Top Fairfax Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

8/10 Good

"Unfortunately the hot tub was broken and it is the top amenity I look for to book a hotel room. It is my recovery after long days of walking. I walked 10.5 miles our first day and was looking forward to relaxing and recovering my muscles in the hot tub. Went to the third floor and it had caution tape in front and closed. Nothing was mentioned at check in. I was very disappointed "

Hyatt Place National Harbor

8/10 Good

"We had a king room, which was was very nice because it included a large sitting area with an L-shaped sofa. One of my pet peeves is lack of seating in hotel rooms. It was very clean with a refrigerator and coffee maker. I wish there was an option for task lighting in the sitting area that would be less bright if one of us slept a bit later. We were there midweek to see a band playing in Alexandria. The hotel bar closed at 9pm so we were unable to stop in for a nightcap when we arrived back at the hotel at 10:30pm. If you are on a budget, please note that parking is not included and will cost $25 per night at the nearby garage. Breakfast is $11 PP for a typical serve yourself buffet that is included at many hotels. Staff was friendly and helpful."

Fairfield Inn by Marriott Washington D.C.

10/10 Excellent

"Fairfield is a very comfortable great hotel. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and well designed with necessary appliances (fridge, microwave, iron with table). It’s a safe area near police department and well located near fast foods. The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that the window curtain connecting outside was transparent. There isn’t a second curtain covering it as its stops only on the edges. Staff is very courteous, respectful, kind and professional. Thank you very much to Mr. Shawn for kindly checking us in and Mr. Chris for kindly checking us out. thanks The deposit is lower than the other hotels near by. The breakfast is very delicious "
