Best Hotels in Fairfax, United States

Our 2-queen bed room was okay, nothing special. The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was great. Interestingly, when we tried the TV, it wouldn't turn on. I thought it might be the batteries in the remote. I called the front desk, and someone showed up in about 10 minutes. No, not the remote. He did something, i.e., put in some kind of code. Aren't hotel TV set supposed to be ”ready to go?” A recent review remarked about the lengthy check in process (with no one waiting). I experienced that too. Interesting? The breakfast room is huge and attractive. We sat at a table overlooking the pool. Breakfast, at best, was fair. The sausage patty was ice cold, in spite of it being in a metal container labeled ”hot.” The potatoes was not hot either. There were no pastries in the little pastry ”cabinet.” I had to ask about them. He brought out two kinds of mini muffins (okay) and, I think, donut holes (stale?), which were cold, probably just out of the refrigerator. Getting in and out of the hotel grounds was a challenge, i.e., not easily done, especially during high traffic times. And, yes, the hotel is convenient to GMU, only about 2 1/2 miles away.

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights at the end of March 2023. On arrival, we noticed that there was a cherry picker outside the hotel and that work appeared to be happening. At reception, there was a piece of paper taped to the desk explaining that building renovations had now been finished and that painting was all that was still being carried out - and that this would not happen outside 9-6. The check-in staff member advised that we would have to request a room refresh as Hampton Inn no longer did so - until the 5th night. We were on a 2-night stay. I asked the reason for this and he told me it was connected to Covid. When I pointed out that this no longer seemed a current reason he told me that it 'depends on which policy you read'. To me this is cost-cutting. The room was, however, lovely and recently refreshed. It was spotless. I agreed with the other reviewer about the lack of sound insulation through doors. We could hear everything out in the hallway - when someone went into the room next door or opposite it was so loud that it felt like they were coming into our room. We could also hear into the next-door bathroom. That was the only downside. That and the fact that we forgot to ask for that room refresh after all. Breakfast was standard.

The best value hotel near Washington Dulles Airport is the best choice for arriving in the evening. It is also convenient to travel to the city the next day. In addition, there are hot water and instant noodles, suitable for Chinese people.

Rarely perfect holiday inn Check-in experience. The surrounding transportation is convenient, of course, it means driving and trying to think less about public transportation in the country. There are parks, malls, oil stations and so on within 2km of the hotel.

I strongly recommend on the Residence Inn at Fair Lakes in Fairfax, Virginia. The manager, Hannah Adlam, sets the tone and offers a great example for the entire staff of the qualities of exceptional customer service. As a guest at the Residence Inn, I have received exceptional service from all the staff. During my stay, the facility has been undergoing renovations. Many measures have been taken to ensure customers are well taken care of during these circumstances. In addition, at this time, the Covid 19 Pandemic is in full swing. During these challenging times the staff are still providing customers exceptional service. As I witness all the work being carried out by management and staff to meet customers’ needs while undergoing building renovations and a Pandemic, I can just say everyone at this Residence Inn is Exceptional!!! I love the renovated suite I occupy; it has a great arrangement of living and sleeping areas with neutral colors and lovely decor. My favorite part is the location of table in the kitchen which can also be used as an extra work surface when cooking. Outdoors, the new patio offers multiple lounging areas, a barbeque and a fire pit adorned by trees and flowers. The Residence Inn is in a great location close to Dulles Airport, Fair Oaks Mall, many groceries stores and major highways!

Spent a recent June 2022 weekend here with my wife and toddler. The staff were great and like many other reviews, this is a great place to stay. Unlike some other RIs in the area, this is newer (built in 2011 I believe) so that really shows in the little things like the sink fixtures, nice clean white tile in the bathtub, etc. I am Bonvoy Titanium Elite and they upgraded us to a 1BR suite which was very large and spacious. Parking is free, the area is very safe and it’s close to many places one might need to go in Northern VA. There was one significant disappointment and that was the breakfast. I realize during the worst of the pandemic many changes needed to be made but I just felt deflated to come down and find paper plates and plastic silverware. When you’re away from home often you value things like eating with real silverware and real plates. Additionally, everything just seemed like processed food. Instead of a warm cauldron of oatmeal, they just had packaged containers of dry oatmeal that you’d need to pour hot water in. Eggs were fine and there was some fruit, but compared to other RIs I’ve stayed in during the pandemic, this breakfast was really 1 star. We didn’t even bother on Day 2 - we just went to Panera. It’s a shame because everything else about the hotel is really good. I just want more than pre-packaged processed food.

The biggest advantage of the hotel is that it is close to the subway station and it will take a few minutes. The front desk was warm and the breakfast was good. However, the room was poorly soundproofed, and the phone next door was played for an hour in the morning, which was annoying. The rooms are small, the facilities are simple, and the budget hotels cannot have any high requirements.

This is a 3-star hotel and it shows. As its name indicates, the rooms are suites and come with a small kitchenette, which includes a small sink, refrigerator, coffee maker, and a small microwave. Our room also had a small living room with a couch. The TV in our room was set at an awkward position, opposite the wall that separates the living room and the bed. This was probably an attempt to be visible from both, but made it difficult to watch from either space. The room did not have a safe and there was only one drawer to store things. The cupboard was good size and came with an ironing board. The AC was quite loud and we were staying on one of the lower floors so the general noise level in the room was quite higher than in other hotels we stayed. Nearby (0.2 miles) there is a small mall with a choice of restaurants and a grocery store. This hotel is near the George Mason University and is one of the university's preferred hotels. So many families stay here when they visit the university. However there is no hotel shuttle to take you there. So, you either need to have a car or to pay taxi back and forth. The breakfast can be improved. We didn't expect it to be a full continental breakfast, but it seemed minimal. There were no bagels, English muffins, waffles or similar. On the other hand there were pre-packaged cereal and milk, pre-packages hot sandwiches, boiled eggs and some fruit. This could be due to COVID, but the look of these things did not inspire confidence for their quality. Again this is a 3-star inexpensive hotel, so one cannot complain that much.

Clean, Quiet and convenient The rooms were nice and clean , bed was not the most comfortable. People complained about the AC must have not figured out how to use it. It would come on amd off as needed. Never had a problem with it not coming on. Couple of things… hotel told us they had a shuttle when we called to verify, which we were planning to get to the metro. However, despite it sitting right out front of hotel without a sign on it stating “NOT iN USE”. Nothing to tell you that unless you read the tiny print on one of the many signs at the front desk. There should be a sign clearly stating no shuttle in service so it is not expected. And the front desk person offered no assistance or knowledge to help us get to metro , like telling us there was one right down the street that was walkavwl. Also there was next to nothing in the hotel pantry store. Don’t count on that either. There is metro stop within walking distance of the hotel and also there is several restaurants very close. If parking in the garage ( charge) should have a smaller vehicle it is very tight entrance cannot be over 7’ tall vehicle. Very tight squeeze to enter the garage. But there is ample feee parking on the street. Convenient location , yet quiet as it sits away from the road in a business park. We would stay here again the next time we return to that area.

Breakfast is relatively simple but hygienic. Bread and milk are individually packaged and placed on the table outside the restaurant for guests to pick up. It is understandable during the epidemic. The transportation is convenient and it is very convenient to order takeaway.
