Residence Inn by Marriott Arlington Ballston

Front desk staff was amazing, answered numerous questions perfectly and were always helpful and happy. Any other staff there we encountered was the same. Very clean and super convenient to food, shopping etc.

Parking is expensive but that goes with the territory. Car was kept in two level garage and was not messed with by anyone. Pool closed at 9 which seemed early but again wasn't a deal breaker.

Good breakfast. Loved the hot potato sides. Having 2 waffle makers definitely helped. Extra counter area to take care of hot drinks at any hour of the day. Across from a splash park. Parking in a garage that had access to hotel elevator.

Wished there was a better view of the city monuments. Parking spaces were extremely tight.

Everyone in my party (three generations) was satisfied with the breakfast. Fruit was especially tasty.

Very slow in responding to our need for extra towels. The baby vomited. We cleaned it up but had to use all of our towels. I told the front desk but nothing happened. We called housekeeping later and they brought only 2 bath towels. There were five in our party.

Excellent staff. Excellent breakfast. Decent location (4 blocks to DC metro)... Good small-ish kitchen if needed. Had to ask for housekeeping, as room was never cleaned automatically. Nice indoor pool, but no whirlpool as was indicated in advertising and signage at the hotel.

Room was spacious and bed was really comfortable. Location was perfect. Staff was friendly. Shower was perfect, the water pressure was insane. Haven’t used a better shower in a hotel. Loved the self serving alcohol station, super cool addition. I would definitely stay here again, hotel is beautiful.

Sink in the bathroom had an awful smell, not sure what it was but it smelled like something rotting. Room was really great overall though so I just ignored this.

The location was great! Could walk to restaurants and the Metro.

The only major issue was the room. The bed was very uncomfortable! The pull out sofa was terrible! The room just needed some repairs done to it as well.

it’s a beautiful and modern hotel with great facilities. the location for us was perfect as we were visiting friends who live in Arlington. It’s about 20 mins from DC central station. We had a great view of the mall.

the pool opening hours. I chose this hotel because of the pool and I could no use it because they open the pool at 11 am and we had to leave before 11 so that was a bummer. I wish they opened it at 9 am instead.

The staff at the front desk was great. The hotel is in a premier location in the heart of Ballston, within walking distance to great bars, amazing food and overall a great time all around. My room was huge and matched the photos exactly and I am already planning to return in January since I have another trip to Arlington and the hotel did not disappoint.

great location. very clean. lovely property

very bad check in experience. didn’t have our reservation even though I had every email and confirmation. it took 20 minutes or longer to check in. really not good. but we overlooked that bad experience and enjoyed the hotel very much.

Awesome breakfast, clean room, great location, friendly staff.

We were in room 617. The ac was very loud when it came on, and the angle of the vent was so that the cold air dropped right on our face when we were in bed. I had to constantly wake up to cover my head so that I didnt freeze.
