Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"I appreciated that since they didn’t have a pet free floor for allergies, that they deep cleaned the room for me before arrival."

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I came to Washington DC for a night to go to a baseball game and picked the Arlo for a combination of its location (~30 by train to the ballpark) and price. We were all blown away by our experience! The staff were so kind, rooms were comfortable and came equipped with everything we could need, breakfast at the hotel was tasty, and the hotel was so cute! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area."
