Michael Kosenski

The staff are wonderful and friendly The night manager whom we dealt with both nights could not have been more helpful, more friendly, or more professional, he was a pleasure to work withBreakfast in the morning was very good – all fresh and well prepared

The breakfast attendants were great, especially the woman who personally made my wife a waffle and brought it over to us, with a warm smile and a pat on the shoulderThe location is a little far from DC, but it’s a very easy drive to and fro on 66 so it was well worth the drive to get peace, quiet, free parking, and free breakfastThe grounds are very nice It’s all outside entrances which makes it easier to come and go Also, it was very nice that they had the pool cleaned and the fountains on, even though it’s closed to swimming It just made the grounds so much more inviting, and it’s not something they had to do, so it was greatly appreciatedWe’ll definitely return!

John O’Neill

We just had an excellent three night stay Very nice room , quiet , everything was very clean and in working order The breakfast selection was good every morning

Plenty of parking and a great location You can catch a bus right accross the street to get to the MetroThe staff were all very pleasant and efficient All in all a great place to stay I only wish it had been a summer visit so we could have what looked to be a great pool

Gloria Castro

Especially good was the breakfast that was included and the hostess/server was very pleasant and friendly The front desk personnel was also very niceThe only negative we found was the wall to wall carpeting in the lobby

It needs to be replaced It had a slight odor and the striped pattern made it difficult to walk on when going down the steps

I had an excellent stay here The rooms are clean and modern Bathroom shower was great, love the rain head

Free parking is convenient and seemed secure Check-in staff was fantastic and accommodating when I missed a flight There was some wind noise in my room, but I’m not going to count it against the hotel (since I didn’t ask for a different room) The hotel is close to the highway, shopping and restaurants are nearby I would stay here again

Shia Ivey

THE STAFF, Large room, comfy beds, clean bathroomThe staff was very accommodating and super sweet and hospitable My family’s power was out a little over 2 days due to a recent snow storm

They made sure we were comfortable, that we had everything we needed, and the check in process was stress free I will definitely be staying again but hopefully not due to the recent circumstances

James England

OK Where to startStaff, super friendly, great shuttle service to and fro town center

the only close walking distance is Popeyes and a 7-11 and a few other small things I didn’t have a car, so location was not goodPhoto shows a poooool… I didn’t see this Really nice meeting and ballrooms from the outside and from photos Nice gym though Probably a great hotel for conference or meetings??I know location drives price, but wow Seriously overpriced I had a king room average 200 a night Bed and bathrooms were nice, pillows: bring your own No microwave Bar open only Tue-Sat closes at 10 or 11??? If I was not on company dime I personally wouldn’t stay again for the price

This hotel is wonderful Staff from the front desk to the waitress to the housekeeper were friendly, professional and helpful Every question answered and responded to immediately

The rooms beautiful, the beds comfortable with differing softness of pillows and the sheets luxurious and comforter, well – comforting so that we all had the perfect sleep I will always try to stay at a Hilton Garden hotel wherever I travel because of my experience at this hotel

Hahn Family

The experience overall was subpar but I’ll start with the good- The rooms are clean There is art on the wall that reflects the City which is a wonderful touch

– The exercise room and indoor pool, fantastic I really enjoyed their exercise room, and my hubby and toddler the poolThe bad:- It’s been years since I paid for a hotel in person instead of online so this one may be on me The price per night was $160/night plus $24 tax in person vs $120-$130 plus tax online We paid for 2 nights and never found out long-term stay pricing because- The team who handle long-term stay pricing are only available during the week, not weekend We needed a room for 10+ days starting Friday so we paid for two days at full price- The parking situation is complicated You park either on the top level or bottom level Regardless of where you park, you have to take an elevator to get to the lobby and another elevator to get to your room There is a ramp in case you want to walk to the lobby but there are cars coming up the ramp- The breakfast service ($10 conventional || $13+ hot food) was very slow My hubby and 13yo spent over an hour at breakfast with about five other guest groups- The pantry area next to the front desk is not well stocked One morning, I walked with my 2yo downstairs to buy something simple, cereal or oatmeal I didn’t think it reasonable to pay $10 for a baby So we see that the pantry has cheerios in the plastic cups Great! The woman at the *front desk* lets us know there are more cereal options at the breakfast area Just in case, we walk over to see if there was anything special There wasn’t There were only cheerios in the plastic cups We return to the pantry area and try to find milk Surely there’ll be milk if they are selling cheerios in plastic cups The woman at the *front desk* lets us know that they don’t sell milk and that I’ll have to go to the breakfast area, aka pay $10, to get milk Really?? Not a great experience We bought oatmeal Important thing to note – The woman tending to the *breakfast area* was very kind and we felt loved and taken care of by herWe were really hoping of staying 10+ days at this location since our 13yo could easily walk to school (we were repainting our house a few blocks away) but after our experience the first two days, we left for the Staybridge Suites in McLean 10 mins away Best decision we made The rooms are double the size with a kitchen, the folks in the front desk are lovely, parking is easy, breakfast is free, and there are much better rates online than this Hilton

Dawn Brown

I am a chaperone for a Christian school group , the first morning we went to breakfast in a special conference room , they had only bran muffins for the youth , on my way out I decided to check the traditional breakfast room for guests snd was happily surprised to find a blueberry muffin I grabbed it , and an employee yelled at me that I was not allowed to have that muffin? Later that night after a full day of tours , our youth had about 20 minutes before the pool closed In one girls hurry , she forgot her shoes and snd was in socks

we were stopped by a gruff gentleman about 10 steps to the pool area who said shoes were required , with only 15 minutes to swim he wanted the youth girl to walk back through the entire hotel without shoes snd get them ? Huh? I offered to go get shoes for her while she swam and he said I could not ? What happened to common sense ? As a paying customer I have to say that these policies are trivial snd seem to be a power play ? I would never recommend this establishment for youth groups traveling , they were very disrespectful and down right rude

Alicia Shortell

The overall service at the property exceeded my expectations Eric, is an asset to this property and understands what it takes to leave a lasting impression on a guest Eric paid attention to detail and anticipated my needs by providing extra blankets, pillows, and a roll away bed in the suite prior to my arrival

I arrived with 4 exhausted teenage boys who traveled and competed in a basketball championship Check In was fast and there was no wait to be checked in Everything was prepared for us when we arrived, the room was large and clean, the roll Away bed was turned down and prepared for our late arrival the beds were both comfortable The property was spotless, Inside and out with plenty of parking the area felt very safe, and secure The buffet style Breakfast was great, offering healthy and quick options for families on the go, or a chef to prepare the breakfast of your choice, which is complimentary Eric went out of his way multiple times to ensure We had a perfect stay and he is a great example of what exceptional hospitality looks like

Belinda Tribble

Great stay for business trip Loved the idea of having drink tickets This was a big plus with my group

Nice way to come to our home away from home after a long day of working Eric’s big smile and sweet welcome back was nice as well We will be back in a few weeks and looking forward to another good nights sleep in the comfortable bed Also, room temp was kept nice and cold :} thank you, see ya soon > Tribble

cherry baby

The first Embassy Suites I’ve visited that wasn’t actually a suite It was a single, medium size, room It had a large TV and entertainment center that the used to slightly partition it, but still a single room

Bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean and well stocked The drink tickets were great Parking was not free, but when my uber dropped me off, the arms were up And it looked like an ample size parking lot I didn’t eat breakfast, but based on other reviews it’s tasty

Great location for a week Clean and great staff Manager was an expert at handling issues

However, some variables that need addressedPesticides smell: travel a lot and never experienced this anywhere else It not pesticides, some distracting smell existsSecurity: door locks could be upgraded Window lock are actually broken in certain rooms Definitely the one I stayedBottom line: a great place and recommend

Rock boro

The Courtyard Springfield is a somewhat run down hotel that does not live up to the other Marriott properties we have visited Bathrooms were marginal in upkeep (Running toilets, squeaky and hard to close doors, damaged towel racks)$10 per person parking fee

Three of us arrived in one car so our one night parking fee was $30 for a single vehicle When we booked, the website gave us the total with all fees Did not include any parking fees Seems like a backdoor way to hide the real cost of the roomAC could not keep the room cool or control the humidity Not a comfortable nightIn general would not recommend this hotel There are many other better options within a couple of miles

Kristi Germ

The rooms had an odd smell The mattresses were nasty Urine or throw up stain on mattress near the head of the bed

The other mattress had what looked like dried boogers or bed bug shells in the cracks The windows open, but the screen was completely ripped so we had to keep it shut Cost extra to park and breakfast is not included Not worth the $170 Won’t return*Pictures attached

Amazing hotel Incredible staff Angel, Jonathan and the whole team took care of everything during my multi-week stay here

They were the friendliest, most positive, helpful group The hotel itself is the cleanest and quietest hotel I have stayed in anywhere in the US The staff seems to place a particular emphasis on customer service, cleanliness, and ensuring a quiet space I would stay here again anytime If I could give the hotel team six stars I would!

Ants Everything was fine with this hotel and my stay until I started eating my dinner at the table/desk in the room and then notice little ants coming all different directions towards my food I then search over the entire desk/table and find and kill about 25 ants

I then clean the table/desk with a wet towel and the towel ended up brown/black Rooms are renovated but shows they cannot even keep the new furnishings cleanOther then the ants the room the room was relatively clean with cold AC and no bad or musty smell in the room Gave a 4 only because of the updated rooms and distance to the national mall or it would have been a 3Even though I shouldI didn’t use the gym but it looks very empty equipment wise Apparently hotel has a outdoor pool McDonald’s right next door was clutch and ants would probably agreeI have come to accept choice hotels either have bugs in the room or the rooms are outdated or both and again sadly I was not disappointed with this stay with those expectations

Troy Brown

Overall, not a bad place to stay if you just need a place to sleep Staff was friendly at check-in, bed was comfortable, good location Had AC as cold as it would go for two days and it barely kept the room from feeling warm

The bathroom door squealed loud enough anytime it moved to wake other people in the room Room had a couple floor to ceiling cracks, hallway carpet was stained, and the elevator was beat up and a little sketchy

Lolita Pollard-Kezele

The rooms are remodeled and nice The outside need to be renovated The halls need attention too

They were working on it but it isn’t done They had a big school crowd It’s important to plan for this during breakfast time We just left and went to get our own breakfast at Denny’s But I would stay here again because the room was comfortable

We stayed over the weekend at this Hotel Very nice

very clean and rates were very fair and affordableThe beds was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and there was plenty of towels The staff was very friendly and helpful with me and my family The only con that I can think of is I still haven’t received back my $6000 room deposit back yet and it was supposed to be credited back to my account upon check out

Paul Marquardt

Spent a week here recently The service was very good The bar service was great and food was quick and easy to order

The concierge lounge was very nice and I took full advantage of it for breakfast and late night snacks The only thing I would have changed would be adding the concierge lounge key to the digital key I ended up having to get a key card for that access separately It was an easy fix though and the front desk personnel were very helpful

Ryan Hurford

Titanium member This is a fantastic hotel with open spaces and clean rooms The staff are inviting and pleasant

They do have an open concierge lounge on the top floor It had hot eggs and bacon with the typical abbreviated breakfast items this morning Oatmeal, yogurt, juices, etc No charcuterie plate, but has enough to grab and go The bed was stellar and the shower/tub was spotless and well cared forHotel is quiet no matter which room you get, so that’s a big plus if you fly in late and need to sleep asap before the early rise, or if you have kiddos I definitely recommend!

Got set up in this hotel for a few nights do the work Very happy with this location This hotel was very clean staff is very friendly and rooms were really nice

I got me a double bedroom which was pretty spacious Thought the beds and pillows we’re a good quality and I slept pretty well Some of the best hotel towels I’ve ever had at least soft wise they didn’t rub my skin off while drying myself after a shower Each morning there was a little breakfast buffet, even though I had tickets it looks like it runs about $12 Pretty much the standard food pancakes, eggs, bacon Etc There was a little bar area they’re each night people tended to hang out at There was an extra fee for parking, they have a parking garage located underneath the hotel that you need a key card to open the automated gate to enter Very safe feeling, the elevator is required a key to be able to push your floor number And overall I thought access to the hotel from the main road was pretty easy on easy off It is Tysons area so traffic is always a nightmare here but there are ample restaurants in other activities pretty close I would definitely stay here again!

Paul Boakes

Staff helpful, hotel smart and clean Car parking no problem ($10/day, although free on the street outside)I’ve stayed here twice, and had no problems

Housekeeping on request only, but had no problem getting the towels changes every few days Room at the end of the corridor was quiet Bed huge Aircon effectiveI’d stay here againOddly nice fire hydrant just a few steps from the entrance – bit of a novelty for a visiting Brit!

danasia griner

On top of having to pay for breakfast and parking there’s extra fees added onto your room that I had no idea about The comforters are thin and the rooms barely give you a cozy stay away from home feeling There were ants in the room a few times and no one came to clean up even AFTER I called and asked if someone could be sent up

The receptionist said yes and I came back to a room that was still dirty The area was great and next to the train station so that’s why it had two stars if it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t have stayed

Lisa Sandridge

Even though we only spent one night, we would come back again Loved the fact that there was a full sized refrigerator, could tell that fire safety was important (saw fire alarms and sprinklers throughout the suite we had) & really good soundproofing Felt this was a good location to stay for so many sites (grab a metro to go into DC for the day, visit some falls, just go explore the area)Only con we had was offered breakfast

But yet, you could fix your own, you have the mini kitchen to do it

Nigeriangodiss Asuquo

It was an awesome experience, the rooms were very clean, and relaxing The bed slept well, and shower was on point The front desk was immediately easy to reach as well

Even with Sonesta doing upgrades, you never felt inconvenienced They had a nice clean laundry room on site as well The outside amenities were nice such as the firepower, grill,, tennis courts, and basketball court The tech area was nice as well as the Lobby area Also,, the continental breakfast were on point The only thing I must say that I didn’t see any ice machines on each floor I figured it’s probably because of the rooms having a full refrigerator and freezer Sonesta location was so close to local shopping area, like Walmart, Target , and others I will recommend this for family

John Langley

This was a phenomenal stay The location is great right next to a lot of nice eateries and shopping centers, the rooms are spacious and filled with anything you could need on the road, the beds are almost the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in on the road The staff are pleasant and friendly and helpful

Legitimately one of the best stays I’ve enjoyed while traveling for work

KT Nicolau

Great for a short stay in the VA/DC area The location was excellent: The hotel is located 5 minutes away from the Dunn-Loring Metro and within 15 minutes of many restaurants and shops Harris Teeter is across the street (I could see it below my room) for groceries

There is no microwave in the rooms, but downstairs in their little market The bed was comfortable I would bring your own toiletries like lotion because they provide packets, not bottles The front desk staff was very friendly Absolutely no issues staying here

H. LPN

As a couple we enjoyed the close proximity to the Dunn Loring metro station Our whole goal was to see DC and this station is literally around the corner We liked the Harris Teeter grocery store being across the street as well as a Starbucks

There is a nice poke bowl/asian place across from Starbucks-the lady who owns it is fantastic and makes the best Bubble tea! The front desk was very helpful and gave us maps for DC For the room everything was good The shower was nice and super clean (no black mildew at all) I wished there had been more light over the mirror/sink area as it is dim The bed was comfortable, loved being able to crack open our window (felt like an apt), great views and the parking was ample for $500 a day Make sure to tell them you want housekeeping if you do or they will not come We did not want it but did ask for more towels We would stay here again for sure

A great stay for a reasonable price We were billed incorrectly initially, but when I pointed this out after the fact they issued a refund immediately Also my wife left her glasses in the room, they found them and shipped them back to us, very helpful

The location is great, it’s an easy walk to the metro

Conveniently located, the Residence Inn by Marriott Tysons delivers on expectations My only issue was that they wanted to charge $8 for a 125 ounce bag of beef jerky

The rooms are clean, comfortable, and very functional It’s perfect as a shorter-term residence hotel My room was quiet and everything worked Good breakfast in the morning and friendly and helpful staff Will definitely stay here again when I’m next in the area

I stayed a this location week before last and again this week Each time I asked for later check out Last week now problem but this week then rules change The representative guaranteed me late check-out by 2 the lady at the front desk kept ringing the phone with the cleaning lady banging on the door at 12pm I called the front desk with a rude and unprofessional Clerk then was told I need to leave the room by 12:30 I told the Clerk I was calling there Corporate Office then she said you can stay until 1 pm

Corporate Office was notified still waiting for someone to call me back THE MIXED INFO IS A BIG PROBLEM WHEN YOU’RE SPENDING MONEY NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS

We had a plumbing issue in our suite and asked to be moved instead of waiting for a repair We were moved to another room quickly and appreciated the efficiency with how this was handled The breakfast buffet was great the one morning we woke up in time to get to it

If possible a shut down time of 10am instead of the 9am current time would be better for those of us on vacation who sleep a bit later after a long day of driving

This is an adequate hotel, made exceptional by the quality of the staff here Without exception, the people who work at this hotel have been kind, helpful, efficient, polite, and good natured i mean, literally everybody — the people at the front desk who helped me track down my groceries, the woman who makes coffee in the morning, the housekeeping staff: everybody

there was some trash in the courtyard one morning, and by the time i got back to my room from letting the front desk know, it had already been removed Because i am the type of person who cares about being treated well by friendly people who are excellent at their jobs, i would come back to this hotel the next time i am in the area

Interesting place Has no free breakfast, but does offer reasonable made-to-order food selections in their Bistro My room was large and comfortable–but my first without a microwave

an inconvenience as I was staying there for 2 weeks Staff seemed friendly The location was very good for me, and there was a ‘deal’ on pricing which was welcome

Anne Fury

Our family was there to attend a funeral All the staff were so kind to us Sam and Jose at the front desk, Anna and Allen realized that this was not a holiday for us and they were gentle, sympathetic to our needs

We arrived Thursday, Feb 3 and checked out Sunday morning on Feb 6My daughter was staying at the Marriot a mile away with her dad and brother The guys had to check out on Saturday, so My daughter, who I didn’t want to be alone, was able to switch to the Courtyard with no extra charge I’m so pleased with the excellent customer serviceBy the way, the breakfasts were so good!Thanks to all of you for your concern and caring

I have been coming here for a long time If you stay for a few nights you for sure will love it I’m sure!Excellent hotel in a great location Reception staff were helpful and stored my bag since I arrived early until my room was ready Received a suite upgrade using my Marriott rewards with a nice view Room was clean with lots of space 2 separate thermostats Internet connected TV’s

This hotel is at 10 minutes from the National Mall in Washington DC This means that if you have a car, it’s really worth it to spend more or less the same money here than in one of the hotels inside DC limits within a lower categoryThe rooms are REALLY clean, which shows you are in a superior category hotel

The location is great, very close to DC and even closer to restaurants in Arlington We noticed a couple of minor issues (drawers which don’t close completely, the sink draining not as fast as it should) The hotel isn’t new but it has been quite well maintained

Chelsea M

This hotel is a great place to stay when visiting DC, you can ride the metro in & it isn’t that far The hotel was clean and smelled pleasant, I especially enjoyed the regular sized toiletries, I bring my own every time because the tint bottles that most hotels typically have isn’t enough for my family The snack stand down stairs was extremely convenient & they have a Starbucks in the lobby! Also the restaurant attached to the hotel, The Commentary had some extremely delicious food!! The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that you need the room card to exit the parking garage when you leave

We forgot of course & threw ours in the “express checkout” box right by the elevator The front desk woman was kind enough to make us one so we could get out Would definitely stay here again & recommend to others!!

What a terrible shame I had every intention of leaving a five star review for this hotel until my experience this morning with the general manager First let me start with the positive

The weekend crew is absolutely amazing Everyone is friendly and pleasant I had moved to Homewood after a horrendous stay at another hotel I was so relieved to finally rest in a spacious, clean hotel with exceptional service The front desk even helped to accommodate my aroma sensitivities The room also comes with membership to Golds Gym which was a great perk which I sadly was unable to use, but is a great option The front desk team even checked in the second day to see how everything was and it was fantastic The breakfast on the weekend was also really terrific with sweet potato fries along with the usual eggs and two choices of meat Also, there were numerous choices of breads, bagels, muffins, etc and a variety of fruit I didn’t actually eat much and looked forward to Monday Sadly, none of this was availableThe breakfast had one meat, only bagels and only “delicious” apples, which I abhor I found this odd, but ok…I will accept it Then, as I’m trying to relax with my rather limited breakfast, the general manager came over and started sweeping the floor near me…sweeping dust into the air and near my flip-flopped feet and naked legs When I commented that this was inappropriate, he simply said, “I’m sorry you were offended, but I needed to clean”1) At the time I came to breakfast, there was only one of fourteen tables occupied In other words, the place was almost empty There was ample time to clean2) Breakfast was closing in 20 minutes He could have waited until after I left3) I didn’t make the mess There was no reason to penalize me and force me to shower again because someone else made a mess at my feetI would normally keep this complaint internal and simply talk to management about the fact that this was unpleasant, but…Is this a major issue? No However, it shows an attitude of management putting their own needs to get their perceived job done above those of their customers, forgetting that their job is to service customers

Jeffry Feliz

Hilton hotels have been my go to for years The service is always good Not my most recent stay at this hotel

Probably one of my worst experiences at a hotelArrived at the hotel, “checked in” after a bit at the front desk, only to find out that I was mistakenly given access to a room with other tenants already occupying it We proceeded to exit the room and went back down to inform the front desk of what occurred Front Desk worked quickly to give me the keys to a new room thankfullyNext, we arrived at the hotel room and proceeded to get in the shower only to find out that the towels were soiled yellow by what appeared to be pee 2 out of the 4 towels in the hotel room were that way Same thing happened with the towels we got on Friday, at which point we decided to cut our trip short by one dayI called the Diamond Desk to see if I could check out a day early I was informed that since this stay was booked with my Hilton Points that I would lose them if we left early as they “Couldn’t” refund them I decided that staying another night was not worth it, and left even though it meant losing more than 70k points Left the hotel this morning without looking backIf you are thinking of becoming a Diamond Member, please don’t Its honestly not worth it based on this experience

Dillon Vautrin

This was possibly the best service I have ever experienced during a hotel stay The hotel staff really made my family feel welcome The front desk, manager and kitchen staff were all terrific

The pool and hot tub were clean The room was clean When a lot of other chains seem to be going downhill lately, our stay in Falls Church at the Hilton was refreshing I highly recommend staying here Thanks!

I stay here often for work and it’s truly been my home away from homeCustomer service at the front desk is Excellent! Haley is always welcoming and nice Today she even helped me with ordering room service

Food: I am a picky eater but my meal was delicious , fresh and hotRooms: Spacious, Clean and I always get a good night sleep Beds and pillows are comfortable

All I do is travel and stay at hotels – with that being said – this is a very nice hotel in a very good location It’s not right by a DC/Tyson’s corner – but it is very centrally located if your plans are not DC bound Plenty of restaurants nearby and they have PURE rooms – which are hypoallergenic – and they work wonderfully! The front desk manager – Stephan – very nice, knowledgeable and ultra helpful

I especially enjoyed the slower pace and the peace/quiet/comfort – it’s as if I unplugged for a great weekend and came back to work recharged It’s not brand new – but it’s newerIf you’re in the mood for the same – come on in and enjoy!

Edythe Frankel Kelleher

Nice clean rooms on the large side We’ve been here a few times, and last time we had a corner space that was divided into two rooms so that wasn’t bigger but it was nice Decor is fine, funny how terrazzo counters are in again! Kitchen area equipped but items were missing

Breakfast is limited but good Location is only convenient if you’re driving, it’s walkable to a few not-so-great restaurants Aldi and a drugstore Lots more in the Mosaic District but that’s too long a walk for some Metro not too far, but not really walkable either

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this hotel This hotel “understood the assignment” when it came to true customer service Booked this hotel for my senior parents visiting from southern VA

Front desk, friendly, polite and smiled every – single – day They immediately, with no problems, upgraded my parents room to a studio because my dad was weary of staying on a floor above 3 The boxed breakfasts were nutritious, delicious and high in protein The hotel was spotless and smelled nice and fresh All hand sanitizer stations were filled and usable No hassle parking From the complementary bedroom slippers, to the bottled water, just and all around EXCEPTIONAL experience Great location My parents were very pleased and LOVED the comfortable bed They also felt very safe in the area I HIGHLY recommend this hotel, especially for seniors

Michael Gracey

I stayed for two nights (Friday/Saturday) to extend some work travel while taking advantage of a discount offered by the hotel Staff handled check-in courteously and expeditiously Complimentary parking was located in garage across from hotel (would have been nice to know on email confirmations)

My room happened to be in a corner on the second floor The room was predictably clean I appreciated a couple of small things such as complimentary bottled water, Malin&Goetz bath amenities, and a couple of books for reading if I was interested (I was not but appreciated the gesture) The bed and sofa both had firmer feels than other hotels at which I have stayed (Both were acceptable though and maybe understandable given their newness with the renovation) The shower design somehow encourages water to pool rather than drain, so I hope something can be done maintenance wise as they renovate Road noise is noticeable until midnight, so I would request a room at a higher floor and facing away from Lee HighwayPrices at first glance do not seem terribly unreasonable without the discount (hopefully they will stay reasonable after the renovations finish later this year) All in all the location proves a great reason to stay for a night or two and eat through Mosaic and surrounding restaurants within walking distance and movie watching at the Angelika One could feel good supporting a boutique hotel brand staying here

Jessica Kim

Excellent location and most importantly excellent hospitality The location was fantastic and accommodated our late check in request The room was in good condition and left a very nice gift basket for us to enjoy my promotion

This made this hotel outstanding I would love to visit this location again after their remodeling is complete Thank you so much for a wonderful experience

We stayed at this hotel for my birthday weekend and was very happy with the stay Captain managed the front desk during my stay, and he was extremely friendly and helpful! He even went above and beyond to make my birthday night special The other front desk staff was just as nice and helpful

I had no complaints about my room that was a standard size, everything worked as it should, and most importantly clean We had a drink at the bar/restaurant and the bar’s hostess was great toowe enjoyed her! I am very picky and boujee about my hotel and would return to this hotel It is in a great location surrounded by a mall, restaurants, and a quick drive to the DC area! Thank you for assisting with making my birthday a success!

Beautiful hotel, clean and good rooms We stayed here for a family reunion The beds are comfortable, the pillows are good, the a/c works well with no issues

The bathroom is a decent size Bath soaps and shampoos are decentBut the best thing about this hotel is the staff Alina was very helpful She tried her best to accommodate our family in spite of a huge wedding group staying here at the same time Captain was also great!! He is friendly and charming When you come across hotel staff who welcome you with friendly smiles and want to help you have a great stay, that means a lot to a customerThank you so much, Alina and Captain!!!!

A pleasant surprise! I’m in town with my two sons to celebrate my birthday and my company’s first podcast covering the Commanders While walking down the hallway with my boys, my youngest son mention that it’s my birthday while walking past an employee I return from FedEx Field to a pleasant surprise

It’s nice to see the extra effort to make a guest’s day Special thanks to the staff at this fine hotel for my birthday surprise and for the ability to check in a little early I will definitely return and recommend this hotel Top notch service!
