Vacation rentals near United States Naval Observatory

Great place with super friendly staff. The gentleman at the front desk helped us change our room because i booked the wrong one. Favorite place we stayed on our trip.

Very welcoming desk and bell staff. Nice rooms, very comfortable for our 4 day stay.

I've stayed at this location for work a few times. If you need a clean, less expensive room in Ballston/Arlington, this is your best bet. It is not a traditional hotel. So if you want fresh towels every day, a hotel restaurant and bar, feel free to pay $200 more per day down the street. A bar or restaurant isn't really necessary anyway, since you are within a short walk to about 30 options in Ballston. What you will get is what amounts to an apartment. Each unit has a full kitchen. It also has a washer/dryer. I was able to wash my clothes before I left, which was a huge convince. They also have a rather elaborate workout area, complete with treadmills, elliptical machines, kettle bells, free weights and even a bench. They also have a nice lobby area, and a pretty sizable market where you can buy water and other options at any time of the day with a credit card. Oh, the staff is great! Be warned. The lower part of the building is student housing for a local university, so you will encounter 20-somethings, and possibly deal with noise on the weekends. Really, I only have two complaints. They require you to fill out a bunch of info and scan a photo id before you arrive, which was mildly annoying considering they ask for your ID at the front desk. My only other complaint was that they didn't have cleaning supplies for residents to clean up for themselves, which would be nice since service is not everyday. That honestly is about as minor a complaint as you can get.

What an absolute dream of a hotel! They had NPR playing on the radio when I arrived, then later came by for turn down service, complete with classical music, a bottle of water, and chocolates. Divine!

The staff was extremely friendly! especially the gentleman who took the time to help me get checked in from my app. Rooms were very large with beautiful modern furniture. The hotel provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. I love that we had extra towels and blankets. Complementary shampoo and conditioner had a lovely scent. To be aware Parking is off site many places advertise $15 but with over night parking it’s about $22 a day. VERY IMPORTANT For check in it’s all with the sonders app after booking with Hotels.com Sonder will send you a email make sure you down load app and Register so you can receive your code to open the main building doors and your room.
