We were in the area for a concert so we just need somewhere to crash for one night and that’s all I would use this hotel for. Directions to get into the parking lot were messed up and we ended up having to make a couple different turns until we got it right. The elevator only worked the very first time we went to our room; we left 10 minutes after arriving and it would not go anywhere. The next morning, the same thing happened…the door didn’t even close all the way this time! Safe to say this left us feeling uneasy so we took the stairs. The room smelled damp and musty and everything inside felt damp. The only redeeming quality of our room was the super hot water in the shower…but the drain could not keep up with the volume of water so you will just be standing in a pool of water. Like I said, it served its purpose for one night but I wouldn’t stay longer and would not stay here again

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.

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.

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.

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

Four-day stay; housekeeping, never once, came to our room...On day three I asked front desk about lack of housekeeping and they said we had to notify them if we wanted room service... normally a hotel has a sign; YES or NO for housekeeping.... We had to go to desk for towels and TP.....
Staff was very courteous.... Very clean...

Front desk staff were friendly and courteous. Room was clean and we felt safe. Coffee at the front wasn't good, but that didn't change our minds. We will be coming back.

Very disappointing stay. Asked for extra towels, made me feel like I was planning on stealing them...I don't want your towels...fyi. Bathroom is small and there is really no place for privacy to change...unless you go into the bathroom and close the door....but then you are up against a toilet and tub/shower. I prefer not to put my clean cloths on a toilet while getting ready. Breakfast was good, but really was the only selling point of this location. While dealing with hotels.com, I was unable to check out a night earlier than we planned...we are a baseball family and our plans change based on weather/seeding/game schedule....it's super unreliable, so booking exact dates are difficult. Neither Holiday Inn Express or Hotels.com would help me with this....I paid for an extra night that we didn't even use. Buyer beware...even if you pay extra, you might not be able to get out of a reservation if plans change. Either way, I feel like this experience was NOT great and at this point I wouldn't recommend this Holiday Inn Express in Fairfax (there are a bunch of other hotels nearby...spend the extra couple of bucks for a nicer place to stay). I also feel as tho I will no longer be using hotels.com to book based on this experience. Maybe I didn't read the 'small print', but I guess I've learned my lesson and I will no longer book 3rd party due to the 'once you check in, you can't change anything about your stay' policy. Peace.

Price was good but you get what you pay for. Dated rooms, old spring mattresses, musty oder, and tbe "fitness center" was a joke.
6.0
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.

Stayed with two friends for a concert. Very clean, front desk was nice and helpful. The hallway was king of loud but only because we were across from the ice machine.

Perfect place to stay for a quick get away. Clean, convenient, and affordable. It also has a restaurant right next to it, so that was amazing.

The younger man at the front desk was very kind and nice. My room was nice and i slept pretty good the whole night lol the checkout being 12pm instead of the typical 11am is a nice touch also. i enjoyed my stay

Flimsy towels and not enough of them, carpet worn and needed cleaning, hard to darken the room due to built in outlet nightlight. Nothing awful, just meh.

The hotel is in a fairly congested area just outside of Washington DC so it's to be expected. The hotel itself was really nice. It was very clean and the service counter was OUTSTANDING at check-in. They did charge me an extra $100 for what I'm assuming is a security deposit but it was never mentioned during my reservation but it's all good. I understood. Very nice experience overall and they did sign me up for IHG rewards so that was appreciated. I'd stay here again if the opportunity came up in the future.

Rooms were quiet. No wi-fi (issue was beyond hotel) but they could not check me in without wanting a cash deposit. When I asked for receipt they said they could not print one because wi-fi was down. They did allow me to keep the cash and trust me to run my card when it it was up and running. Just to have a receipt book to make out receipts when this occurs would be an idea. Breakfast was poor. Very cramped spaces to sit if you could find a place to sit at all and things were not replenished without being asked to do so.
