I spent two nights recently on business and was able to sample the rooms, catering and conference space. The guest rooms were well maintained and up-to-date. The catering service was better than average. I attended a sponsored cocktail and hors d'oeuvres function and enjoyed the food. An all-day corporate conference was held in the Westin's second floor rooms which provided...

I have never experienced a hotel with such awesome customer service! As we were checking in to our room, I mentioned to the concierge that we were there for our anniversary. After going out to dinner when we came back to our room, we found a bottle of champagne on ice, some chocolate covered strawberries, and a card signed by...

Service is surprisingly good all over at this Westin. From the entrance, to a very friendly and quick check-in, to every staff you encounter, the service is above expectation. This is a modern hotel. The lobby is very nice, although lacking sufficiant public space to hang around, have discussions or even work. The rooms are modern, clean and the bed,...

This is a great newer Balston area hotel conveniently located several blocks from the Balston metro. The hotel is only about 5 years old. The rooms and club are nice, but, club service is limited on weekends as to be expected due to few business travelers. Their recent rates have become more reasonable in line with some of the competitors....

Absolutely awful hotel. I’ve been staying at Starwood hotels for 12 years and this was one of the worst check in experiences ever. Keys to the room didn’t work, so had to go back down to reception. Internet service was down for 4 hours for all guest rooms, and getting a straight answer from hotel staff as to why and...

Frequent visitor to Arlington as both my children live there. We planned a Mother's Day visit and bought a pre-paid 3 nite stay. Plans had to change and the hotel was totally inflexible about providing any recourse. OK, I get a penalty for one nite stay, but we forfeited almost $400 for all 3 nites. So what's so special about...

Dear SuperSpy, Unfortunately the discount offered on the prepaid rate is available only as a fully paid and non-changeable reservation as stated at booking. However, you can always call the hotel directly or our reservation team to look into other great rates we offer that are modifiable. We understand travel plans change and we strive do our best to accommodate... more

I am a very loyal Starwood fan. Yes, not all hotels are as nice as they once were and every once in a while the service is lacking, but this Westin is one of the best in the Starwood portfolio. I bring middle school kids to the DC area every other year and I frequently am in the DC area...

I stayed here during a final round of interviews with my new employer, and was pleased overall. The room felt clean, the bed slept well, the metro was just a few blocks away, and the huge windows let in great light -- though the view of the construction zone across the street wasn't the most scenic. The cheery staff made...

We wanted a hotel near Arlington Cemetery, and got lucky when Hotwire offered an excellent rate on this great hotel. Very clean room, nice bed, (no sign of bedbugs) and wonderful, efficient staff everywhere in the hotel. There really isn't any choice for parking except to Valet ($22/day plus whatever you tip for ins and outs--very reasonable for DC area)....
