Arlo Washington DC
The staff was friendly. The rooms were very clean. We did not eat in the hotel so we can’t comment on that. The location was good. Just a few blocks from the metro. There is a secure parking garage. Overall our stay was excellent!

Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel
The hotel is a bit dated. But location and staff are great. My only one complaint is I tried operator a number of times but there is no one picking up the phone. Not sure why.
