Having never visited the DC area before, I was not sure how much sense t would make to stay in the neighboring Arlington when all of the college touring our family was doing was in the DC metro area, nevertheless, cost took precedence since this was a late booking. This was a great find: In our three day stay I found Arlington to be a a clean, walkable, bedroom community of mostly young professionals and families with several great restaurants, and cafes. Despite being called the Hyatt Courthouse, it is very much flanked by a very cute and walkable neighborhood that felt safe, so much so that I felt comfortable allowing my teenaged daughter to run the CVS down the street from the hotel by herself at night. The staff was friendly (especially the breakfast staff - the women who work there are lovely and this was the cleanest and most efficiently run breakfast buffet I have ever seen, especially considering the amount of traffic they get! My only complaint about this place is that the air conditioning was too loud at night, but nothing that ear plugs could not handle! Overall, I am glad this late booking worked out and would definitely not only recommend, but I would go back myself when in the area.
