Pros:

I loved the staff member that checked me in. She went above and beyond to accommodate me for our one night. I only wish that we were also allowed to enjoy the free breakfast. It was only free for some. I was not included.

Cons:

I was not allowed to have access to the breakfast

Pros:

The hotel was clean and there was ample space for me to sit. I attended a conference and I felt it was handled well.

Cons:

I really thought it was a rip off to have to pay for the internet. Also had lunch on site and the food really wasn't very good.

Pros:

Great staff at check in. Overall great.

Cons:

The bed in room 911 next to the wall was a bit more compressed towards the other bed. You may want to rotate the mattress.

Great hotel close to Metro and downtown Arlington
Pros:

I liked the fact that the hotel is around the corner from the Crystal City Metro station. The station is also accessible via the Crystal City Mall underpass.

The hotel is top-notch, with top-notch front desk, cleaning, bell service, and restaurant/bar staff. It is a short walk from a CVS, a 7-11, a park, and a movie theater.

The restaurant/bar staff were awesome. Kudos to those who waited on us Friday and Saturday night, as well as the waitress and the bartender on Sunday afternoon.

Cons:

It rained on Sunday morning! However, the hotel does not control the weather!

It was kind of hard to find the microwave. My partner and i had to hunt to find it.

Very nice stay, albeit expensive for what you get.
Pros:

The shower was hot, even after all four of us used it. Every staff member we came in contact with were friendly and warm. The room was very clean and you couldn't hardly tell the proximity to the airport. Breakfast staff were wonderful and the food was pretty good, although we felt it was overpriced.

Cons:

The A/C ambient noise probably helped not being able to hear traffic, airport, hotel noise, etc. The bed we had was probably close to needing replaced, as there was a clear human shaped hole on one side of the mattress that caused the lighter person in the bed to roll down into the heavier all night. While I recognize supply/demand and time of year, the parking cost (54 a day after tax) on top of the already expensive 2 night stay, I feel like a discount from the posted daily rate when staying at the hotel would be an incentive.
