“Excellent Experience with Hotel Staff and Services”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

From the first moment we stepped into Le Meriden Arlington, our experience in all aspects was excellent. Services - like meals delivered to the room, luggage delivery to the room, cleaning services, room service, dining experiences -- were all exceptionally timely and excellent. In particular, I woul like to mention Adeel at the front desk who went out of his way to pay special attaention to our needs since we were a 3 generation family from grandma and mother to our young daughter. At all times, our requests were dealt with professionally, competently and above all with a sense of special care taking. Most of our interactions were with Adeel and I must say his proficiency, his attentiveness and cultural sensitivity to an Indian family were not only exceptional but they were stellar. He nevefr missed a beat. It makes us always want to stay at this Hotel.

Room Tip: The rooms overlooking the river are outstanding.

“Lovely”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

The Le Meridien in Arlington VA - just outside of Georgetown is wonderful. The rooms are beautiful, clean and fresh. The restaurant and bar are convenient and reasonably priced. The staff is gracious and friendly. Nightly wine at 5pm is an added bonus. The location is great. A quick cab to DC or if you prefer the metro - the stop is just a block away. It is pricey but worth the money for beautiful accommodations in the DC area.

“Over priced and terrible beds!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2013

My husband and I stayed here for business. The hotel itself is well kept and maintained. The staff was pretty rude to my husband on almost every occasion he spoke to them. The guys running valet however, where pretty nice. The beds were the MOST awful thing about the stay. I may be spoiled by a nice temperpedic at home, but I've slept in less quality hotels that have all had nicer beds than these. The room is very basic, and not pretty small. The internet (which does cost money to use) didn't work what so ever. The jack on the wall was broke, and we had to switch rooms because of this. The worse part was, the room next door they put us in also had a broken jack. At that point we said forget it, we didn't want to move again. It was walking distance to some restaurants and a cvs, so that was handy, but other than that it would not be my ideal location. I will never stay here again.

“Very Handy. Very Comfortable.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

I stayed for a week and found the hotel to be very comfortable. Little things like the availability of coffee in the lobby in the morning and the choice of newspapers as well as the staff's commitment to helping out and just being cheerful and friendly made the time away from home less painful. The proximity of the Rosslyn Metro stop, a CVS and Safeway also were helpful. Georgetown's fine dining and shopping is just a walk across the Key Bridge away and the paretically adjacent Roosevelt Island is a great place for a morning run/walk. Only warning: if your room has a door to an adjoining room and your neighbors are noisy as mine were on some days you will want to have earplugs.
