Holiday Inn Arlington at Ballston by IHG

Mimi was extremely kind, pasionable...

Liked: My debit card was charged twice for accomodation, despite having paid directly VIA BOOKINGS.COM. I am still trying to get a refund for this
Disliked: The curtains were dirty, the hotel reeked of cigarette throughout, made it very difficult to breath. My room was facing the street, so very noisy from the traffic and next to lift and ice making machine. I am a very light sleeper so every noise woke me up. I requested to move but was advised the hotel was busy. i stayed in 612, please check the blinds, they are dirty and turned brown....

Very poor

Not what I expected and...

Liked: The room maintenance was subpar, some electrical outlets did not worked, and in the four night we were there they only clean the room once.

I wouldn’t stay again

Liked: Location was good with a metro stop a short walk away which goes into DC. Food was good if a very limited evening menu and breakfast was excellent.
Disliked: The room was shabby and the air con control was broken so temperature could not be controlled. A fan in the bathroom was permanently on which disturbed sleep. Avoid room 925Not worth the money paid for the room

convenient

Liked: location location location location for sure. The overall facility in terms of rooms and elevators sure could use an upgrade.
Disliked: location

Paying for the location, definately...

Liked: Paying for the location.
Disliked: The white sheer curtains were rimmed in black. Probably because they were hanging over the heater/ac unit. I think that these could be washed once a decade. Made me feel skeevy about the cleanliness of the rest of the room

Exceptional

Passable

Bad experience with high price

Liked: Location
Disliked: Staff unhelpful, unclean location, very old and beaten down, way to pricey for what they have to offer, no dinner options other than bar food
