Great for cheap 2 bedroom rooms , free breakfast, small pool, closed seasonally . Restaurants around the are area are overpriced and not that good but that's suburban VA for you. Dine in DC or surrounding affluent areas.

The hotel was conveniently located near the interstate. There was a shopping center within steps of the hotel. The breakfast was pretty good and a bit of an upgrade from the standard continental breakfast. The fitness room was clean and had updated equipment. We had one bedroom with a sofa bed, which gave us privacy. This is important when you have a teenage child. The hotel is nestled in a neighborhood, and we enjoyed taking a morning walk there.

Deceptive comments by GM in prior response she made to customer comment about being happy customer enjoyed seasonal pool. It wasn't open then and isn't now. Parking fee states " covered is 15$ a day" leaving you to wonder if uncovered is free...it is also 15 which is vaguely deceptive. Underground parking appears to not have been power washed in over a decade. Many other odd and gross issues here. 100% never again...suggest you find a better place not owned by nearly bankrupt ashford properties

My partner and I had a great stay, there were just a few minor issues. There was a broken elevator so we had to walk a bit further to get to our room. Within our room the shower kept heavily dripping throughout the entire stay. Day and night. Lastly, the bed was a bit too firm for our taste and a size smaller tha we booked but we didn’t complain. We had a great stay and it was very clean and smelled quite fresh.

The head of my bed was lower than the foot and there was a pit in the middle of the bed. Did not sleep much but woke up with a back ache and put my head at the foot of my bed because my left leg also started cramping terribly but didn’t have enough covers turned that way. There was also an air purifier in the room and it sounded like a mosquito zapper during the night. Another issue for a light sleeper. I don’t think I will be staying at this hotel again and this was my second stay. Very disappointing!

The property was clean and in good condition .My area of concern was an issue with streaming services . The main tv in living room did not work . I informed the front desk and the response i received was that they would make note of it and let their “media folks” take a look at it next time they were at the property. I would think an industry that should be all about customer service, this is not how to seal with that type if situation . I was not asked what could be done to “make things right “. The response given basically said “ohh well your loss” .

The 3 stars are due to deceiving adversed information, but if advertisedcorrectly, it will be 4 stars. Parking fee is $15 per day, not $10. The beds are not king size, those are maybe queen. Overall room is a bit outdated, which is not a big deal as it was very comfortable for the family (2 rooms/2 bathrooms, sofa bed and equipped full kitchen). Breakfast was fairly good, although not a fan of the "free range scramble egg" as it seems more like "liquid eggs" from a container. Staff was supper courteous and attentive.
