My husband and I spent 12 days in late October, early November 2012 at this hotel. It is probably truer to describe it as a motel; it has two stories. We enjoyed a large room, sparkling clean bathroom, free parking, wi fi and a remarkable hot and cold breakfast each morning, including pancakes and self-made waffles, which were scrumptious. Service was responsive, the people at the desk and the cleaning crew were friendly and helpful. The hotel was quiet and clean, two major criteria for us, and the price was very competitive.

This hotel is not a glitzy place; it is older, but well maintained and very clean.

We found many more than satisfactory restaurant options within minutes of the hotel, and staff recommended a few that were actually within walking distance.

If we were to return to this area, there is no question that we would stay there again.

This was a very nice stay. We really liked the breakfast in the mornings.
The pool looked nice, but it was too cold to try it out.
It was very convenient to mass transit. The bus to the metro was right across the street.

We stayed at the BW Fairfax for about seven days. The hotel itself is not the newest, but it didn't matter one bit because it was clean, clean. The bed was comfortable, linens were plentiful and fresh, and the staff was most helpful. The breakfast cannot be beat-you would be hard pressed to find a place that offered more or better. We used the washing machine/dryers and again, the area was very clean. We didn't swim but the pool was sparkling-saw someone cleaning out leaves daily. The hotel is about a 5-10 minute drive from the rail cars and there is adequate parking on ground and the garage. It takes about 30-45 min depending on time of day to get into DC but being at the end of the line, you are always assured of a seat to go into the city. We would have extended our stay but the storm changed our plans. For our next trip to the area, we will definitely stay there again and I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone.

we stayed at fairfax for 5 nights end august, all staff were very good and helped when we had problems with taxi s not turning up, the breakfasts were superb ( we are british), rooms excellent, extra point for kettle would be advantage. pool kept very clean with lifeguard on permanent duty. easy jouney into washington as bus picks up outside and delivers you to the metro/ tube station. just to say my family consisted of 140!! yes and not one complaint.
thankyou fairfax from Kidsgrove Scouts England .( drum corp associates).
