The Westin Reston Heights

It’s a cool place, we enjoyed it

Está muy bonito limpio y era muy relajado el personal muy amable

Overall, the hotel is located in a safe area and is convenient to reston town center. The staff at the desk was very nice. However, when we got in the room, there was still trash in the garbage pail which was not ours,and there were crumbs on the floor, which told me they didn’t clean the room very well.

Windows do not open in rooms and there is Zero ventilation of fresh air. Using Aranet4 monitors, CO2 levels increased an average of 1000PPM (parts per million) every hour with 2 adults in the room. Recommended CO2 levels for indoor air are 600PPM. The only vent in the entire room is about 10"x6". No other vents or fans in the bedroom, bathroom or entry. Very little airflow from the one vent. I measured CO2 coming from the vent and it was the same as the ambient CO2 in the room. One of the many common side effects from high CO2 is headaches/migraines. I get terrible migraines which makes travel & flying unbearable. Zero ventilation violates Virginia, ASHRA & OSHA federal air quality limits. It's not just unhealthy, levels this high are dangerous. I reserved a balcony room, but balcony rooms are next to ice machines & elevators, they also overlook the highway (very loud) stink bugs were on balcony. Room doors are heavily weighted and difficult to open, they automatically slam shut with great force (extremely loud), doors were slamming shut up/down hallway all night. A/C was broken, 2 hrs+ for repairs, room temp 86F up until 11PM. Took 3hrs for room to cool to 72F. Room was dirty, shower had mold, counter & sink were filthy.

The room was extremely spacious and modern. It was perfect for my trip. The staff was pleasant and my stay overall was amazing.

I loved how close this was to DC proper, but it was set in a quiet neighborhood. No city wild noises but not so far to not have fun. It was the perfect respite.
