My stay at the Holiday Inn Arlington at Ballston by IHG has been a never-ending bad hotel experience. The room was outdated, with peeling wallpaper and a television that only worked when tilted a certain way. Even worse, the shower flooded the bathroom floor every single time I showered, even when I held the curtain closed with my hand the whole time. The experience hit an all-time low point though when I checked out. I asked for a receipt after they charged my card. The receipt total was well over the cost I had booked the hotel stay for months before! The front desk person agreed it was odd, after I showed my email booking with the price I had booked and then compared it to the receipt, but he could not help me. Later that day, I called the manager and spoke with him, at length. He would not listen to me, and he would not take accountability for the mistake. He kept telling me I needed to contact the third-party vendor I booked the hotel through. I called and spoke with a representative.She then put me on hold to speak directly with the hotel. She also had an unhelpful conversation and said the hotel tried to charge me for a hidden parking rate. That I did not agree to pay! When I spoke to the hotel later, they claimed not to charge me for parking. Yet the room rate was still well over what I booked months before. After many conversations back and forth, I have given up on a solution. The only reason I am giving this hotel one star - the site doesn't have a zero star option

Room was fine but not sparkling, ADA shower got water across the entire bathroom floor. Our TV was barely working and I had to call the front desk several times; the issue remained unresolved. The mini fridge was broken and when I called asking someone to fix it in the morning, so when I returned in the evening I could add more food, no one had come. I had to wait while someone was sent, and had to toss all the food that had been there for multiple days that had not kept, it was such a waste of food I planned to eat, and money. Overall disappointed in the amenities, service, and the staff responses.

We spent two nights at this hotel. The property is conveniently located and there’s easy parking at the back of the property. The staff is very nice and polite. The property is old and hasn’t been renovated for a while. Our two rooms both had alarm triggered off randomly during day and night and we contacted the front desk multiple times and was told someone wiould come over to fix but they never came. we couldn’t sleep very well. The staff is very polite when we checked out and complained about it and they waived our parking fee. We appreciate that but we hope they had addressed that issue because You can’t sleep with alarm coming on and off randomly. so that wasn’t a very pleasant experience.

Terrible old hotel.

This Holiday Inn hotel was in terrible condition. There were stains on the carpet, walls, doors, and even the television. What an embarrassment for the employees. This hotel is grossly outdated and in poor condition. The staff was very good and tried to accommodate the best they could.

We stayed for a night as a family. The hotel was kinda outdated but we find it comfortable and clean. I am very keen to the smell and dust but I find the hotel very clean. The pillows are not flat, its soft and fluffy. The area is very close to where we need to visit. The area is close to many restaurants and cafe. Make sure to visit Lute Geute if you're a coffee lover. The lady at the reception was very sweet, i think her name is Fernande... will book again if we need to come back to this area again.
