My experience at Placemakr Arlington was disappointing, primarily due to their disastrous parking situation. During my first stay, I entered the garage behind another patron, assuming it was fine since I’d paid for parking and intended to check in and display my pass. Instead, I was scolded by staff, but no one explained the proper procedure: calling the front desk for garage access. On my second and final stay, there were no parking spots near the hotel—neither on Glebe Road, nearby streets, nor in front of the garage. Assuming it would be a quick process to check in, I parked near a stop sign adjacent to the garage. The poorly placed signage indicating the need for a permit was two spaces behind me. When I returned to retrieve my ID minutes later, my car was gone—towed almost immediately. The towing company’s name was conveniently printed on the hotel’s garage pass, raising questions about a predatory arrangement. I was forced to pay $185 to recover my car, essentially adding another night’s cost to my stay. While the staff upgraded my room as an apology, it didn’t offset the financial loss or frustration. Parking here is unclear and poorly managed, and staff provided little guidance. Unless you want to risk towing fees or endless frustration, avoid this property. It’s not worth the hassle. Placemkr, your guests deserve better.

Adding insult to injury, I felt pressured by management and a maintenance worker to leave a good review after my ordeal.

Really great option when staying in Balston area. Staff is always friendly, plenty of secure parking, and all the units have kitchenettes. Much bigger then a traditional hotel room.

Best value option in Ballston.

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.

The apartment could have used some black out curtains. Very bright even with the blinds closed. Bring a sleeping mask or you will be up with the roosters.
