The George Washington University Inn

I was really disappointed with my stay at The ARC Hotel. My first room had a TV that didn’t work and a phone that didn’t work either. To their credit, they moved me to another room, but the replacement room wasn’t much better because the bed was extremely uncomfortable. I came here to relax and get some rest, but instead I left feeling worse than when I arrived. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable hotel beds I’ve ever slept on. While I appreciate the staff changing my room, the overall experience did not meet my expectations. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

The absolute WORST Marriott hotel in the country- DO NOT STAY THERE!

This is a small, vintage boutique like hotel, located just blocks from EVERYTHING: shopping, public transit, groceries, pharmacies, etc. I and my friend are seniors, and he with some mobility cautions, and we were able to walk to all of these places (there are also spots & readily available places where u can sit to catch a breath). The rooms are not contemporary, but well kept, up to date, very clean & comfortable. BUT...THE best things about our whole visit were KOSTA (the Doorman,) and TRAVIS (Front Desk). They were SOOO NICE, accommodating and just plain fun! They made us feel so welcome & important, no matter how many questions we had, or how many times we asked them! 🤭😁 They gave us detailed directions, Kosta insisted on escorting us to our room and making sure we got settled & had all we needed,) and Travis was/is a wealth of knowledge about,not only DC & the surrounding areas, but current events & historical tidbits! They made us want to hurry back so we could share our adventures with them! Kosta & Travis are who we'll be looking for when we visit DC again! And, while they were who we associated more, the ENTIRE staff at the ARC were just top notch, from the room staff to front desk & lobby. I HIGHLY recommend this cute, neighborhood hotel.
