    I stayed at AKA Virginia Square for six months in 2011. Bar far the friendliest and most helpful staff of any hotel that I have ever stayed at. The room was great and decently furnished. I had a two bedroom suite with a patio, full kitchen, and washer dryer. The only bad thing about the inside of the apartment was the hard as a rock couch. Looks euro and trendy and feels like sitting on cardboard. Other than that everything was superb. They even replaced (upgraded) the flat screen in my room because the older one did not have good enough HDMI for me to do P90 on my PS3.

    The location is a short walk to Ballston Mall and 5 min from orange line. Also the small restaurant directly behind the hotel has some killer chicken.  I really enjoyed my stay and I would highly recommend it. If you decide to stay make sure to say hello to Carol and Elena if they do not do it first.

    Think twice before booking here.

    My friend and I booked two rooms here, weeks in advance of our trip.  Just a few days before the trip, the hotel called and told us they had to cancel our reservation because some of their current customers decided to extend their stay!  That has never happened to me before, and I travel quite extensively.  Instead of saying no to their current customers, they cancel your reservation instead.  They did offer to find us a room at their other location in DC, but that's nowhere close!  We ended up having to find last minute rooms at much higher costs.

    I would not make a reservation at any hotel where I know they won't hold my reservation, like this one, again.

    I love this hotel, the location isn't ideal but it was ideal for my job, 3 minute walk from it.  It is considered an extended stay hotel, so it's meant for people who are planning on staying a week or longer.  I loved my room, I had a two bedroom suite, a beautiful bathroom with a huge Jacuzzi bathtub, washer and dryer, a huge kitchen and lots of sun shining in!  I wish I lived in a place like this!  The service was excellent too, always had someone with a smile at the front or in the morning when I went upstairs for my continental breakfast.  Though the location is in Arlington it is very close to the Virginia Square metro so as long as you don't mind taking the transit, it can work out if you love spending time in DC like I do.  Also, it is an easy walk from a mall and restaurants.  I would definitely recommend it for people who are staying in the area for work.
