Residence Inn by Marriott Arlington South

Location was ideal and still quiet

Clean and cozy! I stayed in a studio suite and it was wonderful. It was great having a kitchen to be able to use.

Great! Parking was a bit troublesome on the night we were there .

Very clean

The bed

We love this hotel the stuff was great room was nice and breakfast was great will stay again

It was located only 10 minutes away from my family. My room was a clean, handicap accessible room, which I enjoyed. The breakfast was convenient especially when we had to leave at 6:30a to make the graduation on time. The front desk staff lady was absolutely a joy. The amenities were nice - we were able to iron our dresses and dry our hair. The staff got us clean towels after our pool sessions and were very helpful with tissue boxes when I suddenly got sick with a head cold. I was able to make hot ginger tea and I loved storing my restaurant and family dinner take-home in the fridge!

The first time we went to enjoy the pool, the staff hadn’t cleaned from an earlier pizza pool party - the water was very chlorinated but had hair and fuzzies floating in it. In my room, though it was spanking clean, I met a 2-inch water bug who showed me his flight capability on my first night. My 1st time eating breakfast, the attendant wasn’t very friendly - I avoided her; and I wished you had a short order cook along with the buffet so I could get better eggs. We went on and bought dishwashing liquid and invented a dish rack after someone cleaned our room but started the dishwasher with our 1 pod when we weren’t finished making dirty dishes. We gave you all the dish liquid. Lastly, the shampoo, conditioner, and soap dispensers would fall from their Velcro perches into the tub, and one of the spigots snapped off when it fell and was unusable afterwards.

The staff were friendly and accomadating. The room

Once we checked in and got to our room, we learned the main door would not close. I called down to the front bc we were trying to leave and was told someone would be right up. 1.5 hrs later I had to cancel my plans while I was still waiting on someone. While waiting there was an awful smell in the kitchen. There was left over food in the disposal from the previous people. I asked the maid across from my room if she had anything to put in it or to get it out. She replies with "ok" and walked off. Once the door was fixed and we left, we came back to the door buzzing & my key not working. I was able to turn the handle and just open the door with no key. Someone could have easily walked in while I was gone.
