I stayed at the Hotel Sierra from June 4 through June 9, 2008.

Lobby/Check-in:
When I first arrived at the hotel, I thought it was wonderfully modern, and beautifully decorated with soothing spa colors. The reservation agents that greeted me were professional, thorough and helpful.

Room:
I stayed with 2 other relatives in a double bed studio suite (2 double beds, sofabed, and kitchen). The beds were extremely plush and comfortable. The couch which converted into a sofabed was more than adequate. There was a flat screen tv and iPod station clock radio. The kitchen had stainless steel fridge, coffee maker, microwave, stovetop, utensils, dishes, pans, wine bottle openers, strainers-- everything you could possibly need. We had no intentions on cooking, but it came in handy when we reheated restaurant leftovers. It had a 2-part bathroom: sink and closet outside, shower/tub and toilet inside.

Food:
They had a complimentary breakfast buffet each morning, which was the absolute best I've ever had. They had an omelet station, cereals, bagels, fruit, waffles, bacon, sausage, orange juice, coffee, tea, and spa water (you know, the pitcher of water filled with fruit for flavor!) I highly recommend that you not miss it - 6:30am to 9:30am.

In the evenings, you can get some light fare and wine at their lobby bar, which has comfortable chairs, couches and big screen televisions. They serve decent California wines at great prices. I suggest you try one of their pizza appetizers.

Business Center:
I forgot to take my laptop (free wireless access throughout the hotel), but their Business Center was more than adequate-- 4 Dell computer stations, 2 HP printers, all the office supplies you might need, and available 24/7.

This hotel was better than any Hyatt I've stayed in the past. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in the Dulles airport/Sterling/Reston/Great Falls area.

My family came to the D.C. area for vacation and absolutely loved our stay here! Not the most convenient for sightseeing, but not far from the Metro (short drive) so just slight inconvenience there. Hotel was absolutely gorgeous, very friendly staff, excellent breakfast buffet. Our room expectation was exceeded. Only problem was each day we had to request additional towels, but very prompt response from front desk. Property was very clean. Excellent price too - especially if you stay 5 or more days - hotel website had best rate! I had searched for weeks for a reasonable price and this was VERY reasonable. Would definitely stay here again for a trip to DC! Thanks Hotel Sierra for a wonderful stay!

Before I touch on the negative I need to let you know this is a great hotel in a great location, great great great I can't say that enough I would with out hesitation stay here again and would encourage everyone to stay here the hotel is beautiful, the room is amazing and the breakfast is second to none....but...

When I booked the room (directly from the hotel's site) they offered basically a $30 discount if you pre-paid...which I did.

I booked and paid for the one bedroom suite check in was at 3pm I arrived at 2:30pm others were checking in I got in line. Without a question they checked me in got me a room and off we went. I got to my room...studio suite (downgrade) I went downstairs and thought, hey simple mistake no big deal, no harm, no foul. I pointed out to the front desk staff that I pre-paid for a one bedroom suite and got a studio, this guy gave me the biggest deer in the headlights look I had ever seen, he took my confirmation from me looked at it like it was in a foreign language, looked at his computer (he still hasn't said a word to me) after five minutes of back and forth between the computer and my print out from home he said, "you need to come back in an hour." Why?" I asked. "You room's not ready” So you just gave me a lesser room and didn't tell me or offer a refund for the difference. His response was, "oh, sorry 'bout that." After an hour I did in fact get the proper room but the front desk staff didn't even tell me about it, no "sorry you had to sit in the lobby for an hour here's your key." He sent the bell hop over with the key and didn't say a word to me.

Now again other than that the room was great both rooms I saw during this stay and the lobby is very nice too I'm qualified to say that since I sat there for an hour. Fast forward to the next morning.

At 9am I got up, left my wife asleep in bed and I headed down stairs to get breakfast for the two of us, I returned to my wife frantic and fully dressed. My god what happened, she said shortly after I left the room there was a knock on the door she cussed me for forgetting my key and wiped the sleep from her eyes and headed to let me in. As she entered the living area of the room the door fling open and it was housekeeping standing face to face with my half-naked wife housekeeping backed out of the room and didn't say a word. And best of all I had the Don Not Disturb sign on the door. I stomped down to the front desk and it was my buddy from the day before I told him what happened and guess what he said...yup, you guessed it, "oh sorry about that."

Other than that it was great

  • Liked — Decor, breakfast, too many to mention.
  • Disliked — staff that won't

Nice new hotel. Room was beautiful, breakfast was outstanding. Since I was there for business the location was fine. This is not where I would stay for lesiure travel. My only complaint was that I asked a month in advance for a ground floor room, and did not get one. Oh, and the "bistro" at night was BS. If I am going to pay $5 for a glass of wine I expect there to be dancing girls or something.

  • Liked — The shower was awesome!!!!!
  • Disliked — It felt a little sterile. No charm, no ambiance.
