Certainly my favorite hotel in the Crystal City area--in all of Arlington, in fact. Easy access to Metro is the major selling point, but also, hotel is very large but feels homey--reasonably modern and well-run. Still has carpeted floors in rooms, which is as it SHOULD be in all hotels. Some specifics: Beds very comfortable although lighter bed covering options would be helpful. Heating/cooling fast and effective. Great water temperature and pressure in sink/shower. Staff are polite and friendly--were able to accommodate a specific request. There was a HUGE event going on the first two days I was there, but once that ended, it became quieter and easier to operate at the hotel. I've been an annual guest and will contiue to be.
