A place to stay.

It’s a place to stay. It was clean and the staff were friendly. Affordable and the view from the back patio is beautiful. It’s within walking distance of everything, which was nice. We’d stay here again!

Just an older hotel. Clean but nothing fancy. Wished for a coffee pot in the room. Lots of cobwebs around the windows- could use a good cleaning. For the price and location, I would do it again!

OK

Older establishment. Old cigarette smoke odors will never leave rooms unless a complete rehab is done. Rooms are small, but reasonably comfortable. We choose a room with a view of the river. Very nice. Decent bed.

Find somewhere else to stay

The only good thing about the Arlington is the location. It’s right next to the beach house, which is a river bar they had a great atmosphere and friendly staff. It’s within a five minute walk to the Jett Express. I was also charged twice as much because I moved my room to the lower level and wasn’t told of the additional charge.

The hotel was centrally located to everything we needed on our trip; Fisherman's Wharf, Jet Express, etc. For as much as it costs per night, there could be upgrades done. There were stains on furniture and on the carpet. It needs to be upgraded, and some sort of room freshner would be nice.
