Nice hotel, busy area. Nice park for kids across the street. Excellent variety of eating establishments in the area within walking distance. Close to DC but not too close.

Staff were friendly and on the ball. Very clean. Short walking distance to many restaurants. A big park for kids is across the street. Underground parking garage was very convenient and useful.

Family stay( 3 kids 3,8,10)to visit DC attractions. Close to main road into DC. We had a suite which had kitchen, table fridge and microwave. Nice hot breakfast included. Dominoes pizza right outside. Parking garage was extra but right below hotel. Pool was smaller but fine for us. Will stay here again if in the area.

We enjoyed our stay here. The staff was friendly and attentive; our room was spacious, comfortable and exactly as advertised. The kitchen was decently equipped but for a room that accommodates up to 6 people there were not enough dishes/utensils and the 2 pots included with the kitchen were rather small. Daily breakfast was on par with other comparable chains we've stayed in. Everything was very clean and orderly. I needed a few things during our stay - an extra blanket, extra pillow, and a plunger (!). Each time I texted the Avvi assistant I got exactly what I needed promptly delivered to our room. Also, I really appreciated how quiet our room was! Great location in Arlington; about a 7 minute walk to nearest Metro station. Felt very safe to walk around the neighborhood, even late at night. Great playground across the street from the hotel for kids of all ages!

We were disappointed overall. The location was good but the room was very run down and not cleaned well. There was a used bar of soap stuck to the shower dish, someone must have clipped their nails because those were on the floor too. The cabinets were all scraped and run down. The carpet trim came off and was peeling back. There was a lot of black dirt above the wall vent and something was stuck in the kitchen light fixture. We chose this hotel because it said there was a two queen suite available when I booked it but upon arrival they said it wasn’t available and gave us a king with some roll away beds. They took up the entire family room area and we had to jump over things to get around. I don’t know how people left so many good reviews because our experience was pretty bad.

what I like is the family friendly design and space of this hotel room. However, the room has a weird smell of mold and bleach. The built-in air filter was covered by a layer of dirt.
