long line despite courteous staff.
THREE charges I never made on my checking account that I am STILL waiting to be removed. was not happy with the cost of this place, no breakfast included and having to pay for parking?? Just wrong. :(
Spent a nice long weekend here over Memorial Day Weekend, there’s so much to do, and so many restaurants within a short walking distance. The hotel is great, super clean and the service is awesome, hope to visit again soon!
The Westin is my favorite place to stay when in Ballston. Ballston is such a walkable area and The Westin is perfectly located. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet, providing a restful night after a long day in the Arlington/DC area. Staff at The Westin were welcoming and helpful with any questions I had. Staying at The Westin made my trip to the area even better.

Average
The staff was very nice and overall it was clean. There was water damage in the bathroom on the door, around the sink and a little bit of black mold.
Hotel is nice but the front desk. I felt as nobody waiting in line while people cut the line they ask others to help. Completely ignored as I did not cut the line, interrupt or not a gold member.
I was in Arlington for a Disabled Veterans Conference. When I got the key to my room, it was occupied by someone. I opened the door, and there was a naked gentleman in the bed. I apologized perversely and went back to the lobby. The front desk concierge apologized multiple times and offered me points. I have stayed at your hotel many times and enjoyed every stay. This was really dissapointing.
