Pros: As a woman traveling alone at night, I really appreciated how brightly lit the parking area was. It felt much safer than most hotel parking lots. My hotel room was very clean, and check in was quick. Possible Cons: there are only two floors, so if you prefer a high floor, that isn't a possibility here. And there is no small makeup mirror, if that's something you need. The area isn't particularly walkable and there isn't anything nearby you can get to on foot. Overall: This is a great pick for a short term stay close to Dulles Airport.

Another great stay here. O’Malley’s fed and wined us with a very good steak at 10 p.m. Slept in comfy bed, good shower, nice staff. Shuttle on time stated and very friendly. Yep, our go-to when flying through Dulles!

Perfect for overseas travelers

I/we stay here (and use long-term parking) every time we fly overseas. Convenient/frequent shuttle service to/from IAD and an onsite restaurant is a huge advantage for those returning from lengthy travels (we only have to stumble back to our room after dinner rather than drive when we’re super-tired).

We felt room itself was a little dated. Toilet was low and not "comfort level type. Being older only 1 grab bars in tub making entering and exiting difficult for us. Desk area had no plugs at desk top level making it a non working area. Again, staff nice, lobby fine cleanliness fine just needs a little updating in our opinion.

Had a looney tune in the room next to me who yelled from 1130 at nigh until 6 in the morning. Every time my girlfriend called the front desk they got an attitude with her. I eventually asked for another room and got an attitude about that. Staff is not friendly.

Place is ok for couple of days. AC was making lot of noise. Not good for light sleepers. Also the flush in bathroom would make loud noise.Bedding linen seems very old, not good on sensitive skin. If ok with above then worth the money.

Very comfortable but definitely a transit hotel

Very good. Very clean, comfortable bed and pillows. Keurig and fridge in the room. I didn’t give it 5 stars because: the hot tub closed at 9. I arrived 8:50 pm so I was bummed. Also it’s 12 minutes from the airport so close but not right next to it (I know that wouldn’t work logistically). The airport shuttles fill up fast in the am. Because it’s a hotel where the majority of guests are in transit, you hear people in the halls at all hours. Super late and SUPER early.
