    The room was spacious. The pullout couch was not the best. All I heard all night were people stomping around in the room above us. We only stayed one night and I dont think I would want to stay longer. The hotel was "ok" and served our need for the time we were in town for a show.

    We were pleasantly suprised at the large and roomy size of our 2 bedroom/two bath suite. The suite included a kitchen, dining area and living area, including a gas fireplace. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were well equipped. Parking was good. Staff were courteous and helpful. If we are visiting family in the area we will stay there again.

    Some, (not all), of the Spanish speaking workers are extremely rude and biased to certain guests. The on-site manager (Ahmed) seemed oblivious on how to handle their lack of professionalism and was inefficient at customer service. When we greeted one male worker and said “Good Morning “, he couldn’t be bothered to smile or utter “Good Morning” or even “Buenos Dias”. The failure of this man to be courteous to guests was followed up with poor treatment by another Spanish speaking worker, Noura. She proceeded to speak condescendingly about certain guests when she believed they didn’t understand Spanish. The lack of customer service and tendency to blame guests when their services fell short of what was advertised. The lack of leadership and accountability by management to understand how the mistreatment of certain guests may be a bigger issue and a violation of several laws. Management seemed oblivious.

    This was ideal for my family because I needed to have a kitchen to make my son food since it's hard to go out to eat the Celiac disease. Everything was great and the only complaint I had is that our coffee pot didn't work and I called a couple of times and nobody came to replace it. My son also didn't care for the pull out couch but the bed was great!

    My husband and I stayed here on a drive home. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet and well maintained everything is. The hotel has great close access to highway but feels quiet and tucked away. The flowers and landscaping are very well maintained and the rooms are very clean. I would highly recommend.

    The Hotel needs updating. I have stayed here multiple times in the last two years. The elevator is gross. The laundry room in A building had only one working washer and you need coins to operate (suggest upgrade to cc's). Walls and carpet throughout need to be replaced. Cleanliness is "ok" not great. My toilet backed up for no apparent reason and when I called the front desk I was told no one on premises to address but that I could come down and get a plunger:) which I did and addressed it myself. I will say there was one employee who worked the evening on May 16th to had to come to my room to fix my TV. And I appreciated that!

    We booked this hotel because of its convenient location and pet friendly. The hotel is clean but shows signs of wear. The breakfast was very good and plenty of seating. The room kitchen was stocked but the coffee maker did not work. All bath toiletries were good and used during our visit. Walking distance to many restaurants and stores. We were moving and Sonesta worked for us.

  • Kimberlyn May 2026 · via expedia
    3/5

    Our overall stay here was acceptable, but it wasn't what we hoped it would be. To begin with, we had the worst welcome we've ever had at a hotel (Friday afternoon, male at the desk). No welcome, paper just handed to us to initial. When we went to our room, there were many people standing at the building entry door smoking (front desk is in a separate building) and the entry door wasn't latched (throughout the weekend it was only latched twice but WOULD lock when pulled tight). Our room was on the ground floor with the window next to the parking lot and the area where everyone was smoking. We returned to the desk to ask to have another room and the man at the desk said they were sold out but then after quite a bit of sighing, found us a room on the second floor across the hall but said it wasn't ready yet and to come back. We sat on the patio, where we could see torn screens on a few rooms and lots of clutter in the windows. It became apparent that many people are longterm residents (kids coming home with backpacks). Eventually our room was ready and the room was fine. Did have crying kids across the hall with really loud toys, but they quieted after bedtime. Breakfast was ok. On Sunday there was no meat, just eggs and biscuits/gravy. The weekend desk person was quite nice. We are new to the Sonesta family and hope this visit was a fluke as we are in the area several times a year to visit our son and would like to find a place we automatically book every time for our trips

    The lady who was working when I checked out was very nice and asked about my stay. The man who checked me in (William) had the personality of a tree stump. No welcome, no smile, no nothing. I often wonder why people with absolutely no customer service skills take customer service jobs?

    Really loved this place. It was within minutes from the Vienna station, which was exactly what I needed. Every staff member was super kind and polite. Missed breakfast both days due to my personal schedule, so I was bummed about that based on other reviews! Parking was only $5 a night and based on location, I would definitely stay here again.

    Breakfast was tasty with a solid variety, including fresh options for making breakfast sandwiches. Reasonable Pet Fee. The Bad: Staff were not friendly—more indifferent than rude—and often unavailable. I waited 15 minutes at the front desk just to check out. I requested a handicap-accessible room with no stairs but was placed on the second floor. The only elevator was on the opposite side of the building, with no nearby handicap parking. The TV didn’t work and had to be rewired by staff. Trash barrels near the entrance doors were overflowing, and there was a constant smell of alcohol, marijuana, and vaping in the area. The Ugly: The toilet ran constantly unless manually adjusted—something housekeeping should have caught, especially since the room didn’t feel clean. A smoke detector directly above the bed flashed a bright light every few minutes, repeatedly waking us. The dog relief area was filthy, with waste scattered throughout and no visible maintenance. Worst of all, constant plumbing noise. Water ran frequently during the day, then nonstop starting at 4:20 a.m. for over an hour—sleep was impossible. Checked out and won’t be back.

    I choose to stay at this hotel because I bring my dog along. This last time I was bothered on two separate occasions about my dog. Both times I was not out long. If you guys have a dog policy, you should expect barking even on the second time I got called. I approached the front desk before leaving and let them know I would be stepping out and to please not call me and they still did. I understand it was not the staff, but they could have handled that differently with whomever called.

    Having a full refrigerator and dishwasher is appreciated! The chargers next to one side of the bed didn't work, which found out the hard way, but the rest did. Internet is not great, but free--the paid one is only slightly better than the normal internet, so you should be fine with the free. Breakfast buffet is clean and restocked often; for celiac there aren't gluten free options except the eggs, which is not a fault, just a heads up. There is a $5 a day charge for parking--the lot is not gated or patrolled, so this seemed a bit silly to me. The location is great, super close to food, parks, and the highways, yet far enough away to be super quiet. There's a weird, never open house looking building in the lot up above the hotel, so we spent half the time in the hotel trying to figure out what it was and when the trucks were moved--we had a whole back story going on, for what I'm sure is a normal building. :) Would highly recommend for family travel as well.

    Room was clean. Housekeeping was very good. Breakfast was not the best I’ve had at hotel breakfast bars. Oatmeal that was supposed to be cooked was place in microwave and serve to other patrons and me watery like soup and not softened. Also, breakfast was often not ready at stated start times which meant breakfast had to be skipped.

    Also, 5 dollars a day for parking. No hotel in Fairfax charges for parking. It’s not in the city and there is plenty of parking, another was of making unjustified profit. Will 5 dollars a day kill me, no but enough of the nickel and diming — stop. I will stay somewhere else in the future.

    For the most part the room was okay. We had one main concern however. Our granddaughter was traveling with us so we had requested a room for three. When got there we found that the sleeping arrangements for the third person was a joke of a sofa bed. It was a series of bars and springs with little or no padding. She ended up sleeping on the floor over some folded up mattress pads. The last night she slept at her cousin's house across town and finally got some rest.

    Lady at front check in continued to say "i am new" when she couldn't answer any questions related to the property or amenities we wished to utilize. Phone in room didnt ring to front at all when we tried to get some help. I fell at the door to the right of the main entrance and injured myself. The light was very dim, it was night, the sidewalk has a huge gap/misalignment and I got my foot caught and fell face first, my knees took the brunt of the fall and are both severely swollen, scratched up, and bruised very badly.

    I did enjoy my stay here, and came back again because what I really loved was the outside atmosphere around the property which includes nice paths to walk, basketball court and more. Perfect especially with young kids or pets. It’s also a great location as there are many stores/restaurants close. If you are traveling or don’t have your own transportation, walking distance. Loved having the full fridge, stove top and anything needed to cook with and a spacious room. They do offer breakfast in the morning as well which my son loved the first stay, hust made our own this time. The manager, Hannah was more than accommodating when a minor issue came up and am very appreciative of that. I will definitely return with my family!

    Our room (2 BR) was large, and the beds were comfortable. However, there was noise from traffic, the air conditioner, and the folks on the upper floor. At check-in we were told that we had requested a wheelchair and a wheelchair accessible room which was not the same as an accessible room. I guess you need to be extremely explicit about any special requests. On the whole, it was a very good stay.

    The “crib” they promised to have brought to the room ended up being a dirty pack-and-play with stains on it. It also was not secure and collapsed on one side with baby in it. This was brought after asking multiple times to please bring the crib that was requested over a month prior. The refrigerator in the room was randomly very loud like a kid squealing a few times and then back to quiet. Not a huge deal until it woke me in the night. Just a very average place with raggedy features.

    I would recommend it if anyone asked. I would definitely ask them if they prefer their room right next to an entrance where a lot of traffic comes and goes. (My dog hears everything.) Also, if you have a young child and or dog and a lot of belongings to get a room where you can use a trolley for your belongings. The AC did keep turning off in the middle of the night so I had to have it running all night. The outside was very nice to walk around and atmosphere was nice. Staff was very friendly and professional. Room was spacious for my son. However , I have never had to pay for parking at a hotel. I did hit my leg on the bed frame multiple times, which sticks out. It all depends on what’s more important to you when staying somewhere, especially for the cost per night. :) If from out of town, I would definitely recommend for location.

    Paper thin walls - we were in bed at 9:30pm, and all night heard the baby in the room next door crying, kids running up and down the halls until 11:00pm, and the lady across the hall opening and closing her door while doing some very late packing. We called down to the lobby for them to please come up and talk to the people with the kids in the hallway and constantly opening and shutting of doors. We finally got to sleep around 3:30am and had to wake up at 4:15am for our flight. This place is lipstick on a pig - it's got a great layout, it was clean, it's updates, and even the bed is comfortable - but no one cares about any of that if they can't actually get to sleep because of the walls being too thin. I would have totally preferred an old and outdated if I could have actually slept in it.

    The suite was great: clean, spacious, great bed, nice kitchenette, everything needed. But this is an Extended Stay hotel and my neighbors were on one side an apparently single day with three bored sons under 10 marauding through the hallways and stairwells and very loud way past 11, and on the other a large family with what sounded like a very young baby and a raft of other kids who were crying and screeching until the wee small hours. Thank God for the white noise of the HVAC system and for the ear plugs i never travel without. I asked for a quiet suite away from the highway. Instead I got this one, overlooking a busy multi lane parkway and the above mentioned neighbors, for whom I felt some pity, but who allowed very little rest or sleep😕
