Accommodation in Arlington
 

We are coming from England to spend 5 days in Arlington. Could anyone recommend any reasonably priced small hotel/b/b?<BR><BR>Last year we were v disappointed with a booking we had made for a small hotel in Washington. For $120 room it was v poor. We had booked online and it looked fine.

<BR>Does the hotel have to be in Arlington? If you can expand your borders a littlke I really like using Quikbook to reserve rooms in the DC area. Never been disappointed with one of the hotels they use and you can get some great rates.<BR>

<BR>One question, sophie, is whether or not you will be renting (hiring!) a car. You will probably get a better response if you post your question with the Washington D.C. keyword instead of Virginia.

Sophie - I have stayed several times at the Quality Inn Iwo Jima in Arlington. It is about a 10 min walk to Rosslyn Metro Station, and was clean, safe, and reasonably priced. The surrounding area, while safe, does not offer a lot to do. The hotel appears to be part &quot;motel&quot; (rooms opening to outside corridor and/or parking lot) and part &quot;hotel&quot; (multi-floor, inside corridors). Nearer to the Rosslyn Metro station is a Hyatt, a Holiday Inn, and Best Western Key Bridge. There is a Marriott, and also &quot;Virginia Suites&quot; nearby. You probably would not walk from the Metro to Qual Inn with luggage, but for regular trips it would be ok. The first three of the other hotels I listed might be ok with luggage if you don't have too much. There is no X in my REAL eddress.<BR><BR>

The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City might have some promotional room rates. ( I know, I know, Ritz-Carltons are usually pricey). But it wouldn't hurt to check to see if anything in your budget range is available for your travel date.<BR>The Pentagon City Ritz sits directly atop a Metro station and is connected to a shopping mall. The Metro will get you to most of the museums and monuments in and around Washington DC.<BR>There are restaurants a very short walk away ( and also one or two inside the shopping mall).<BR><BR>
