Close to the mall and metro

The hotel was about a 10 minute drive from Georgetown. The Parking lot was beiing renovated= all parking being valet and costing $12 a night. If I would have known parking was going to be an extra fee I woul have just stayed in DC, which was the sole reason we were staying in Arlington. On the up side Kai, one of the parking attendants was upbeat, prompt and enjoyable to interact with!! The motel is aroun corner from the mall and many places to eat, however, we had a hard time finding places to eat that were open late.

Great Deal

This hotel is walking distance from the Ballston Metro and fit our purposes very well. We pre-paid and got a great rate. Also, the front desk staff was very accomodating and drove us around for free in the hotel shuttle, saving us cab fare to a few short destinations. I'd recommend the the hotel without hesitation.

Great for the price!

Entrance is beautiful. Room is spacious and beautiful. Flat screen TV in room. Service was great. Gift shop with reasonable prices. Pool was nice. Everything was clean(most important thing for me). Within 1/2 miles to I-Hop, Pizza, mall. Metro 1/2 mile away, 10 minute ride to DC. Try rock bottom in the mall. Have a gym wish they had a spa. When I go back again I will book with the them. p.s.

Weekend Getaway

The hotel served the purpose. It was comfortable, relatively inexpensive and gave us everything we needed. We spent most of the day traveling and only came to the hotel to sleep at night. The hotel is close to the metro station which is a big plus.

Good location, close to Metro

Room was clean, comfortable. Supplies (Towels, coffee, etc.) were provided each day. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shuttle took me to Metro when I asked because it was really cold and windy.

Decent hotel for the prices

This is the third time that we've stayed at this hotel and I have no real complaints; having also stayed at the Westin around the corner I can say that the rooms at the HI are actually larger. It's clean (never seen any evidence of bed bugs and I check everywhere I stay) and the staff was very courteous. It's not anything spectacular, no real amenities to speak of, but the location and price are always some of the best I've seen in Arlington.
