My husband and I stayed here on a layover and found this to be an excellent hotel! The rooms were very nice and beds very comfortable. We took a cab to get there (as we arrived late at night). It cost us $18 with tip. In the morning we took the 6:00 shuttle and they even made sure the hot breakfast was ready slightly before 6:00 so we could grab some to go. Excellent stay for only $57!

We booked a room here and were able to leave our car in their lot for up to two weeks. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a very nice room and had a nice breakfast before taking their shuttle to the airport. It was almost midnight when we returned, and we were able to phone the hotel for a courtesy bus pickup with a very genial driver. We will definitely book here again!

Maintains the name of Hampton Inn with great pride !!. Stayed there for a night while visiting Dc with family.. Everyone was very pleased with the cleanliness.. Breakfast is really hygienic and nice!! Overall pleasurable experience.

I spent three nights (and days) here on business to attend a training course at the hotel. It is by no means a bad hotel, and the rate I paid was very reasonable, but this review is signficantly colored by me NOT having a car since the training course was held at the hotel.

The good:
* Staff - very friendly and helpful
* Room - large, comfortable bed, nice bedding, large desk, excellent bathroom with tiled stand-up shower
* Free wireless internet access everywhere in the hotel
* Free breakfast
* Small swimming pool and fitness area
* Free shuttle to Dulles Airport every half hour
* Business center with three PCs and a printer

The "could-go-either-way":
* Proximity to Dulles Airport
* Very heavy, generic breakfast (eg, microwaved egg products, lots of supermarket-style breads). Healthy/light options (eg, yogurt and fruit salad) were limited.
* It's right on the highway. The view is either parking lot, traffic, or both.
* There is an hourly shuttle bus service to a nearby mall with a half dozen or so typical chain restaurant options, but it's infrequent and slow. If you don't have a car, you're very limited in your meal options.

The bad:
* There is no restaurant or even a kitchen on site. All food (including breakfast) is brought in pre-prepared. The only restaurant within walking distance is O'Malley's pub at the Holiday Inn about 5-10 mins away. They are probably what you'd expect...not great...and have a reasonably wide selection of dishes, but nearly everything includes both bacon and cheese. The prepared lunches for training course attendees came from here so within 2-3 days I had covered just about everything on the menu.
* Lots of ants in the conference room. There's no real short-term solution to this since you really don't want to sit in a conference room that's just been sprayed for insects, so we just had to live with it for three days.

This is not a hotel I would recommend for site-seeing in DC or to stay at for more than a night or two. I'd expect that most guests will be here either for short-term on business or before/after a flight at Dulles, and in either case are likely to have a car. To that end, it's a perfectly reasonable option.
