Definitely not 4 star, more like 2 or 3. Dated rooms and facilities, not very functional - lack of storage and outlets. Very loud all night with windows open because of no AC.

ROBERT, Arlington

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
First we were given keys to an already occupied room. Then a car alarm in the car park sounded for more than an hour starting at 2:00 am, preventing further sleep. Then the fire alarm went off at 5:30 so we had to evacuate. Let back in, the alarm went off again. Since we had an early flight we packed up and left at 6:00am. Total of four hours sleep. I will be requesting a refund.
