Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided a hot room with well-proportioned double beds but lacked changing blankets after check out. The service was generally pleasant and helpful, except for an unpleasant experience at the check-in desk. The location was convenient for access to local attractions and restaurants but seemed to charge unreasonably for some amenities. The dining experience had room for improvement with cold food options. Overall, the hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives for guests.
The hotel is conveniently located near the bustling Ballston Mall, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, and the metro. The rooms are clean and nice, but some issues like a malfunctioning front door lock and a too soft bed were noticeable. Service was a mix of overwhelmed moments and brilliant interactions, especially with Alex on reception. The dining experience could be improved by offering more items, but the complimentary breakfast was superb. Overall, a great choice for those looking to relax, unwind, and have easy access to various amenities and transportation options.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel! The location was fantastic, surrounded by a variety of restaurants and just a stone's throw away from a major mall. The service was top-notch, except for a small hiccup during check-in. The accommodations were comfortable but could use a bit more attention to cleanliness. Overall, it's a great choice for the price!
