Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We had one room booked, but the first room we were given smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, so we refused it. The second room had an overpowering pet odor, so we had to refuse that one as well. The front desk upgraded us to a suite, which was thankfully acceptable. Unfortunately, housekeeping later left the door to our suite ajar after cleaning. We were lucky nothing was stolen. Staff were polite and tried to make things right, but the experience raised concerns about both cleanliness and security.

Great location, older hotel. Smelled like cigarettes as soon as you walked in and also on our floor (3rd). There was a crib left in our room and urine in the toilet. The toilet did not work. We were moved to a different room.

This hotel is a very affordable option for those wanting to visit Arlington or DC. It’s less than a mile from the metro - walking distance to the heart of Ballston. Room was clean and comfortable. It was reasonably quiet. It’s great if you are just looking for a place to sleep. The only two issues that keep this from being a 5-star for me are parking and elevators. Parking is tight and if you get in late, you have to park underneath the building. I felt relatively safe, but it looked sketchy. There are 2 elevators, but one was broken and and the other was slow. Very slow. During breakfast hours, I waited for 10 minutes. I eventually gave up and took the stairs. The stairs are weird, too. Couldn’t tell which floor to get out - and eventually exited to the outside and walked around to the lobby.

Unexpected charge at check-in. I had called ahead for early check-in and was told that that would be fine. They could let me in at 12 o’clock. I showed up at 12 o’clock And was asked for $35 for an early check-in. I asked to see the manager and said that he know what he told me about this when I asked for early check in. They finally let us in about 130.

Only one of two elevators were working. Hallways smelled of cigarette smoke. Way over priced. Bathroom too small you bump into door trying to get to tub or toilet.
