Excellent for business in the area

Great, the only caveat, you need to be careful when approaching from the east, if you miss the hotel entrance you can end up on 66 East.

Affordable location, close to Metro

This Holiday Inn exceeding my expectations from prior stays at this chain. The rooms were clean and efficiently-designed, with an excellent work area. The hotel is close to the Ballston Metro stop, which is about 15 minutes from the main D.C. tourist locations. It is probably an ideal local for business travelers with meeting in the Ballston area. For families, the quick trip into D.C. by the Metro would offer a good trade-off between convenience and cost.

Two overnight stays while on a business trip. I found the staff frendly and helpful. The location was close to the Metro which I used to travel conveniently into Washington. The hotel was quiet and very clean.
