“Depressing hotel with smelly rooms”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

I got here for business and decided to stay at the hilton due to its location (which is great). Upen arrival, the frist room I got was smelly (probably bleach) and had the view of a prison yard (the roof of the second floor was accesible from my window and surrounded by walls). I asked to switch rooms (I was going to stay there for 3 nights) and got another room on the same floor which also smelled like bleach (much stronger smell this time). After opening the window and waiting half an hour I went down again to the front desk and asked for a different room. Out of desperation (It was getting late) I even offered to pay for a club room if needed). Eventually I got a room on the 4th floor which didnt smell. The front desk people were actually very nice in doing all the switches.

The overall atmosphere is really depressing, which makes sense for a mostly business hotel. the bar/restaurant is very bad. I had dinner there one night (burger) and was very sorry I did that. The burger (how hard is that?) was as bad as it gets. The hotel is very old and feels like it could use some renovations. For the price I paid (close to 200) I expected something nicer than that. The room service was lacking. The coffee kit was not refilled and when I called the frontdesk about it in the morning they said 'its coming right up' and it didnt come right up. Or at all.

I would not stay here again! Even if it means I need to take a metro in the morning. I would not stay here again.

Room Tip: stay away from the 3rd floor.

“Improvements”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

Stayed at the Hilton December 2-8 while my spouse took a week long training class. After reading reviews, we were prepared to make due with an ice bucket (no fridge) and pay for internet access. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the Hilton has added small refrigerators to their rooms! Also, they had free wi-fi available in the guest rooms. Both of these features helped make our stay extremely comfortable and convenient.

King sized bed was comfortable and the room was spacious although the bathrooms are on the small side (the door almost bumps into the toilet when opening the door). Only complaint on noise is that the doors are set to close/slam automatically when you let go of them. All through the evening we heard repeated door slams as guests aren’t paying attention to hold the door and close it quietly.

All in all, this was a great location for easy Metro access, plenty of food choices and comfortable for the whole week. Would definitely consider staying here again.

“great place to stay near Washington DC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

this hotel is beautiful, the staff is friendly, helpful and efficient...the rooms are clean and comfortable and the price is usually very affordable - there is absolutely nothing to complain about....If you need someplace to stay when visiting DC it is only a couple of metro stops from the center of Washington and so much less expensive than the hotels inside the city...we have stayed there many times and have never been disappointed

“Adequate Business Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

I stayed here for two nights with my 14 year old son. The hotel is very close to a metro station and that made it a good base for my son and I to go into D.C. The beds were comfortable and the room clean. On the down side, the hotel atmosphere was lacking in warmth. This is a business hotel first and foremost. It is in the heart of downtown Arlington. If I had it to do over again, we would have stayed in D.C.

“Pricy but Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

I have frequented this property over the past several years (I may have reviewed it before). Although the rooms are a bit pricy, the service is outstanding! The staff members are friendly and go above and beyond to ensure that guests enjoy their stay. The location is convenient - it is adjacent to the Ballston Metro stop and attaches via skywalk to Ballston Commons mall. Wheelchairs are available (free of charge) to guests with mobility impairments. There are only a couple of things that I would change about this property: (1) include refrigerators in the rooms and (2) don't charge for in-room Internet access.

Room Tip: Rooms on the 7th floor give you access to the Executive Lounge, a comfortable place to relax and hav...
