5/5 Excellent
"Everything was great "
A verified traveler stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Washington DC - Crystal City
"Enjoyed our stay. The reason for being there was a little sad as we had to bury my Mother in Arlington. But the staff was great. Jason at the bar watched out for us the first day as our room wasn't ready at 4 pm. He kept going up to the front desk to keep checking.
We scheduled a brunch at the restaurant on the day of the funeral. George really worked with me on the menu. The food was excellent and everyone commented on the quality of the food and the service. Really nice job.
Thanks much,
C.J. McCarthy"

"Very nice breakfast area and clean room. Friendly staff. Very fine restaurants across the street. Low price. But a bit aged and worn-down place overall. "
A verified traveler stayed at Days Inn by Wyndham Arlington/Washington DC
"I stay at this hotel annually for a conference. This year was a particularly good experience. The breakfast eggs were fresh and plentiful (my favorite). Our room was very clean; the housekeeping staff were EXCELLENT. Very attentive and responded promptly to every request (tissues, towels, dish soap) with a smile! I highly recommend this hotel."
