This hotel is located in Chinatown, very close to the Verizon Center, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, The National Portrait Gallery, and a host of restaurants. It is just a quick walk from Gallery Place Metro (be sure to exit at the Chinatown exit to get closest to destination) and from there you can easily get to Reagan National Airport... More

We stayed at the Fairfield Inn on May 12 to May 13, 2013. We were attending a concert at the Verizon Center, right down the street. When we arrived at around 1:00 PM, they had a room available even though check-in isn't until 3:00. Because I'm an avid trip advisor reader, I knew to ask for a room with a... More

This hotel is convenient (within walking distance) of many of the places one might want to visit in DC as well as being right in the heart of Chinatown. A few blocks from the Metro. Lots of great restaurants (not just of the Asian variety). The staff were friendly and helpful: concierge service was particularly good. Our room was spotlessly... More

Access is convenient, 2 easy blocks from the Metro, and near a good intersection for cabs and busses. Very near Verizon Center. Lobby is very small, but the staff was welcoming and pleasant. Continental breakfast is sparse. Room was OK but the bed was hard. This hotel is not in the best neighborhood; the area is not bad, but it... More

Good hotel, good staff and very good location. It would be four stars if not for the relatively high pricing. Room was great, everything was modern and comfortable. Restaurant was fine for breakfast but their Irish restaurant for lunch and dinner was also over-priced to value. One can can walk or Metro everywhere from this location. I will be back...

I would give this hotel 3-1/2 stars if possible since it is better than average, but I prefer other hotels I've given 4 star ratings and want to maintain internal consistency. We stayed here during a high-occupancy week - spring break and many conventions. We selected it due to our desire for a Marriott or Hilton property close to downtown... More

After a slow check-in by a welcoming staff member, our stay on one of the upper floors was outstanding (no street noise). The small lobby and room decor reflects its location in Chinatown. Happily, the breakfast buffet includes heart healthy foods; coffee, tea, water, and hot chocolate are all available 24/7 in the lobby where cookies appear in the late... More

Tired from traveling, we arrived at the hotel lobby, wanting to just check in and get some rest. But we could not check in and were rudely told by one staff to go for a walk and try to come back since there were no power in the building and the whole block. We waited at that small lobby, with...

This hotel is very well located just at the edge of Chinatown and only 2 blocks from the Verizon Center and the Spy Museum. It is an easy walk to the Newseum and the Capitol area. The decor reflects its location near to Chinatown. The property is well maintained and offers a very nice breakfast buffet. The downside is that... More

I stayed at the Fairfield Inn during a recent business trip due to "company policy". Pros-relative convenience to sights, efficient lobby, clean and comfortable room, lots of handy electric outlets. Cons-street noise, cheap furnishings. While it is not on a main street for hailing taxis, the hotel valet also whistled them down with gusto. On a rainy morning with thunderstorms,... More
