Hotels Near Van Dyck Park in Fairfax

I wouldn’t have written a review had it not been for Shaham’s exceptional service. He was extremely accommodating and super courteous during my stay. The breakfast was more than delightful and I got to enjoy chatting with the front desk on more than one occasion. Thank you again Shaham!

Really great spot for multi week business trip stay. Conveniently located to I-66, as well as all the businesses, stores, restaurants, that the City of Fairfax has to offer. The staff here were exceptional, very friendly, made comfortable conversation, greeted me by name, handed me my mail when I walked in through the lobby door, and definitely made this feel like a comforting place to return to at the end of each day. Definitely recommend to anyone needing a multi week or multi month place to stay in the Northern Virginia area.

Our 2-queen bed room was okay, nothing special. The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was great. Interestingly, when we tried the TV, it wouldn't turn on. I thought it might be the batteries in the remote. I called the front desk, and someone showed up in about 10 minutes. No, not the remote. He did something, i.e., put in some kind of code. Aren't hotel TV set supposed to be ”ready to go?” A recent review remarked about the lengthy check in process (with no one waiting). I experienced that too. Interesting? The breakfast room is huge and attractive. We sat at a table overlooking the pool. Breakfast, at best, was fair. The sausage patty was ice cold, in spite of it being in a metal container labeled ”hot.” The potatoes was not hot either. There were no pastries in the little pastry ”cabinet.” I had to ask about them. He brought out two kinds of mini muffins (okay) and, I think, donut holes (stale?), which were cold, probably just out of the refrigerator. Getting in and out of the hotel grounds was a challenge, i.e., not easily done, especially during high traffic times. And, yes, the hotel is convenient to GMU, only about 2 1/2 miles away.

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights at the end of March 2023. On arrival, we noticed that there was a cherry picker outside the hotel and that work appeared to be happening. At reception, there was a piece of paper taped to the desk explaining that building renovations had now been finished and that painting was all that was still being carried out - and that this would not happen outside 9-6. The check-in staff member advised that we would have to request a room refresh as Hampton Inn no longer did so - until the 5th night. We were on a 2-night stay. I asked the reason for this and he told me it was connected to Covid. When I pointed out that this no longer seemed a current reason he told me that it 'depends on which policy you read'. To me this is cost-cutting. The room was, however, lovely and recently refreshed. It was spotless. I agreed with the other reviewer about the lack of sound insulation through doors. We could hear everything out in the hallway - when someone went into the room next door or opposite it was so loud that it felt like they were coming into our room. We could also hear into the next-door bathroom. That was the only downside. That and the fact that we forgot to ask for that room refresh after all. Breakfast was standard.

The best value hotel near Washington Dulles Airport is the best choice for arriving in the evening. It is also convenient to travel to the city the next day. In addition, there are hot water and instant noodles, suitable for Chinese people.

This hotel is in desperate need of an update. Then lobby appeared to be updated and the lower level. The pool was closed due to COVID19 😞 The gym was pretty up todate and nice selection of equipment. Enjoyed my earlier morning work out. Now the elevator was on the small side the cart barley fit in. The floor of the elevator was stained and need to be replaced. The room was definitely need an update. They left no hand soap out and only had soap in the shower. The bathroom was very small and tight. The water pressure was low and took a long time to get hot water going. The room had a musty smell not sure if it was the sanitizer they used but cleared up pretty quickly with a little help from the Tide sanitizer spray I carry with me on every trip. The beds were comfortable but again two queens were rather close together and the refrigerator in the room was very small. The pictures of the room were after we slept so the beds were made properly didn’t think of getting pictures before hand. The breakfast area was nice they had a decent selection and were priced fairly for a hotel. The service was good and food came out quickly. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I would come back after they do an update for sure.

This is a 3-star hotel and it shows. As its name indicates, the rooms are suites and come with a small kitchenette, which includes a small sink, refrigerator, coffee maker, and a small microwave. Our room also had a small living room with a couch. The TV in our room was set at an awkward position, opposite the wall that separates the living room and the bed. This was probably an attempt to be visible from both, but made it difficult to watch from either space. The room did not have a safe and there was only one drawer to store things. The cupboard was good size and came with an ironing board. The AC was quite loud and we were staying on one of the lower floors so the general noise level in the room was quite higher than in other hotels we stayed. Nearby (0.2 miles) there is a small mall with a choice of restaurants and a grocery store. This hotel is near the George Mason University and is one of the university's preferred hotels. So many families stay here when they visit the university. However there is no hotel shuttle to take you there. So, you either need to have a car or to pay taxi back and forth. The breakfast can be improved. We didn't expect it to be a full continental breakfast, but it seemed minimal. There were no bagels, English muffins, waffles or similar. On the other hand there were pre-packaged cereal and milk, pre-packages hot sandwiches, boiled eggs and some fruit. This could be due to COVID, but the look of these things did not inspire confidence for their quality. Again this is a 3-star inexpensive hotel, so one cannot complain that much.

We have stayed at the Fairfax Marriott Fair Oaks 25+ times over the last 8 years while visiting our son and his wife who live in Fairfax. Additionally, we have frequently had friends and family stay there while visiting too. Originally, we loved the hotel, but it has increasingly become worn and in disrepair. This past weekend will likely be the last time we stay there, unless measures are taken to correct many of the issues we so disappointedly encountered. A large group of us traveled to Fairfax and all booked rooms at the hotel (10 rooms) . We found the rooms in need of better cleaning and physical and mechanical repairs. It started when I arrived, got to the room which was not very clean, had torn draperies, and an air conditioner which clanged constantly. The maintenance man, who was lovely, came promptly to try to fix the noise issue, but could not. As a result, my room was changed to another floor, with no one helping me. The next room, had a very dark entry from the hall, as the lights there were not working. Upon entry, the room was also in need of a better cleaning, the door handle was falling off, and the faucets needed repair. When family and friends arrived, they too were certainly not thrilled with their rooms for similar reasons. Well before coming, I spoke with the front desk and hospitality agent about the possibility of having a space available to greet family and friends as the arrived and so we could spend a bit of time together. Although they said yes, the next day I received a email from the banquet manager, stating there were no such spaces available. In the past, we’ve used a hospitality room there for this purpose, but I was told there was absolutely no way they could accommodate my request. On The night when guests arrived, the hospitality roo off of the main lobby was in fact vacant all night, but the front desk manager said we needed to ask for it in advance to get tables and chairs. I had that request, in writing, but it did not matter. They did finally make a space arrangement for us when they realized we were simply going to stay in the lobby., because they did not want some of the children ‘running wild,’ in the lobby. Overall, the hotel and staff did not do much to be accommodating or welcoming, with a few notable exceptions (the woman overseeing the restaurant for breakfast was very kind and helpful). We are Marriott Bonvoy members, and ad stated earlier, have been frequent guests at this hotel. Unless significant changes are implemented very shortly, we will choose to stay elsewhere, as there are many fine options in this area.

2 Nights solo traveler, October 27-29, 2023. I would not recommend nor stay here again Mediocre hotel. Room B-225 - back of the hotel, far from check-out, breakfast and gym. Parking at night was a bit sketchy in the back, so I parked closer to the front and walked further. If the weather was cold or rainy/snowy, this would have been quite cumbersome. The room was clean and spacious, with a full kitchen. However my room had a missing privacy curtain, so the drapes had to remain closed. Drapes were old and tattered with holes. The bed sheets, clean, were also old and had holes. The breakfast was your free, standard, high-carb American breakfast: pancakes, cereals, breads, etc. Check-in (although the check-in guy gave me a sub-par room) and check-out was efficient. . $5/night parking Convenient location close to restaurants, shops, freeway.
