It looks old and in disrepair. The security situation was kind of scary as I was in a room that dead-ended at the end of a long corridor. My neighbor (who ended up being a nice man) arrived immediately behind me last night and scared the crap out of me. Similarly a hotel employee knocked on the door late at night asking whether my TV was working. Felt unsafe.

The stay at the ARC Hotel Washington DC was a mixed experience. The room itself was pretty clean, and the staff were very friendly and responsive. Anytime we needed something, they brought it quickly, and maintenance came right away to fix the TV when the sound wasn’t working. However, there were a few issues that made the stay less comfortable. The bathroom smelled like urine for the first two days, which was unpleasant. The bed was also not very comfortable. Another big issue was the temperature in the room. The hotel uses a one-pipe system, so the air conditioning was not available yet for the season and the heat was still on. We were told to open the window, but there was nothing to hold it open, and one of the windows actually popped out of the frame when we tried. Overall, the staff were great and the room was fairly clean, but the comfort issues (especially the temperature and bed) made the stay less enjoyable.

I really liked that hotel was newly renovated and had a nice look and feel. Location is great. A few suggestions: 1) Some staff were super nice and helpful. Others seemed bored and indifferent. 2) The heater in my room was very noisy and the engineer could not fix it. It woke me up at night. 3) The treadmill needs maintenance:-)

Hotel room was clean, the view from the 7th floor was great, all staff members that I interacted with were kind and helpful, and the 24-hour snack area was much needed. I would definitely stay here again for a staycation and would recommend to a friend or family member.

I recently stayed at The ARC and unfortunately my experience fell far below expectations. While I’ve stayed here before, this visit will likely be my last. When I checked in, the water in my room was cold. Maintenance did come up to address it, but after they left there were footprints throughout the bathroom, which made it feel even less clean than when I arrived. Overall, the room did not feel as thoroughly cleaned or prepared as it should have been for a guest. The bathroom layout was also uncomfortable, the air vent is positioned directly next to the shower head, which made the shower experience awkward and unpleasant. I requested to switch rooms due to these issues, but I was told I would have to check out of my room and wait in the lobby until another room became available, with no estimated time given. Because of that uncertainty, I ended up having to stay in a room I was not satisfied with. I was also traveling with luggage and received no assistance from maintenance or staff when it came to moving or handling my bags, which felt like a basic courtesy that was missing. The front desk receptionist did her best to be helpful and accommodating, but even with her efforts, the overall stay still felt subpar. Between the cleanliness issues, the maintenance experience, and the lack of basic hospitality, the stay did not meet the standard I expect. I won’t be returning, and I would hesitate to recommend this property based on this experience.

The property was great and clean- A great value for the price. What stood out to us was a gentleman by The name of Emmanuel. He was extra helpful, friendly, warm, personable and went out of his way to help us with some things we needed to take care of. We have traveled the world and have never had such Amazing customer service. He is what made the hotel stand out. Thank you again Emmanuel 😊

Room was WAY TOO HOT. The temperature was set at 72. Trying to adjust the heating/cooling unit only made the room hotter -up to 78. Opening the windows 2 inches really did not cut it. Called the desk-initially they sent me a portable HEATER-poor understanding at the desk. Called again, the agent was rude. Said I could come down and pick up a fan-I requested they deliver to the room. Otherwise, the room and facility were a bit dated but fine.
