Reviews of Holiday Inn Express Fairfax-Arlington Boulevard by IHG often praise friendly, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient location near George Mason University, I-66, and dining, with complimentary breakfast and easy parking appreciated by many guests.
Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, though several guests noted worn carpets, musty odors, or maintenance issues like slow drains. Room comfort is generally solid, but some reported dated decor, noisy wall AC, occasional hallway noise or alarms, and tight layouts. However, some guests experienced miscommunication, booking/deposit frustrations, or concerning room-entry/privacy incidents. Expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stay with reliable basics and occasional hiccups.

Hotel was clean and staff were friendly. Breakfast was good and included oatmeal, eggs, sausage gravy, biscuits, potatoes, coffee, juice, cereal, pastries, and yogurt. Plenty of parking in an area where I felt safe.

The room and breakfast were good. The staff was friendly, although the receptionist was not very knowledgeable about the area. Our only frustration was that there was no laundry room (as listed). This was day 5 of our road trip and desperately needed to do laundry.

No real creamer at coffee bar, only chemicals! Put a damper on otherwise decent breakfast offerings. Back part of parking lot a little scary with poor lighting, especially with homeless guy wandering through, parked in front instead.

There was plenty of free parking. The air conditioning worked fine, but it is a window style unit rather than central air, so it makes some noise. The side entrance near the parking lot needs some maintenance, as it does not shut properly, which could be a security concern. The TV was really nice and big, so I watched some sports and enjoyed that. The breakfast was typical for a hotel like this. They had a one minute automatic pancake maker that was pretty cool

This was a nice, comfortable stay. We came in for a funeral so didn’t have need to check out amenities. The staff was really friendly & helpful. Hotel was clean & close to eating places. Price was reasonable. Free breakfast and parking was a plus. Not a high thrills hotel as it is an express but clean and safe.

Checked in late after a long drive riddled with traffic. The cold water was too hot for our young child to touch. The floor was dirty and unswept. The sheets had blood or feces on them. The chair had a stain. I couldn’t let my kids touch anything and it was stressful. None of the clerks could do anything and said they’d inform the manager. I never saw or spoke to the manager in 4 days. The beds were sloped and uncomfortable. I was unable to get a receipt because I didn’t book directly with them. I’ll never stay here again.

A decent motel. Room was in disrepair in a few places. Shower curtain was torn in several places and falling off, TP holder was coming off the wall, and a few other little things. Rooms were tight. Ceiling was low. I'm 5'11 and had to sit to put my shirt on because the ceiling would not allow me to extend my arms above my head. No ice on my floor. Clean beds, lots of hot water, breakfast was standard motel fair. I wouldn't not stay here again but I will certainly check out other places first. Especially at this price.

The bed, mattress, and pillow were among the most comfortable. I have ever had it either in a hotel, or at home. However, the room design was bizarre. You had to turn on the bathroom light from the front entryway, which meant that the other person in bed had to experience the light. Also, the sink was on the other side of the entryway from the bathroom, which meant that person using the bathroom, at night or tomorrow I , had to greatly disturb the other person. I have stayed in mini Holiday Inn expresses, but this was a bazaar, stupid design for the restaurant, the lighting in the sink.

For almost $200, the age of the property makes it hard to want to come back. Hallway to room smelled very musty. Beds are old. AC is a wall unit that is VERY noisy. Staff was very friendly.

The friendly service immediately when I checked in by Ray, asking about my dog and where I was coming from. The fresh brewed coffee, the clean hotel room. The breakfast in the morning, where you can make your own pancakes. It was a great experience and we’ll definitely stay here again when visiting Fairfax in 2026

Positives are bed was comfortable, good tv service. Negatives are carpet was not vacuumed before we checked in. Toilet would not flush properly unless you held the handle. Cleaning service attempted to enter the room (physically tried opening the door but we had the safety lock in place) 1.5 hrs before check out time. She knocked, did NOT announce herself and then attempted to open the door. When we went to desk to checkout, no one was at the desk. We waited a short bit and a guy got up from the business center computer and came over to check us out. He looked at us when we walked by but still waited before he got up to assist. When voicing my complaint about the cleaning service incident, two managers came out from back. They apologized but didnt offer anything for the inconvenience.

Reserved this room with the option to pay at the desk when checking in at the hotel. Apparently they needed my room badly and tried calling me while i was in surgery. Because I didn't answer they canceled my room without my knowledge and gave it to someone else. I woke up from surgery with no room for the night and appointments in the morning. No apologies or anything. Is good customer service even a thing anymore?

The room and beds were quite accomodating and confortable. However, with a reservation for 4 people, only two bath towels were provided. When asked for additional towels, the staff said that there arent any more available, and scrambled to find one additional towel. Also, at check-in, at almost 5pm, 2 hours after posted check-in time, the staff was checking with housekeeping on availability of our room and asked us to wait. That was annoying since we drove for a long distance and obviously had places to go. Also, although i selected to pay at property, my credit card was charged a "hold" fee of the night's stay $100 almost an hour before posted check-in. The staff explained that its a "hold" but also said that the $100 should be refunded in 2-3 days. To me, that's not a hold. That's a charge with a refund. This seems very scatchy. Let's see if/when the $100 is refunded.

I have stayed here many times over the last six years, as both my children attended the George Mason University. Every time I stay here, the room is clean, the staff is always extremely friendly and helpful, and I enjoy the continental breakfast. It's quiet, close to grocery stores, and about a ten to fifteen minute drive from campus on busy days. It's also close to Manassas (we have family there). I highly recommend staying here!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. I am 9 months pregnant and was staying here for a school event , by myself. Immediately when I walked in the hotel smelled , the front desk person was not very polite seemed like he had "better things to do" then check me in. They placed my room right next to the elevator so I could hear people all night long. I checked in at 4:45 and then around 2:30 in the morning woke up to a staff member using his keys to try and open my door ... thankfully i had the hinge lock, locked at the top. I have major anxiety so I started having a panic attack because they began banging on my at 2:30 in the morning because I wouldn't open the door (again I am a young pregnant female traveling alone) Once they stopped banging they called my room to ask me if hat my confirmation number was because someone put me in the wrong room. I never even went back to sleep because of how freaked out I was. I didn't even stay the whole time I was supposed to because of how traumatized I was from the situation , yet they still charged my card the full price & incidentals and the manager refuses to get back in contact with me. 0/10.
DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. I am 9 months pregnant and was staying here for a school event , by myself. Immediately when I walked in the hotel smelled , the front desk person was not very polite seemed like he had "better things to do" then check me in. They placed my room right next to the elevator so I could hear people all night long. I checked in at 4:45 and then around 2:30 in the morning woke up to a staff member using his keys to try and open my door ... thankfully i had the hinge lock, locked at the top. I have major anxiety so I started having a panic attack because they began banging on my at 2:30 in the morning because I wouldn't open the door (again I am a young pregnant female traveling alone) Once they stopped banging they called my room to ask me if hat my confirmation number was because someone put me in the wrong room. I never even went back to sleep because of how freaked out I was. I didn't even stay the whole time I was supposed to because of how traumatized I was from the situation , yet they still charged my card the full price & incidentals and the manager refuses to get back in contact with me. 0/10.

The property is located across from shops and right next to a restaurant, and very close to the heart of the City of Fairfax and I-66. When we entered, the front desk clerk acted as though he couldn't be bothered with us. He seemed distracted and annoyed. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The breakfast bar had the standard eggs, meat, potato and also a pancake station. Coffee is available in the entry at all times. We have stayed here once before and like the location and rooms.

Water bottle fill stations throughout. Staff friendly & helpful. Red Lobster next door was good. Cue nearby free ride to subway station. Sink & good lighting separate from shower/toilet area.

The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly Just a good straight forward hotel room. The location was situated between the downtown and the airport about a half hour either direction. There was a Red Lobster next to the hotel which was nice but, not much else within walking distance. The neighborhood was nice. Breakfast was your standard hotel fare although the sausage was turkey which we liked. There was also a small but nice selection of stacks and drinks by the front desk. Check in was a bit slow due to computer problems but, I was offered a free drink in compensation. All in all, I would stay there again.

Stayed here for a concert and honestly we enjoyed our stay. It was close to the concert venue, red lobster, pizza, burger place, coffee shop and amazon fresh right there. Front desk was very helpful with my questions and helped me find out the best way to get to the venue. Bathroom is a bit dated but who cares thats cosmetic. I would stay again if going to a concert in Fairfax again.

I have stayed here many times over the last six years, as both my children attended the George Mason University. Every time I stay here, the room is clean, the staff is always extremely friendly and helpful, and I enjoy the continental breakfast. It's quiet, close to grocery stores, and about a ten to fifteen minute drive from campus on busy days. It's also close to Manassas (we have family there). I highly recommend staying here!

Really liked the hotel. Breakfast was great; hot food and lots of variety. Love the "To Go" bags to carry things back to the room. Those are a very nice touch. Wished it lasted a little longer into the morning - 9:30a is a bit early. The maintenance on the hotel needs to be improved. Our bathroom door was swelled, split, and painted over to hide it. The bathtub faucet moves in the tub wall and the plug would not stay down to allow for a bath. Love that the fan on the PTAC unit is able to stay on so that there can be background noise during sleeping. Adjustable thermostat control is wonderful so that I can choose what I want. The staff are very friendly and the amenities are very nice.

This was a great stay, everything about the hotel was nice, so nice we stayed another night! The friendly service immediately when I checked in by Ray, asking about my dog and where I was coming from. The fresh brewed coffee, the clean hotel room. The breakfast in the morning, where you can make your own pancakes. It was a great experience and we’ll definitely stay here again when visiting Fairfax in 2026

The staff was great and the breakfast looked very good (we didn’t have time to sit down and eat but grabbed a bagel to go) but our room was on the first floor across from the ice machine and I barely slept between people using that, taking showers, and opening doors all night. The walls are super thin and don’t stop any noise from the other rooms. Would not stay here again if back in the area in the future.
