"The Arlo is one of the most conveinently located hotels I've ever stayed at in D.C. It's modern but with charm. The staff is extremely helpful. Perfect for a family visit to D.C., within walking distances of most major attractions, including the Mall and Capital. Metro is around the block and it's one stop from Union Station, you can even walk there if you'd like. The restaurant was only open for Breakfast when we stayed there, but they were going to be opening for dinner in the future. Looking forward to returning soon!"
