In the past I have avoided this hotel only because it is the most expensive in Arlington. I recently discovered that I can get a corporate discount for this property. I usually stay at the Hilton next door because it is attached to the National Science Foundation, but the Hilton was booked and it is showing its wear. I booked... more

This turned out to be a frustrating stay at the Westin Arlington. Both air conditioners in our adjoining rooms (one a handicapped accessible one) never gave out cool air; they were more like warm air fans. After two different service calls, the issue was still not resolved. First, the filters were changed – they were filthy. The second time, the... more

I arrived earlier than normal check-in and they allowed me to check in. Everyone was wonderful. The room was perfect and the location was great. There is a Starbucks in the lobby, a Panera across the street and a CVS nearby. The metro was a short walk away. I could not ask for anything else. It was a trip I... more

We stayed 1 night at the hotel to attend a family party with our teen-age son using a senior discount. We had adjoining rooms. We easily found the hotel and received a greeting from the valet. We needed our car again within a few minutes and he showed us where to park. Check-in was quick and the desk clerk answered... more

I have stayed at this Westin several times when traveling to D.C. on business, particularly when doing business with federal agencies located in Arlington. The location is very convenient: walking distance (2-3 blocks) to the NSF building, the Ballston metro stop, and a small shopping mall with a big food court, in addition to several other restaurants located in the... more

We flew into town for a wedding and the wedding party had blocked off rooms in the hotel. We arrived late and ate dinner at the restaurant downstairs. The food was expensive and could possibly be the worst I have ever had. To make matters worse, the service was equally as bad. The following morning we realized that two of... more

Had a decent rate through Hotwire. The hotel is very clean and modern and the staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. As to the intenet access, take a stroll down to the hotel lobby and you pick up the wi-fi from the Starbucks. The valet parking was a little pricey and there is no option to self park on... more

The Westin Arlington is very convenient for business travelers, which is the main reason to stay at this location. If you are a tourist to the DC area, be prepared to drive or take the metro to see attractions. The hotel is convenient to restaurants and a basic shopping mall (Ballston). However, the hotel does not offer anything special and... more

I stayed at the Westin Arlington Gateway for a business trip and while it is a very nice hotel in a lovely city (close to the Metro and many restaurants, as well as a mall with a movie theater and comedy club), they charge astronomical rates for internet access (on top of this, I had to pay for both my... more
