What guests think

At Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel, travelers consistently praise the friendly, professional staff and clean, comfortable spaces, while noting convenient airport access with a shuttle and a quiet, business-area setting that can feel limited for dining and nightlife.

Guests like the on-site lobby bar, restaurant, and coffee shop, plus a well-equipped gym and relaxing pool, but parking is costly and sometimes chaotic, with valet service limited or slow. Rooms are comfortable with good beds and views, yet some mention thin walls, AC limits or heat at night, low water pressure or drainage issues, and occasional noise or odors. Breakfast is not complimentary, some find it pricey or slow, and menus can feel limited, though several enjoyed cocktails, pizza, and coffee. Overall, expect a convenient airport stay with standout service and some tradeoffs.

Location was close to the airport and seemed like a safe area. Parking in the garage for $44 was a lot of money on top of the stay for over $200.

The place is nice as expected but their parking is ridiculous! 44 for regular parking after I have paid 20$ for parking on orbit.com and valet is 46$ I believe. I chose valet since is only $2 difference. In all without parking issues, is a great place to stay.

This hotel is easy to access with attached paid parking garage. You can choose valet or self park. It seemed like a safe area and is well lit. The hotel restaurant in the lobby is absolutely beautiful! The employees were all very helpful.

The hotel itself was fine enough, however the parking situation was a nightmare. I paid for the valet but when we returned back at the hotel at 10pm after the fireworks we waited for valet to come. After waiting about 20 minutes my husband was told rudely by the front staff that he was probably attending to other visitors. After another 20 minutes I went back to inquire again and the same lady told me the valet hours had ended and that we would need to self park. Why didn’t she tell us that the 20 minutes prior?? Spent another 15 minutes looking for parking in the garage and there were no spots. Went back to front desk AGAIN and the same lady said “sorry, we can offer you a refund for the parking” and at that point I didn’t even care about the refund. She told us to look for parking in the streets!! We just literally couldn’t find a place to park. We had left our home at 4am to get to DC to visit and watch the fireworks and at the end of a very long day with our 11 year old, had to experience over an hour driving around looking for parking until 11pm at night fighting to figure out where to park our car. We had such an amazing day watching baseball and fireworks in our nations capital to end the night severely frustrated. Just kind of really stunk honestly to end the day this way.

Stayed here with a friend for the Peachtree race. Super convenient for the race and the hotel put out free pre-run food and drink. The air conditioning stopped working while we were there, but that is not the hotel’s fault. The gym was well equipped and the pool was a lovely place to relax!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The room was comfortable and clean. The lobby, bar, coffee shop and restaurant were very nice and welcoming. We had dinner at the restaurant on site and it had a very nice ambiance. The food was good but a bit on the pricer side for what you get. The coffee from the coffee shop was great. There is not much going in the area when it comes to other restaurants and night life, but it is a quiet area.The drinks from the bar were good. We would come back.

Very very very clean! I’m very particular about where I stay. I work in the city long hours and live far so I wanted to find a great hotel to call home on the weekends. Willing to give it another try. Downside: the hallway smells like marijuana, the walls are so thin! I could hear the couple to the left having a conversation and the ladies to the right coughing! So disappointed because I had to be up at 4am. Hopefully my next visit they can place me in a room away from from other guest/corner. Gentleman at the front desk that checked me in was very kind and communicative. Ps. I happened to have my room key when I left at 5am. When I left out the garage I would have had to pay again if I didn’t have my room key. They should tell guest how to get out after they pay.

Beautiful hotel with easy access to National Airport. Hotel provides a shuttle to the terminal, but because we had a very, very early flight we had to take an Uber - which worked out just fine. The downside is that the area is very commercial - so if you want to go for a walk after dinner ther isnt much to see - just office buildings and hotels. No restaurants so you have to eat in the hotel. Their restaurants/bar is fine, but menu is a bit limited and understaffed. But the staff were excellent.

I was thoroughly shocked this place had no complementary breakfast. I would’ve imagined that if you’re paying at least $250 a night for a room the least they could do was provide you with complementary breakfast in the morning but you didn’t get none of that with this hotel. Disappointing.
