We have family in Springfield, VA and this location was perfect 15 minute drive away. Much nicer than typical chain hotels where we've stayed in the past. Staff was helpful and professional. Even though we were unaware of a special Mother's Day Brunch that was fully booked, they made room for 7 unexpected guests! We asked for a room in... More

The Mason Inn, located on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax VA, was a recent conference stay. A very clean and bright property with very good service. The Inn is approx a 30 min shuttle ride from Vienna Metro stop (end of the Orange Live) and the shuttle operates every 30 min. I didn't wait more than 10... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my four nights at GMU's Mason Inn. It is clean, well-appointed, big enough that it never seemed crowded, even with lots of people around. House keeping did a seamless job maintaining their high standards over a weekend of different staff. The room, with two queen beds, was more than large enough, and the bathroom was substantial. Though... More

First time at the Mason Inn - three nights in late April. The staff were friendly, efficient and accommodating. My room was large, comfortable and well-appointed (iHome clock great for night charging of my iPhone :). And quiet (nice corner room- 5019). Housekeeping excellent. Was there for professional reasons and so I can say the conference rooms were fine. Boxwoods... More

I have stayed at this hotel twice and love it, but both times I was given a large corner room with a very noisy fan. Next year I have to remember to ask for another room. I eat at the bar, the food was delicious and he service great.

Stayed at the Mason Inn for 3 nights in April 2013. Our son had a graduate student recital at George Mason University. The room was huge and immaculate all 3 days.
