    The Westin Arlington Gateway is a decent hotel near Lyon Park Community Center... After sending a request through the chat 48 hours in advance as a Titanium elite member, I never got a response from guest services or the front desk... After arriving at the hotel, I was not given the promised room since it was not ready yet, and I was given a downgraded room... Also, I had to remind the front desk agent of the kind of offer I made the reservation to ensure that all details were considered... Regardless, I was happy to get to the room, change, and head to the wedding... Finally, I would recommend booking a room using the Park rate...

    The Westin Arlington Gateway is a decent hotel near Lyon Park Community Center. We had a chance to stay in this hotel for a wedding and had mixed experiences before and during our stay... After sending a request through the chat 48 hours in advance as a Titanium elite member, I never got a response from guest services or the front desk... Around noon, I decided to call; a front desk agent coldly answered the call... After arriving at the hotel, I was not given the promised room since it was not ready yet, and I was given a downgraded room... Also, I had to remind the front desk agent of the kind of offer I made the reservation to ensure that all details were considered... As I returned to the hotel the following day, I found out later that I had to be given a meal voucher to use in the restaurant... I returned to the front desk, and the issue was solved... Brian and the front desk person on early Sunday were able to assist with some of my requests, and I appreciate their assistance in one way or another, regardless of the other shortfalls... It would be great to have consistency in customer service, so this place can indeed be a Westin property... It includes breakfast for two and a self-parking fee (usually $38 per night)... Other than such facts, I hope that training in customer service can be improved and restore this property to its higher brand name standards...

    Good hotel for business, comfortable beds, good climate control, fridge in room. Well located for business in Arlington’s Wilson Blvd... The hotel bar makes good drinks and serves good food if you’ve had a long day, and there are lots of food options nearby if you want to go out... One thing that could make this top tier would be a bathrobe in the room...

    The Westin Arlington Gateway is a decent hotel near Lyon Park Community Center... After sending a request through the chat 48 hours in advance as a Titanium elite member, I never got a response from guest services or the front desk... Elite benefits don't seem to matter, depending on who you speak with... Also, I had to remind the front desk agent of the kind of offer I made the reservation to ensure that all details were considered... Regardless, I was happy to get to the room, change, and head to the wedding... As I returned to the hotel the following day, I found out later that I had to be given a meal voucher to use in the restaurant... Brian and the front desk person on early Sunday were able to assist with some of my requests, and I appreciate their assistance in one way or another, regardless of the other shortfalls... It includes breakfast for two and a self-parking fee (usually $38 per night)...

    ...The hotel lobby and room was fine - no issues or problems, clean and the bed was comfortable... I arrived right at 11am, and "Passion" at the front desk told me that check-in started at 3pm and I could just leave my bags... When i pushed back, she looked up my reservation and found that there WAS an available room after all...

    This place looks impressive from the lobby, and the front desk staff was very nice... 5) The shower water pressure and temperature fluctuated greatly during our showers... The pillows are very squishy so we ordered more delivered to our room...

    This Westin at Arlington gateway is one of the most amazing hotel experiences I’ve had. From the front desk staff to the cleanliness of the room, I would recommend this to any of my friends and family... 10/10 would come back again and thank you for making my stay feels like home and enjoyable...

We stayed one night for a few family events. It is a well located- took us just 10 minutes to drive to each of 3 different locations. We liked that it was also walkable to some restaurants and shopping. The room was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful--especially Unnati and Jimena. Mari was helpful with our reservation. Several other family members also stayed there at the same time and liked the hotel.

Stayed for the first time, one night this week. This hotel is tired. Perhaps short staffed as well. The carpet in the halls is 3-5 years past replacement time. The rooms are OK, but need an update. The bed was comfy and I slept well. The HVAC can be run ON which is great.

My stay at this hotel was fine except for the filthy room (stained carpet, dusty fixtures, haphazardly fitting sheets, and disgusting toilet). I didn't make a fuss while I was there, as I was too busy. But afterwards, I told the hotel about it and asked if they'd like to see the photos I took. They offered a canned, seemingly insincere apology for the cleanliness of their room but expressed no interest in the photos. All very unacceptable, in my opinion. I would expect better from the Westin.

Arrived at the hotel late one evening (22:30) and was informed that my room had been cancelled by their Director of Operations. They claimed that they communicated this to Booking.com who had no record of this. The worst part was that the gentleman on the reception was less than helpful, informing me that this was "not their fault, and there was nothing they could do". After many hours I was forced to look into an alternate and at 1am found somewhere about 7 miles away. I will not return, and would encourage guests to consider whether your booking is actually valid.

We would like to express our appreciation for the excellent service provided by Mr Jing Xiaoming . Mr Xiaoming took a very negative situation and turned it into a positive one in order to accommodate our stay. He was most attentive to our concerns and took ownership of the problem and corrective action. Mr. Xiaoming is an asset to The Westin Arlington and the Marriott Corporation. Because of him we will definitely return to the Westin on our next visit to Arlington. Thank you Mr. Xiaoming, you went above and beyond the call of duty!

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at, the rooms are huge so there is plenty of space we were on the 5th floor so had an amazing view. The bed is massive and so comfortable. Staff were all so friendly and helpful. Loved the added bonus of getting a Starbucks every morning. Will definitely stay here again

Very well situated hotel but the beds were horrible. They are too soft, and soft in the sense that they are worn out and old. Besides that, the experience was good, the staff were friendly, the rooms and property were clean. Please just update your mattress.
