Arlo Washington DC
The room was great. Parking is not included and you have to park offsite and pay a nightly fee. The rooftop is only open after four which they did not mention at check-in so I was unable to go look at it the next morning. It’s a great location for getting to and from capital one to see a show.

Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel
I was very disappointed that the room did not have a microwave oven. The sink in the lav was too low also,and when I took a shower the water went from boiling hot to freezing cold without my help…..worst shower I’ve had in a hotel. Room 300 needs work!

The Architect
The facilities were fine. Some businesses nearby, but there's not like a 24-hour CVS or anything, and there is no bottled water in the room, so make sure you bring a filtered water bottle or get water before you settle in for the night.
