Recent Westin Arlington Gateway Review: "We arrived at the hotel after a long ride from the Hampton Roads area via "backroads" to Arlington. The valet and the concierge "Cynthia" were very friendly and greeted us warmly. At the front desk, there 2 women that were being helped. Samia the Front Desk person was all smiles and had friendly banter for them as she completed their transaction as  gave directions to their room. When we approached the desk, we were met with curtness, no smile, and no friendly banter. She did manage to mumble a "Good Afternoon" with no eye contact. She was rude. Plain and simple. Rude. I gave her our name and asked her about the parking. She curtly told us what the rates were, told us our room number, and pointed to the elevators. I was angry and about ask for the manager on duty, but I didn't. I gave Samia a 'free pass". No worries, I made notes for this review to post. The rest of the our 3 day stay was great. Restaurant and bar staff were outstanding. The facilities and location met and exceeded our needs for this trip. Suggestion: Retraining for Samia and all front desk personnel on customer service for ALL GUESTS! When a guest approaches the counter, ALL conversations (non work related ) amongst coworkers should stop upon the approach of guests. We will stay again if needed, but will not be as forgiving with the rudeness."
