The check-in clerk was very pleasant and professional, but there are amenities missing: a breakfast buffet (there is free if mediocre coffee), a bar, and a minibar. Also, the HVAC goes on and off very loudly throughout the night. It is conveniently close to Dulles, however.

Paper thin walls, smells like trash, hair in the bathtub, temperature is hot, the “market” downstairs isn’t even stocked.

The staff is great, doing their best, BUT - the hotel does NOT have shuttle service? What kind of airport area hotel is this? No dining option withing the walking distance or inside the hotel. They should advise that this facility is best accessed with rental car (cheapest Uber ride is $15.00 for 4 miles(!) This hotel needs its management to keep the customer's needs in focus.

PROs- good location , good service , clean rooms CONs- they didn’t have the room I booked ! Came to Herndon and I booked through Expedia . I specifically wanted a kitchenette and 2 beds . Slightly expensive but I went ahead and booked it . The location was good and parking lot was big and was good . Room was near and clean . Bathrooms were ok .. When I went to check in , I was told that they didn’t have the room I booked . I was initially upset but then they gave me 2 rooms next. To each other with 1 bed in each room ! The guy in front desk was helpful even though I didn’t get what I booked . No complimentary breakfast .. not much of amenities . It was an average experience . 3 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

I liked the room overall. The bathroom could have been improved a little (toilet handle slightly broken), and the room was extremely hot when we came in, but other than that I was very impressed. The service at the front desk was the best I've had at a hotel in a while, and the parking was easy with plenty of great dining options within a reasonable driving distance. The fitness centre was great to have as well. All in all, a reasonable experience and would stay here again!

Gross. Nothing good about this property, except proximity to IAD. Too much light from the outside with no curtains that either keep light out or provide privacy. Noisy fridge. Dirty carpet. General issues with upkeep. Entire hotel smelled like vomit. Had to switch rooms because the toilet was broken and running in first room, also broken/disconnected phone.

This hotel was decent but not great. Granted, it was a little cheaper than other hotels around there, but only like $20 or so. It almost had a private inn type of feel. Lobby was very small. Even though it said smoke-free facility, the hallway on my floor smelled like cigarette smoke, masked with air freshener. The hallways were very creepy too by the way. The room was pretty decent. I enjoyed having a kitchen and fridge in the room. The room was fairly clean. The bathtub didn't drain very well. The TV did not work that well. The remote wouldn't change the channel or access the guide for some reason, and the TV didn't have buttons on it that you could manually change channels. So, I was stuck watching on channel the whole time. I brought a streaming stick, but couldn't change inputs on the TV, so I couldn't use that either. There was a box of leftover takeout in the fridge on the top shelf that was not taken out. I ignored it but it made me wonder what else they missed in the room. It was also a little noisy out in the hallway. You could hear every word when people walked by talking or hear a door being shut. The front desk staff was very nice. I did appreciate that. Overall, it was a decent stay but I think I would probably pay a little more to go to a little better place.

The location is nice, and the staff was nice, but the property in general was a little run down. The drawers were slanted, the door had a huge opening where it closed, you could see light from the outside. But for the price, it wasn't bad.

In town for business and booked this at the last minute. The staff was amazing, property and room were very clean, and it was quiet. I loved the large desk in the room, I was able to spread out my work stuff and got a lot done in the evening. Will definitely use this place again when I come back to town.

We were able to check in an hour early. We only stayed one night. It was comfortable and let our needs. The door was kinda bent on one side. It didn’t impede with its ability to open/close or lock but still noticeable. Made me wonder if someone tried preying it open in the past.

Would be a very good choice for long-term stays, a lot of apartment like amenities. Microwave, stove top, dishwasher, full size fridge. I did not however feel it was particularly quiet. The fridge for example was exceedingly noisy in the middle of the night. And only a few feet away from your bed. It woke me multiple nights, until I got into the habit of turning it off before bed each night.

The rooms are very nicely decorated and the color scheme makes it feel like a much more expensive hotel. That being said, even after I had paid for the room to extend another night, I was informed at check out time (when I had simply come down to recheck in) that they did not have a room for me. I had paid and received confirmation of my booking. None of my stuff was packed. They proceeded to rush me out and I had to find another accommodations last minute and without the money I had spent on the room they didn’t give me.

Unfortunately flight delays and once I arrived at the hotel, no one picked up the phone to let me in to check in. Instructions were to dial 0. If you don’t pick up the phone. What’s the point if the establishment doesn’t answer. I’ve done as instructed and feel like I’ve been ripped off. I never checked in. So disappointed. Establishment gets a Zero…

The bed was comfortable and the temperature of the room very pleasant. The location is convenient for a short drive to restaurants and shopping.
