Hotels with Parking in Arlington

Crystal City is not too far from the National Mall. There is a direct subway. The surrounding environment is good, and there is a small cherry blossom park. There is whole food within a 10-minute walk, and you can solve the problem of eating here. The decoration of the hotel is quite satisfactory, the room is spacious at this price, the room service is timely, and the front desk is very friendly. There is a small bar downstairs, which is quite popular. There is a free shuttle bus, you have to make a phone call to pick it up.

Overall this was a lovely hotel and somewhere I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Free parking is a plus in this area, which is definitely not suburban-feeling although it's not in DC proper either. The hotel is a somewhat unique design, on a corner and wrapped around several sides of an above-ground lot and a single level of underground parking, both accessible for guests. Rooms were fresh and clean and well furnished. All the staff I interacted with were pleasant. I stayed for six nights and was quite comfortable. I did request a change of sheets for one bed midweek which never did happen despite the assurances of the front desk that it would, and our keys stopped working at two different occasions during the stay and had to be reissued -- based on what we saw from other guests, the key thing seemed fairly common. Breakfast was high quality and plentiful -- toast, bagels, cream cheese, peanut butter, rotating hot foods (usually sausage and egg/cheese omelettes or an egg patty), two waffle irons w/ normal and strawberry batter, oatmeal, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, various kinds of cereal + milk, doughnuts/pastries, and more. It was available right at the scheduled start time of 6:30am. Seemed to be fully restored to pre-COVID levels. The hotel has an hourly shuttle that runs to the Ballston-MU Metro station, which is otherwise an easy half-mile walk. The neighborhood is walkable and has many restaurants and bars that are just a few minutes from the hotel on foot. In a car, it's about 15 minutes from the hotel to the White House area. DC hotels tend expensive, and this seemed like a good deal for a solid stay in an accessible location. The few annoyances were minor and the benefits of this location were significant. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good price for a DC-area stay.

It’s pretty clean but I found a towel with a stain on it

I went to Arlington, VA recently to participate in Wreaths Across America. I had reserved a room at the Sonesta Select Arlington Rosslyn. I got there on Friday afternoon, checked in and went to the cemetery to spend the rest of the day. When I got back that evening, my sister joined me. We ordered in and had a quiet night in the room. We were up early and checked out by 6:30am so we could get over to the cemetery. We had a great day and a wonderful experience with the Sonesta Select. Imagine my surprise when I looked at my credit card statement on December 31st and there was a new charge for the Sonesta Select in the amount of $250. I immediately went to the Sonesta Select website and inquired what the additional charge was for. I sent a screen shot of my statement showing both charges. (The original room charge on the 18th and the one on the 31st.) I knew with it being New Years Eve, I would not hear back for several days. Imagine my surprise when I received an email yesterday saying the $250 charge was for the room cleaning because we had “trashed the room”!! Now Tim always makes fun of me when we travel because I always make the bed before we leave. I fold the used towels/washcloths and place them on the edge of the tub. True to form, I did just that. I made both beds, tidied the bathroom, emptied the trash cans into the bag that the food we ordered had come in for dinner the night before and even placed the remote back on the TV. I inspected the room before we left to make sure we hadn’t forgotten anything, turned off the lights and shut the door, making sure it locked behind me. I have now sent 3 emails back requesting pictures of the “trashed room” because you know in this day and age, someone took pictures. No response. I have not called them because I don’t trust myself to not get angry or rude with them. I also want a papertrail. I am not sure how to handle this because this is a case of “he said/ she said”. It’s not that $250 is going to break me but I feel totally violated and it’s very shady business. I had planned to use them again next year and was even planning a family vacation there for several days, reserving several rooms…. NOT NOW!! It would crack me up if it weren’t so ridiculous. We are 2 older ladies (55 & 56), hardly party animals. I was so exhausted from all the walking I had done that day and my sister was tired from working all day and then traveling to the hotel, we were both in bed by 8:30pm. So why am I telling you this, because BEWARE!! Obviously your credit card can be charged for anything after you check out. It’s sad that no one will show me any “proof” that I damaged the room and can charge you for anything they dream up. I feel like the next time I stay in a hotel, I am going to have to ask for someone working the desk to come to my room and do an inspection before I leave and give me something in writing that says the room is acceptable.

Service was very limited caused by staff reductions and closed amenities due to Covid19. Apart from that unavoidable circumstances the staff was just as helpful and knowledgeable as should be expected from a property affiliated with the Hilton name. It just took a little longer than usual to get my request fulfilled.

I knew in advance that the hotel was very close to the airport shuttle and the subway station, but I didn’t know that there was a short road to Georgetown. It’s still silly, and the subway and the bus went around the huge circle to Georgetown. The result was almost finished. It was discovered that a bridge was 700 meters away from the Rosslyn subway, and then it was 1 km from here. My Scorpio, I will stay here next time in Washington.

The price was decent but that was it! Pay a little extra and stay somewhere else! Smelly and dated. AC went out for a couple of nights and magically starting working again the morning of check out. Clock radio made static sounds at night and had to unplug it. Room was at the elevator and right across from the ice machine which was horrible with people using it at all hours! Noisy little kids in the hallway early in the morning. Parents need to teach their children that others are sleeping and to whisper. Housekeeping was also noisy in the hall early in the morning.

The room has a microwave and refrigerator, and it is great to take the children to cook for themselves! The hotel comes with free underground parking, parking is very convenient. Very close to the attractions of Washington, it is a good accommodation choice to travel to Washington!

The pros: great location, staff is welcoming and helpful, breakfast was good. Very close to great restaurants, shopping and Metro stop. Easy to walk to any of these. The cons: none significant. FWIW: You have to stop your car at the front and check in to get a parking pass - cost is $35 a day. Not a lot of room for your car while you’re checking in, but they are quick. If you are accustomed to an HGI in a more suburban location where you have plenty of room to park and have some distance from others, you’ll feel cramped here. But it’s a big city and it can’t be helped. Plenty of city noise, but none from the hotel itself.
