What guests think

At DoubleTree by Hilton Sterling - Dulles Airport, travelers frequently praise the convenient airport location and generally friendly staff, with comfortable beds that suit short stopovers before or after flights.

Across reviews, the property is described as dated, with recurring maintenance problems (keys, plumbing, AC, TVs) and intermittent cleanliness issues, including odors and occasional pests. Facilities draw mixed feedback: pool and hot tub closures or cleanliness problems, intermittent equipment outages (business center, elevators, ice machines), no guest laundry despite listings, and an airport shuttle that can have limited hours or be inconsistent. Dining experiences vary; some enjoyed the bar and meals, while others found breakfast confusingly charged or mediocre and restaurant prices high. Expect a convenient, serviceable stay with friendly staff, but an older hotel where reliability varies by room and amenity.

This property is not my favorite. It’s beautiful on the outside, easy to park, good location if you’re going to be traveling around various parts of northern VA but there are issues. On Expedia it was advertised that this property had laundry facilities which we were counting on and we learned they have none for guests. The property also has an indoor pool which the kids were excited about and it was closed for maintenance the entire time we were there with seemingly no work being done on it, just closed. The restaurant was not great at the hotel and is really pricey. The room was a good size and seems to be sound proof which was a strong point and the gym is small but a great mix of everything to keep you fit while traveling.

The facility had great staff from the front desk to the bar. Would have liked to seen a clock in the workout center and cups for water. The door took seven tries before it opened and other quest had the same problem.The pool and sauna were refreshing. Unfortunately the business center had computers but were not working for 2 days. Left my computer at home. Would like to see in future non alcoholic beer.

We stayed there before we had to fly out of Dulles and it says they provide a shuttle bus to the airport but if you have an early flight you can’t get on shuttle bus till 6:00am. So we had to Uber to the airport which cost about $30 and when we were ready to be picked up from the airport the shuttle bus never came so we had to Uber back to the hotel. And parking your car at the hotel was cheaper than parking at the airport. Rooms were clean!

Great staff, comfy beds...REALLY COMFY, cookies!!!! My only negative comment is one of the elevators that i almost got stuck in and the night hotel representative that basically made me feel like I was stupid. Monday January 22, 2024 after 9pm. Got into elevator 1 and pushed my floor button...yes i also scanned my keycard...and it bounced and showed "Out of Service". Thankfully the door opened. I reported this to "him" and not only was he dissmissive but wouldnt answer my question about where i could find stairs to get to my floor.

The staff were very friendly, the food, and the restaurant was very good. I did, however, have ants in my luggage that I had stored in the closet and there were no bags in the trash cans when I needed to throw away food or something like that which also did not help with the ant Situation. It wasn’t a lot, but it was enough. Bathrooms were very clean. The gym was also very nice not huge but exactly what you needed for Jim at a hotel stay would definitely come back for the amount of Terminex vehicles in the parking lot I feel the ants could’ve been handled

I was put in a room that smelled like pee. I called and kept call with the Staff doing anything about it. After five calls and 8 plus hours I was moved to a new room. That was after I made it clear that I will not be sleeping in the room. The new room had strong chemical smell that flared up my sinuses by the morning.

Woke up after our third night with bed bug bites. I complained to the staff and was told a manager will reach out to me. We checked out and have not heard anything back. Terrible experience! Terrible service! Do NOT stay at this hotel. Plus now I’m terrified to bring back bed bugs home with us. We will have to get an exterminator to avoid contaminating our home.

In my room, I had difficulty with the door, which could have been because of the heat and humidity, causing it to swell and making it difficult to open. Also, the room had a funky smell. Lastly, I went down to breakfast, and many in the dining room thought it was free and then as we started eating a woman came around to say there was a charge. What are you supposed to do as you are already eating? There should have been someone right by the entrance to the buffet saying you will be charged $19.

The stay at Double Tree Hilton Sterling was good to great. Checking in was not trouble, Ozman (sp.) assisted us and was very informative. The size of the room was good, only problem was it had a rolled up wet towel in which I took down to the front and a new towel was brought up to the room. We had trouble with our room key which had to be replace three times just for an overnight stay. Overall, Ozman was really helpful in all our needs and made the stay great. Will definitely stay at Double Tree again.

The only issue we had was when we went to get breakfast the employee acted very rude while retrieving our name and room number. Then when we wasn’t on her list she said “ well your not on my list so it’s going to cost you $17.95 per person”.I showed her our booking itinerary. She then said” I have to check with the front desk”. All the while expressing an attitude as if we was doing something wrong. There was between 20-30 people present. She should have approached us in a different manner.

Overall it's very good place for reasonable price. Good beds, light, food and so on. The only things which I will recommend to improve: 1) ventilation in the bathroom (it might be an engineering mistake. Worth to check other DT hotels). Its just not draw the air from bathroom. Just do tests. 2) the restaurant does not have a wine list.
