Thin walls, loud guests throughout the night, hard to sleep. We also got the wrong size bed when we arrived

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!

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.
