Avoid this place if you like good service.
I am a frequent traveler. This is the first time that I stayed at the Residence Inn Arlington Capital View. Customer service is very poor. The front desk staff are stoic and unfriendly. No one smiles. You get the feeling that everyone hates their job and it shows even with the room maintenance people. I had several issues while staying here for 2 weeks, no one answers the front desk telephone during the day or night. When I mentioned this to them after the 4th day I was told, "well, we are very busy down here with other guests." I guess I was not included in the guest service category. Every time I tried to call the front desk I had to go downstairs where there were no other guest waiting. When I spoke to management about the issues, apologized and offered me a free dinner. They promised that they would tell the front desk to answer. When I called the front desk transferred me to the restaurant, no answer, When I called the front desk and told them what happened they transferred me again with no answer so I tried to call the front desk to tell them never mind, but they didn't answer they just kept transferring me to the restaurant who didn't answer. I went downstairs to complain once again about the poor service at the front desk and told the manager that my time here has been a nightmare. His response, "OK." I did not raise my voice, I was very respectful. This is a terrible place to stay!
