Binio L.

A pleasant surprise! Great value, good hotel. Sometimes, this brand has older facilities barely updated. This one is almost fully renovated. Great common areas, overall great comfortable rooms excellent restaurant and staff. There are few hints here and there of older days (hallways and bathroom tubs, etc). But absolutely worth it for its value. Away from DC but a short ride to it. Overall, I was very happy I picked this location.

Nice room

Nice hotel location in Arlington Virginia. The hotel is clean and spacious. We are here for a conference that has plenty of room for the hundred guest. The food service is amazing pasta buffet, salad bar, mini desserts and bar stations are available. There are nearby bars, restaurants, and shopping. Walking distance to the subway that'll get you to DC cheaper than an Uber in about the same time! I haven't made it to the indoor pool yet, but I hear it is nice. Also, the hotel restaurant/bar menu looks good along with their room service options!! Another thing I find important is the showers! Here they get a 10!! They have a large showerhead that rains over the top of your head or option of a hand wand both have powerful water flow, and most importantly, hot water at all times! Another wonderful feature is the shampoo, conditioner, & body wash with white tea extract to add a little something more to your experience-that is hanging inside the shower, easy accessible!! Love it! I have a few more days to explore more!!

I just attended a 2-day conference there! I have to admit my favorite part was the chocolate chip cookies they served at break. They were amazing! :) All the staff that work there are incredibly nice. I was really impressed. I did get a little lost finding it from the Ballston metro. Once you know where to go, it's a short walk. Probably about five minutes. I definitely look forward to going there again.

This is less than what I expect from a 4 star hotel (and the price). The best thing was the apple cinnamon elixir at the check in. It's available as welcome drink at the lobby for free. House keeper comes everyday and threw away too many things. Towels were added everyday and never taken back (5 days so it's quite a lot piled up in the room). Also they came in anyway to do the restroom despite saying "do not disturb". As a Marriott member you get a free bottle of water in the room. My room doesn't have breakfast included but there was a room service card you can fill in for a room service breakfast. Great area for restaurants and shopping centers nearby.

Hotel is beautiful but showing some wear and tear. The bottom of the bathroom door looked like it had water damage. The parking garage was a little confusing to get to the hotel after parking. We ended up in an office building across the street. The room itself is clean and had a scent of lavender lemon and eucalyptus every time we walked in. They had a relaxing balm next to the bed, that I want more of. A few things I did not like was that you need to exit the elevator for rooms and hop on a completely different elevator to get to the garage. I also saw the same room service tray in the hall way the entire stay. I was celebrating my birthday and went to the bar that was attached to the hotel. We felt like the bartender rushing us out before 11.... But I saw the bartender pouring drinks and bringing out bottles to another group of people. Made me feel like we weren't welcomed there.

See how bright it was

Leaving this review to share my experience at the Westin Gateway Arlington. My wedding reception accrued on Oct 08, 22. We booked the venue around Feb 22. Since the beginning, the process was hard for even Ekaterina the events Manager who tried to help but there is so much " hotel Policy" and we can not do that! Talking about parking, guest staying in the hotel discount, getting suite early to get ready Etc. the main problem happened on the wedding day, ( the room was bright as daylight) as I booked the ballroom for a conference, not a "wedding party" So I reached out to the DJ to dim the light which I thought they can control, they did reach out to the hotel to dim the light but the hotel did not dim the light. We tried multiple times during the night to fix this but didn't happen. The answer always was " yes we will fix it " but nothing happen until the end of the event. A few days later I contacted the hotel about the unconsumed alcohol, the hotel agreed to refund that part. I also asked about the lighting, the hotel was represented by Raza, the manager that night and Ekaterina refused to take any responsibilities and referred me to the Area Manager, Jim Perrin, I sent him an email to explain everything in detail about that night. I called him twice trying to talk to him in person, he responded to the email a few days later saying that the refund from the unconsumed alcohol would " resolves any issues" which is absurd. I gave up and called Marriott customer service to submit a complaint, they inform me that I will hear back from them within a week. A week pass by, and I called again, and they told me that the hotel solved the problem by refunding me! They meant that they refund me the unconsumed alcohol money ... Big WOW. I asked the gentleman from customer service to call the hotel to hear that from them. the guy in the customer service did his best but had no luck solving the problem. The hotel did not want to take any responsibility or compromise I encourage anyone reading this review to go somewhere else

A TV with Netflix. All I need.

I think this hotel probably does have some customer service issues. I'm not sure what's going on there and I try to be mindful of the lack of workers/stress/etc going on because of the pandemic. But our stay began waiting half an hour for our room to be cleaned. I was supposed to meet clients in our room, so this was actually a major inconvenience. But I mean, I guess the room was cleaned so...it could be worse? I'm an rabid optimist. There's a garage with a fee for parking. I have parking anxiety and I panic any time there's not just a huge, open parking lot with no cars in it. If this is also you, have someone else drive. We booked a suite. It's not a huge suite, but enough for just a weekend. I chuckled when I saw the little sanitary remote sleeve because before I left, one of my clients mentioned the filthiest thing in a hotel room is the remote. I thought the bathroom was a little lacking, with a closet-like bathroom, but I don't like showering anyway and avoid it at all costs, so not a huge deal to me. I prefer tubs on vacation, which a friend of mine advised me "is so gross." I advised her I'm a rebel. We checked out the gym area and my 61-year-old husband knocked on the glass to show the young guys lifting weights his muscles, then went in to show them how "it's really done." Things like this don't embarrass me any longer and I just made eye contact with one of them and shook my head. It appeared to be a nice facility. The pool area is hot, but our son loved spending time in the pool and that's all that matters. I sent my husband down to get me dessert from the restaurant because they all sounded so fabulous, but they didn't have any of them, apparently because of the pandemic. I was disappointed, but it's not a huge surprise or big problem when there's so many nice restaurants in the area. The best part about this suite was that it had a doorbell. I've never seen a room with a doorbell. I asked the front desk guy downstairs about it and inquired if perhaps there were friends we could rent to come ring the doorbell so I could feel important or maybe he could just send up housekeeping to ring it just to get the full experience of a hotel doorbell. He didn't think I was cute. There are vouchers for a Starbucks breakfast in the morning, I think around $20. It's connected to the hotel. The staff there is great and I eat an apple for breakfast every morning, so $20 was more than sufficient, even though their coffee is what--$6 a cup? Good dietary options. I got the little egg cups. I wouldn't refuse to stay again, but would probably look for another hotel in the same area first. It's lovely area--laid back, the people are fabulous, there's a variety of places to walk to--anywhere from a church to a Target to restaurants. Arlington is a super place to be!

See all

Housekeeping left my room at 89 degrees in the middle of winter for no reason. I couldn't sleep.

This is a great location in Arlington literally steps away from the Ballston/MU metro line. The…read morehotel is well maintained, clean rooms and bathroom with Crabtree and Evelyn products. I liked that the room was equipped with microwave and fridge. As a diamond member I was upgraded to their executive level room which gave us access to their lounge. The lounge had a nice coffee machine that made cappuccino, espresso, cold brew and many other options. It was well stocked with soda, bottled water and some snacks throughout the day. No alcohol. Morning breakfast was a lavish hot buffet. The staff is great especially Sahai. They have some hot appetizers in the evening from 5-7 pm and managers reception on Tuesday evening. Self Parking is $24 per night and you can have in n out privileges with room key.

A convenient location. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. But otherwise, this was a…read moresub-par Hilton experience. There was a musty, chemical smell in the hallway of my floor during my entire stay. There were fans blowing into one of the rooms at the far end, apparently it had been flooded. One of the pillow cases was dirty when I checked in. It looked like it had mascara on it. The pillow case was not replaced even after I repotted the problem to the front desk. It was surprising to see that the bath/shower had shampoo and conditioner but no body wash. On one morning, housekeeping left a big puddle of water on the bathroom floor. The hotel bar/restaurant closes relatively early at 10pm but fortunately there is a 24-hour IHOP directly across the street.
