and into D.C. incredibly simple. The hotel staff is very courteous and helpful. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The beds were very supportive and the pillows were nice and plush. The bathroom was also decently sized. Overall, I had a good experience with staying here. For ease of transportation, I would definitely recommend people to come stay here. It is a bit pricey, but you get a good comfortable room and the convenience of being steps away from public transportation. I'll take that over the stress of finding parking spots any day :)

    Mediteranean Sampler Hummus | Marinated Olives | Grilled Flatbread

    Good business dinner here tonight, although at the bar! It ended up a much better experience, as the bartender was pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable. Had a delicious Mediteranean Sampler, which at $13 was appropriately priced - Hummus | Marinated Olives | Grilled Flatbread. I could have eaten this all night / just kidding. For main course I had a very well presented NY Strip Steak for $41, which included Roasted shallots | garlic mashed potatoes | marsala jus | seasonal vegetables. I wished there was an option to chose. For dessert, could not pass on a Coconut Mango Cheesecake (Mango mousse | passion fruit glaze | coconut flakes) and only $11 was a winner.

    Little pedestal sink

    I'm writing this review during my stay (Oct 1-3) I'll update after I checkout on Sunday afternoon. Pros: Front deal agents were really nice and personable. The lobby is nice and dimly lit which I appreciate. I hate hotels that are lit up like a hospital all the time. The Amuse bar/restaurant was nicely decorated. Pretty swanky. I enjoyed a glass of red blend while I waited for my room. They have a really sexy lounge area just before you get to Amuse. Really nice A1. Cons: Rooms are supposed to be ready by 3:00 pm for checkin. My room was t ready until almost 6:00 pm. My guess is that the two drink tickets to front desk agent gave me was to accommodate me for the wait I checked my bank account the morning after I checked in only to see that my account had been authorized twice, so holding an additional almost $400 I call the front desk this morning only for the gentleman working to act like ‍ his response was "I see we did authorize your card twice, but it's nothing we can do you have to call your bank." TF?! No apology, nothing poor customer service. I ordered room service and it was HORRIBLE. The salmon mini burgers the buns were soggy and wet from the moisture in the container which lets me know that my food had been sitting, as if the cold rubbery fries didn't signal that. We ordered wings as well and they were cold and barely tossed in hot sauce. Can you say bare minimum! We threw it all out. So that another $30 wasted at Le' Meridian Let's get into this King room. Overall not a bad room for the weekend. Clean and looks to be following COVID protocol as it relates to cleanings. The bed is comfortable ‍ My biggest complaint is that little ass bathroom. Geesh! No tub, which I'm fine with. The shower is mad small (see attached photo) and when and why are we still using pedestal sinks?!! Small and useless, water splashes everywhere, the sinks is draining slow, only a thin self on the wall for your personals (my boo couldn't even put his stuff up there). Now to the toilet...do better! So instead of changing the old toilet seat, the decision was too paint it! I hate it here. At these rates I'm sure replacing a toilet seat cover won't bankrupt you. Well I'm here for one more night, let's see how that goes.

    stay away! my husband stayed there last night to be closer to work due to the snow storm and guess what? came back with bedbugs! currently at the ER getting treating... disgusting and will be exploring possible legal action.

    Broken promises and disappointments
    Timo F.

    Disappointments and broken promises: They earn two stars because the decor, interior design, is comfortable and engaging, the muzak is good, and the hotel was very clean. However, I regret staying here. I was looking for a restorative two days and enjoying the upgrades along with a comfy view of fireworks, but I wasted my time, energy, and money. I will warn people not to patronize this Le Meridien or Marriott until they synchronize Their hotel managerment with their own Marriott reservation phone line, and the falsely advertised amenities. Hotel management really needs to get it together here and demand that they and corporate are aligned. It seems they are basically operating in Uninformed contradiction to one another. From alleged high end products that are advertised throughout the hotel but are nonexistent, to hotel upgrade packages that are completely unavailable even though the outsourced reservation phone line offers and charges you for them. [see photos] Also the hotel staff need to be trained on informing guests about the confusing on-site parking garage instead of just claiming ignorance. *Noteworthy is that there is no food or drink available in the hotel other than between 7AM and 10 AM... Also The hotel has no convenience items like aspirin Which I needed at night. They do have a vending machine with basic beverages and snacks. ------------------Here ends the summary. The following is mostly for my personal record and for sharing with hotel management and corporate. *In order to make this hotel stay worth my while instead of just Watching fireworks from my car, I called the hotels direct line in order to ensure a good view, and I put a lot of time in researching local hotels specifically for this purpose. However the reservation line for Le Meridien/Marriott is outsourced so the people there apparently do not have an accurate or updated menu of what is available at the hotel. I suspected just as the phone operator did that the hotel services would be limited. However I was informed that upgrade packages were available, so I purchased the Lovers upgrade Which was to include chocolate covered strawberry champagne and an American breakfast for two, and I also was promised a room on one of the highest available floors with a view overlooking the national capital. The person on the phone offered this as if it was a certain availability. Needless to say I was initially thrilled, but when I arrived at the hotel , the desk "concierge?" did nothing except offer me to join the rewards program and gave me my card and had me sign the forms. When I got to the room and realized the view was neither on a higher level, nor oriented Toward the capital I was bothered, and thought perhaps the desk worker made an oversight. So I went back downstairs and the manager was there, who gave me the bad news. She did her best by telling me that no such upgrades were available, neither rooms with a better view, nor The food etc. At first she mentioned she could have someone bring up some chocolates and a bottle of champagne to the room, But instead she made me wait 10 minutes while she went into the kitchen herself to get the champagne on ice and two bars of chocolate. Because apparently the hotel only has 2-3 staff working at a time. I'm not sure How "I'm not in a rush " translates into "wait here For 10 minutes so I can make you carry all the stuff back to your room yourself" *I did appreciate the manager being able to take $50 off of my bill for the disappointment, however even though my upgrade it was to include 4 PM late checkout, both of our key cards were deactivated at noon the next day so I got locked out of my room and the gym And had to go to the front desk to get a new key card. *Supposedly there are Malin + Goetz products available as the hotel features ads on all their key cards and free standing setting cards in the rooms. The bath products are a generic " Eco" brand Even in the more expensive room I paid for. The desk staff I have no idea why these ads were up, and no idea about the Malin + Goetz products ... I just got a blank stare. Coffee makers are $10 a night And microwaves or $20 a night. Other hotel guests were angry about this as well as they have recently stayed in the same hotel somewhere else very recently and we're not charge for these amenities. * The elevators are confusing as you have to use three separate elevator banks coming from the parking garage. Also the hotel staff know nothing about the garage which has very few and very difficult to find unreserved spaces . Even though it's in the same building as the hotel they just say "we don't own the garage." even mediocre guest service would have hotel staff learn about the parking garage in order to not make guests arrival a hassle while trying to find a space in the labyrinthine Garage where most of the spaces have a reserved sign and there are no signs whatsoever indicating hotel parking.

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 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.

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.
