I had to stay here on business because DC hotels were mostly booked. I was pleasantly surprised by my stay -- the staff and rooms were both good. The location is not bad, within walking distance of a mall, restaurants, and bars. The hotel is also convenient (enough) to the Ballston Metro stop.

The Westin Arlington Gateway is a terrific hotel outside of D.C. For those of you that won't have a car, it is about three blocks from the Ballston Metro Station and there are several bus routes nearby as well. I myself didn't have a car, so I can't speak about the parking situation but I do know the only option... More

So...this place is famous for their beds and showers which were both awesome! However, their service was very lacking and I would not stay there again. The hotel maids did not refurnish simple things like coffee for the coffee maker, towels, or Kleenex...we had to call and ask for these items. The phone kept blinking and they just came and... More

Yes, I know, everything costs a buck. That being said, could places such as Westin stop "nickle and diming?" First, there's the question of paying $26 to valet park for the night. Then there's the no free wifi in the room. So...find street parking, especially on the weekend. That's what we did. Don't get me wrong. The Westin was elegant... More

I've stayed here a few times over the years and always enjoyed it. Great rooms, nice towels and you have to love the shower heads. They still charge for parking but seem to have stopped charging internet which is a step in the right direction. Staff is very friendly, laundry is horribly expensive. Take the good with the bad.

We recently had to find a hotel very last minute in Arlington. The Westin was able to accomodate us, get us 2 adjacent rooms on a high quite floor, and basically saved our trip. The hotel itself is in a bit of a no-mans land, so don't expect to do much in the immediate vicinity, but the hotel itself is... More

Took a group of high school students to Washington, D.C. The location was great and allowed us to access all major points within a reasonable time. Restaurants in the immediate area were reasonably priced.

Attended a conference at this hotel - and found it to be clean and efficient. My only complaint was having to pay for internet in the room - that is dated. Most good hotels no longer charge for internet - get with the times.

I don't expect luxurious accommodations when traveling on business, but a little honesty and clean bedding seems reasonable. Where to start...I believe this Westin hotel thinks itself much finer than it is. When I arrived, I was forced to use valet parking and was told by the attendant there were no others options...so imagine my surprise when a colleague drove... More

I've stayed here twice this year, and each time there were lots of small things that went wrong. The hotel heat/ac must be hard to control, because our conference room alternated between being hot and being freezing. Last time, I couldn't get my room to be cool. This time they were testing the fire alarms and decided to do this... More
