I had a mixed experience at The Westin Arlington. The staff, especially Alex and Justin, provided really good service and truly made me feel welcome. However, the room I stayed in was not up to the standard I expected from a Westin, with stained carpets and an old bathroom. Overall, while the service and location were great, the condition of the room left much to be desired.
