I stayed here while visiting family in Arlington. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the Ballston Metro station, which was convenient. The staff were friendly, the room was good, and noise from the highway wasn't an issue. The lobby and hallways are somewhat run down.

Everything was great. The shuttle to the metro was great, but the short walk back from it was easy and in a nice area so don’t worry if you miss it. The staff was helpful and engaging which was nice, they didn’t just check you off the list and move on.
