2 Star Hotels in Fairfax

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.

I wouldn’t have written a review had it not been for Shaham’s exceptional service. He was extremely accommodating and super courteous during my stay. The breakfast was more than delightful and I got to enjoy chatting with the front desk on more than one occasion. Thank you again Shaham!

Had a great repeat stay with my wife and toddler here - we were last here in June 2022 (see earlier review). There has been a renovation since then and this property really stands out among the other older Residence Inns I’ve stayed in. It all comes down to the renovation and things not feeling as cramped and tired/worn out. The staff were excellent as well. We stayed only one night and had to leave at 5am so we did not get to try the breakfast which was the one item I thought really needed work last year during our stay. We will be back on future visits to Northern VA to visit family.

A big thank you to the entire staff led by Elaine! Special shout outs to Yulisa, Mercy, Flor, Soleda, Griselda, Zulma, Edgar and Ahmad for helping me make my 2 month long transition to the DC area so much easier. And look no further for a large grassy, very clean dog area!

The room is very large, the surrounding is safe and quiet, especially the hotel staff is very good, one day we have no time to finish the meal, the front desk knows that we went to the breakfast room and gave us a lot of food, very warm
