While the room was clean and quiet, and only about a 10 minute walk to the Metro Station, we had to lug our suitcases up a flight of stairs as there’s no elevator. They mention “breakfast pack” but didn’t see anything near the small coffee station. Location isn’t ideal if looking to dine nearby; restaurants that somewhat close have limited parking which sometimes require pay-to-park areas.

Always a pleasure here! Quiet, clean, wonderful staff. We love this hotel! Doesn’t hurt that they are next to 2 fab restaurants and one of the best coffee shops in Falls Church. Walking to and from metro, too. Walks in the area.
Love this place!

We used to have a full breakfast. During our recent stay, it was a wheat bagel, cream cheese, apple and apple juice in a paper bag-day after day. We were very disappointed.
Breakfast was not as I expected. Very poor breakfast

The hotel had multiple issues. All the parking lot lights were not functioning. The refrigerator in our room did not work. We were told it works but "it doesn't get cold" by the front desk. The cable box did not work the first night. The maintenance man couldn't fix until the next day. No TV for the night.There are no elevators so plan on stairs.My wife has bad knees and stairs are tough. We wouldn't have booked if we knew that.There was an abandoned car in the parking lot next to our vehicle. The continental breakfast was a brown paper bag with an apple,bagel and juice. They kept these behind the front desk and you had to ask for one. We would recommend elsewhere if you have the choice. Would like our money back! We had to give them an additional $150 dollar room deposit in case someone smoked in the room. We were told it would take 5 to 7 days to get a credit on our card for this.
Place was not pet friendly even though I had a service animal. When checking out of the hotel sitting in my car the guy came out and knocked l and accused me of smoking in the hotel room. Not sure where that came from we checked out in the morning and came out and we're smoking in the truck. Then he would not let us leave.
Very good value for the price.Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location close to metro and dining. The breakfast included was a little too aimple
very ecomonical-- for breakfast I was handled a bag with a bagel cream cheese and an apple--but a fancy place but inexpensive when i needed to save money. Look forward to going again if I need to go to Washington, walking distance to metro stop an also has a small gym--not a fancy place but pleasant and clean
This hotel was mis-represented on Expedia. The property was old and dated. The room was small with very little room to walk around the bed, limited drawer and closet space, tiny cramped bathroom with thin small towels. The “continental breakfast “ consisted of a sack with a chewy bagel, tiny cream cheese, a small juice cup, and an apple that wasn’t quite ripe. There were limited choices for dinner in the area. It was nearly a mile walk to the nearest Metro station.
This hotel doesn’t deserved to be listed on Expedia.
The room looked fine but it didn’t smell nice and there was some kind of rattle coming from the AC unit or fridge. The shower head had orange mildew and the bathroom was tiny and has very old cheap fixtures that should have been replaced 20 years ago. We had to get the toilet plunged because the toilet didn’t flush well. The pillows were lumpy but the bed was comfortable. We stayed here one night because it was close to the metro. It was not cheap but should have been. It was the worst value of anywhere we stayed in the DC area.
Honestly was very satisfied with the price and what the place had to offer, I did not expect it to be so clean, updated and nice. Also super close to a Metro station and very convenient. Definitely will stay there again when in DC area !

The staff was kind. The walk to the train was doable. The continental breakfast was a bagel with cream cheese, orange juice, and a green apple that was too tart to eat.
