If you're looking to be close to a metro, choose the Westin Arlington Gateway (WAG)...it's about 4 blocks from the Ballston stop on the orange line. Pretty good lounge, like CIT85 said, and ask for a room ending in -12 (suites).

Westin Alexandria is also pretty new, with a nice lounge, hot food in the morning and after 6 pm, and walking distance from the King street metro (blue & yellow lines) and Eisenhower (yellow) metro.

I recently stayed on a Starpicks.com $71 rate at the Westin Tysons Corner. Great rate! I splurged on an egg white omelette and healthy berry smoothie. I love a good Westin breakfast after a great sleep in a Heavenly bed.
