 Our trip purpose was to help our college son get settled into a summer internship in DC. Our room was a king bedroom with separate area including: kitchen, eating area, desk, and pull out couch/TV Service: o Front desk gal when checking in was friendly and helpful: helped me to get set up to obtain credit with the Marriott Rewards program without my asking.  Parking: o Convenient underground parking: safe/ close access  Room: o Very clean, updated, well appointed  Work out room o Very well appointed o Clean, bright  Breakfast (included) o Considering it was very busy when we were there, the staff kept the food well stocked: fresh cooked (scrambled) eggs; large variety of items  Location: o Area seemed safe, not congested around the hotel, for it being DC o Relatively close proximity to the Capitol and all DC attractions Downsides: This isn't really a big issue, but the lobby was small, but this was mainly due to the location which had a limited footprint: most of the hotel was above the lobby. This is typical for an urban hotel in a congested area. Overall, a very pleasant and quality stay. Would definitely stay here again!

“Great Experience at the Residence Inn”

The Residence Inn Arlington Capital View was a wonderful hotel for our 3 night stay in Washington D.C. The hotel is located minutes from the airport and offers a free shuttle to and from that runs every half hour. We had a junior suite that included two king beds and a small kitchenette. I've never had a room with two kings, and our group of four loved that. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen much but if our stay had been longer we may have. The hotel offers a large complimentary breakfast as well. This hotel property is connected to a sister property that includes a bar/restaurant and small coffee shop. One thing that I found disappointing was that their free shuttle to the nearest metro stop, was not reliable. We waited for the shuttle many times and it didn't show at the time expected. One time the front desk tried to tell me it had been there and we missed it, but we were waiting outside at the stop for over a half hour and it never came. We utilized the nearest bus stop (about a city block away) to get to and from the metro train station when the shuttle wasn't on time. The walk was too far to walk to the nearest train station (about 20+ minutes) for our elderly group member. The free shuttle was a quick 5 minute ride. I would and will recommend this hotel to others visiting the area as it was a short 20 minute train ride to the heart of D.C. where most of the sights were located.

“Nothing special”

The hotel is located on a relatively quiet street near Crystal City. However, they charge for parking as if they were in Manhattan. Do yourself a favor and park at one of the garages nearby which is much cheaper than the outrageous $44 fee charged here. The rooms at this hotel are much smaller than normal Residence Inns. The kitchenette is barely usable. On the plus side, the furniture and fixtures here do seem to be higher quality than a lot of the newer hotels. Their website advertises glass showers in the rooms, but I was told those are only available in the handicap accessible rooms. I'm not sure if that's actually true or if the clerk was deceiving me, but the room I received had a regular tub and curtain with a beat up shower enclosure. In short, the rooms are cramped, the advertising is incorrect, and the parking is an outrage.
