First, I don't give 5 stars to any hotel as that makes it seems like it is perfect and no hotel is perfect - but this comes pretty darn close!

the service was excellent - from the front desk to the bar staff to the staff in the restaurant for breakfast in the morning, very accomodating, very polite and sincere. we had a 1.5 year old baby and they were all very helpful.

room was excellent - huge king bed - we requested a crib and they set it up in the room beforehand and it was extremely nice.

bathroom was excellent, great shower, could have stayed there for hours.

food was also good, breakfast was great and the flat breads the night before also good.

if you are a gold/diamond member, excellent perks: 2 bottles of water, free internet, free breakfast and free appetizers during dinner in the bar area.

i'm almost tempted to give it a five star review,...

The rooms are beautiful and ultra comfortable, the service is topnotch, the food is perfect, the public areas are enticing and stylish. To me this is what a good or great hotel should be and it should set the standard of what a hotel for all the hotels in the area. I love this place and would happily stay here again and again. If you have any choice in the Tyson's Corner area, this should be the one you choose. You will not regret it.

I have been staying at this hotel for years when I travel for business. It has always been pretty comfortable with reasonably sized rooms, a gym, a pool, and amenities. It formerly had a stupid couple of steps between the parking lot and main lobby i had to wrestle my rolling suitcase over--- but no more! Now the lobby is accessible with no steps from the back parking lot which is a big improvement. They have improved the desks and chairs, making it nicer to work in the room. Easier to use swipe-less key cards are nice when your hands are full. higher quality treadmills in the gym. Individual bedside lights. More outlets in the room for devices- including next to the bed. The only thing i could see anyone complaining about is the price, but I get a discounted corporate rate through corporate our travel agent, so I don't have to worry about that.

The hotel is undergoing a extensive renovation. It was not a problem at all! The interior was wonderful. The front desk was helpful and friendly especially Von and Jasmine. She smiled all the time. The breakfast, and bar area were inviting and refreshing. The rooms are very modern with state of the art bathrooms. Short ride to Metro stop.
I will definitely stay here again. and again.
